Russia needs more stuff at 12.0

The Merkavas are decent at sniping with their high-gen thermals and LWS. Turret armor is decent.

Gen 2 is a normal thing for top tier
If something its should get gen 3 and lws is nice but not something to go crazy more so on peper tank when u cant turn ur tank quicly to block shots like t90

@Magikッ

You’d be surprised how well they can brawl, as shoot too low on the UFP (Happens a lot) and they will only get your mobility. Merkava can also sidescrape the loader side really well, so they can only take your loader or track at most while you can kill them. The Merkavas side armor is also pretty good, with autocannons unable to pen the upper side. If they shoot the lower side, a few rounds will pass through doing nothing because of the empty space

That was valid before the air supreiority update with 2a7 t90m and spall liners

@Magikッ

The shell’s pretty good at 5s, having above 600mm pen which is great. Also, weight on 105-125 modern APFSDS doesn’t matter for spalling, you can watch Zenturion7’s APFSDS mythbusting video

Just mid
Not bad but not great just to remind leclerc ,ariete, challys and abrams have 5 sec too so exept the leos its normal relaod rate for nato

@Magikッ

The armor is trolly - (Protection analysis lies on them, they’re stronger in game). They have pretty good survivability, however they are beaten by Leos (obv).

Again that was the thing that made them playable before the new mbts

@Magikッ

As for mobility its pretty nice, as they have the best transmission at top tier and a good HP/Ton ratio.
The APS however, is pretty bad. Its bugged.

Type 90 have better transmition and yea its nice to reverse fast but its not a game breaker by any mean and u pay for it in top speed
And for hp/ton its average nothing special

[noamax]

My point is that evrything merkava can do other nato mbts can do better especially type 90 an leclerc which have similar “dont get shot” playstyle

[Magikッ]

Well, they do have a unique playstyle I prefer over the likes of a Russian tank. I personally consider them to be better.

[Wifi-Soldier98]

I’m hoping Russia at some point Russia will put the 2S25M turret on the Bummerang 8x8 hull just as a one off prototype.

That photo is photoshopped

[Wifi-Soldier98]

I know, I wish Russia would do it IRL so we could get it in the game.

[noamax]

If u like this playstyle then just take tkx and u will do better

[Sternlos]

It would be worse than the regular 2S25m already in game. Higher profile so its even harder to hide with the same problem being 4 degrees of depression, and slugish instant acceleration for higher top speed so its harder to play around flat cover.

It would look cool thats about it.

Coincidentally just got the Type 10, i’d say its worse due to the lack of acceleration. But I am loving the 4s autoloader.

[noamax]

Its bcuz u are stock
Merk has 23 hp/t when tkx has 27 hp/t

[Magikッ]

@noamax

Merk has 23 hp/t when tkx has 27 hp/t

You forget the TKX has a really, really bad gear ratio for its transmission.

[noamax]

Well tell that to the type 90 that get to position first

I think the Object 477A would fit well at 12.0

Depending on how they model the armor though, supposedly it has insane frontal protection.

[TheIrishBread]

It seems im living in yours where you reply to a post I made two days ago in reply to you stating what you just have in this post again, further proving my original point. As for the allegations of flag abusing the only post ive flagged of yours recently is one where you started shitting on a forum member who wasn’t even participating in the discussion in the Infamous KH-38MT thread and it was rightly removed for being off topic and against forum rules which you seem to do both often.

if they give Ukraine to Russia, they will be able to have a B1 Centauro 105

[TheIrishBread]

Thats not even close to likely to happen. BMP-T, gaz tigr variants and things like kurganets and bumerang are the likely options.

[Kingtiez-live]

You say that until you look at other trees that got other nations stuff when they have plenty to fill the gap with their own stuff. Theres nothing stopping these from being added.

[TheIrishBread]

Apart from the PR shitshow that would ensue. The most contentious one to date imo was India and that seems to have been well received. Modern Ukraine in USSR tree will definitely not be.
