it’s now at 10.0 and theres nothing to take with the 2D.
Sabra while it’s under-BR’d, Merkava Mk2s, Gal Batesh…

mk2s arent under br’d.
sabra would only go up if there’s a decompression, so this is not the case.
like, why would the sabra be the same br as m60 ambt and the 120S?
Firing an extremely similar round.
Also Sabra is currently 10.0.
AMBT is also under-BR’d, might be fine though it do have some turret armor.
extremely similar round is your only argument?
ambt has more mobility, m60 120s has a 5 second reload.
They’re all M60 hulls.
The AMBT is an M60 derivative with a better power pack.
Sabra is an M60 derivative with a better turret.
120S is an M60 derivative with a better turret.
My bad I by what I was reading I thought this was about the 2B in US tree. It went up up also.
yes, i know, but this is not the point here.
Mobility is fine, and for me it’s viable enough really. It is one of its detriments yes, but like i said a BR around 10.0-10.3 would be fair if they buffed the reload on it. Compared to the 10.7 MBTs, it could reasonably be considered balanced there with its superior firepower yet inferior mobility. (On something like an Urban map it isnt really that noticeable or needed)
Heavily disagree. They may be initially based on introduction, with better rounds being added later if needed, but literally it’s the same thing here. The DM63 105mm round is nothing special, and adding it to the Merkava Mk.2D wouldn’t change anything at all or warrant a BR increase. It’s currently found on the Magachs at 9.3 without any issue, so BR relation is of no issue when it can and should be placed on a 10.0 vehicle that’s hardly any better than the 9.7 variant with the same round.
I agree! I had no issue with them going up unlike some others. But then again those are probably the same players who will complain when the Ayit finally goes up in Air RB… lmao…
The Merkavas survivability is, different I guess you could say. Its armor is angular and trolly, but not strong in terms of resistance to rounds unless it’s being trolly. Another thing to keep in mind that contributes to its survivability is its spread out crew, making it quite hard to kill one with only 1 or 2 rounds if you don’t know where the crew is at. The armor is still underperforming historically as it stands even lol, especially chemically.
I disagree
The mobility on the merk1 is bad more so on the 2d
And it has avarge fp
Maybe if they give it the better round and reload it would be ok but its unneccery
It was fine at 9.7 which is allready a strech when u get uptierd to 2a4 and t80 with top tier mobility the good thing is that 9.7 didnt get alot of upteirs and mainly downtiers
merkava stronk. merkava best. merkava blessed by Yahweh.
What I love is that gaijin does that with tanks, giving out bullets depending on what interests them instead of using realism. How is it possible that the latest Magach have the M426 and the Merkava 2D, which would be more modern than those Magach has an inferior bullet, complete nonsense.
And now the Merkava 2D has its Br raised to 10.0, without having the M426.
I fully split survivability from armour.
Armour is nothing but your resitance to rounds. Survivability is your abilty to survive penetrating shots or hits in general.
The IS-3 has extremly good armour but is not survivable, because its weakspot is also the spot where you kill most if not all of the crew and most pens will kill you as long as you hit the crew-compartment.
The Marder has no armour, yet it is very survivable, because most pens will not kill more than 1 or 2 crew and you can only kill enough crew from very specific angles or by hitting the ammo. SO while you will constantly be penetrated you will usualy not die in 1 hit.
The Merkava has decent armour and great survivability, which is a great combination to have.
Not only do you resist some shots, those that do pen are not likely to kill you.
Survivability is superiour to armour. I don`t think many would disagree with that. And any who use my general definition can not disagree. As armour is an aspect of survivabilty, but survivabilty is not an aspect of armour.
hope that clears up my statements

Merkava tanks need LAHAT too. It’s unfair that many Merkava variants can fire it but it’s not being added to the game.

Its kinda usless on tanks but it can be great on helis and atgms carriers
As one should.
This is the reason I bring out Merkava Mk3 over Abrams in CQC environments more often.
Yes, the Abrams has more armor, but the Merkava has more survivability from my experience.
M1128 is also another example of survivability over armor.
Well it has a penetration of 800-900mm after ERA and a top-attack option, kinda like a Spike, so it is very good
Although I do for the most part agree with this, but I got to ask: when are you not killing a marder in one shot lmao? I’ve never not killed one in a single shot afaik. Did you mean Merkava? Lol
Perfect addition
