Sometimes the bait is too obvious.
spyder vs chappral.
i think we can all agree,
we would be happier if gaijin would just not add the spyder, to save the insult at least.
I’ll admit if you know what you are doing the Merk is pretty resilient but that takes skill and positioning two things that make any tank good. Most of the time the Merk survives hits because people dont know how to hurt it or reflexively shoot anything coming around a corner and the engine eats the hit. This doesn’t equate to the tank being survivable but the players overall skill level. As for the SPYDER, it can get kills yes, but it also cant do it anywhere near as well as it’s contemporaries. Because it’s blind, and it’s missiles are bugged. Every other SPAA can fairly easily intercept incoming munitions, except SPYDER. and SPYDER’s no escape zone is around 7km which is woefully low for a top tier SPAAG
Missiles are blind so even the No-escape range doesn’t exist.
Lock display is red but when you fire the missile, most of the time it runs in IOG mode or track a tree or a cloud. When it tracks the target you have 9/10 chance that the missile changes direction for no reason when at 500 from the target and makes its life somewhere else …
Considering a 292 was nonpenning my side, the HE couldn’t OP me except my Drivers port. I think its pretty survivable.
I agree but I have to say and this isn’t my just my thoughts and what not, this comes from high level players, the Merkava is a excellent tank in terms of survivability because its so spacious and big that its hard to get a good 1 shot unless your directly in the front and they have a high pen shell. and yeah the SPYDER is ahh bro, its radar is so bad that its derbies cant be used and unless you have a hard lock w/ the Pythons you’ll likely miss.
it’s chass is the biggest out of all tanks in this game and it gets penned by dm23 in front, it is modeled wrong because there is SLERA instead of NERA. Front armor shot at least takes 2 out of your crew, you cant shoot, your engine is dead and the 2nd shot ends you
I rarely have this happen. it must be a issue on your behalf.
your breached and Rad? you can move behind cover still? seems pretty survivable, try that w/ a leo or abrams.
in most situations it will just ricochet, at least abrams, leo and t80/90 have unpenetratable turrets
Lmao what?

Leo would eat a shell to the turret and so does the abrams and 2a7 to the hull as well like the entire t series ans strvs
Even type 10 has better armor then the merks its just sad

DM23 will go through at 2000 meters as well. With the angle it will impact at with that range, goes right through the UFP like its butter. If they hit the drivers side just right, it goes through the driver and one of the turret crew
I have also eaten 38s tbf it happens not enough to be common but not enough to be rare either. Id say 4/10
Idk happend to me maybe twice
Maveriks u can eat more especially the ge ones
Skill issue on the 292s part. The 1 shot kill spot isn’t hard to find on the Merkavas for all 11.7-12.0 tank.

Wow just wow. Not only do Python and Derby have a hard time hitting a target below 6km (most missiles were fired at 3). However, the seeker on Python 5 is looking backward, or it sees its target but massively overcorrects, or simply flies off in a different direction? The Derby, on the other hand, sees its target but just flies straight past it when it decides to track.
