gaijen should just add ofekks tree
Bro I got a nuke with that shi at top tier 😭 it needs a uptier definitely and im glad gaijin is doing that
merkavas can tank kornets. and israel needs to make sure it can also fight stuff like T-90s and M1A1SAs because some neighbors have them
the notion that israel only fights against terrorists with small arms is simply false

Again that doesnt mean it cant stop ke shells
Merkava is super heavy for that reason it well protected from all threats
And btw the main reason merkava was made is to maximize crew protection cuz israel cant afford losing soldiers
All the bug reports with evidance support it can take the roound u said irl
Yes its clasified but gaijin can value it from pics and stats they just dont do that
Yea but its nice to take some volumetric shots in a downtier
Now in a full uptier it will be unplayble
Its allready struggled against leo 2a4 due to bad mobility now u want to put it against t90 ,mbt 2000 and such so its canon not gonna be good either
Obviously the main subject of Merkavas, looking at the pic it looks like it can tank 2-3 Kornet getting hit in the same spot
But that doesnt mean it doesnt have any KE protection
You cant tell me T-90 no ERA has better armor than the Merkavas turret just because the IDF focus on CE protection more
It would have the same KE protection as the M1A1 DU turret ingame ATLEAST and that is THE LEAST it can go
What I’m afraid of right now is what will happen when they add turret baskets to the Merkavas. I’ve seen many people mad about it.
I don’t know, it could go either way.
The armor is paper and it just relies on angles and stuff absorbing pen to not pop off. So more stuff if there may help.
Plus the mk4’s don’t have a basket. That’s why it’s so roomy.
a merkava 4a as a premuim i think will be good, because the raam sagol is getting uptiered to 12.7 alot and the Mk4 could survive slightly more, then also they could lower the tier of the raam sagol
@archeageisdown
Dude, stop with the insults against Israel players.
Either prove we’re wrong about the bugs involving the vehicles we’re claiming are bugged or accept we have different perspectives and move on.
source?
In-game. Not out of game. Source : thousands of rounds playing Israel as well as other nations at top tier.
i love how some ppl here are trying to gaslight other ppl to say the merkava is not good, brother, not to be rude ofc but im israeli and i can promise you there is atleast one more person here who is, you cant gaslight us about our own tanks x-x
ok
also premuim merkava 4A when XD? i need merkava 4 pls
I’ve been waiting for rank 1 Israel since before it was announced for War Thunder…
i dont think a premium mekrava 4a would be a good idea, since it is completely copy pasted.
a good idea might be
merkava 4, but with iron fist, made for testing
and i dont think adding a top tier tank is needed, what is needed, is a merkava armor rework, namer armor rework (comon, a merkava without the turret but same weight = way less armor and worse speed?)
and a top tier spaa already, or else israel top tier is cooked
i agree, but im thinking another one just because alot of nations ingame already have 11.3 and 11.7 premiums, and israel has the raam sagl which gets uptiered alot, so if they add one that is 11.7 they could lower the raam sagol’s BR, but also yeah fix the armour already pls
I’m on board for a majority of changes, however there are some I beleive you’re just absolutely wrong about.
Firstly the Sabra Mk.1:
It should be at 10.0 and it should stay there. Your comparison to a light tank is hilarious and quite foolish. It’s a great tank and it more than viable with its gun and ammunition. I would however love to finally see the composite armor on this vehicle buffed, give its weaker than rubber fabric screens man…
Secondly the A-4N Ayit:
It’s fine at 10.0 in GRB, if fact it should even be there is Air RB man. It’s Mavericks and Walleyes are quite strong and unseen at the BR, and it’s a very potent SPAA killer.
Thirdly the Merkava Mk.3s:
Perhaps earlier versions can be limited to the earlier 120mm APFSDS rounds used by the Merkava (not ingame yet) and dropped in BR only then, but they’re mostly fine where they’re at. Their mobility is fine for the most part, their protection is decently viable and trolly, and their cannon is quite powerful and effective. It should not see itself going anywhere below 11.0, and it never will given Israeli players are too skilled to let that happen.
Next the Merkava Mk.4s:
It’s fine at 12.0 and should go no lower (although yes an argument could be reasonably made for the non APS variants to be 11.7). It has some decent armor, enough in which an M1 or M1 KVT cannon reliably pen the vehicle to knock out any turret crew from the front except with a pixel shot. It’s a great tank, much better than the Arietes at the same BR. You’ll live, as have I. Just needs its armor buffs someday and we’ll be good to go.
Lastly the Aircraft, Kurnass/Kurnass 2000/AH-60:
Just a LOT of decompression in Ground RB when it comes to CAS, hopefully it’ll be fixed someday but as of now it is what is it, and Israel isn’t the only one suffering from this.
As for things such as the Early Merkavas going up, kind of torn, so I’ll leave that to those more experienced with it.
