Reposted the bug report without that picture. Don’t have high hopes though.

Anything that goes in top tier Japan is butchered. It not even an exaggeration to say that top tier Japan and now Thailand is the most broken (in the bad way).
I hope you do realise the entire point of duplet and nizh is to be a layered defence, grouping them up together defeats the entire purpose of it. You can see this layered defence integrated into the hull and on the frontal portion of its turret.
Stop being ignorant

As a Merkava fan, I understand your pain.

Ah yes, the light tank🤣
Us MBT light tank users need to unite.
Nah man Merkava Mk.4 is a peak tank. How is the survivability after that dumb vertical drive/engine spall nerf? Before it was insane, I don’t know about now.
Survivability wasn’t insane ever. APFSDS damage is based on residual pen, so having low-thickness armor means more spall. I have my entire crew regularly vaporized through unaimed center mass shots. They also nerfed how much spall engines eat.
No armor to be seen here. This can’t even stop DM23 (105).
It’s actually really frustrating.

Gaijin’s just seething that IRL the Uke’s made a better version of the tank than their glorious motherland, so naturally in-game it’s got to be dogwater in comparison while naturally their glorious T-series that are dogwater IRL vastly overperform in the game.
It’s playing out exactly as I expected it to. If I had bet money on it, I would’ve won quite a sum.

It was, especially to the sides. Front is lackluster but i’d often find myself taking near 0 damage to sideshots, maybe losing 1 crew or them somehow nonpenning.
Id personally say that the t-series are the most accurate to there real life counterparts. And I’d say that every other tank is underproforming way too much.

Don’t bother arguing with this guy, he’s completely biased against anything Russian because he can’t aim at their weakspots and says they’re OP.

Not entirely because the T-Series frontal LoS is overperforming in effectiveness ontop of the overperforming ERA-Relict-Kontact. They are not accurate to real-life performance. Never have been.
Also, ignore Magik’s bogus claims. He’s just salty I’ve killed him a handful of times in matches.

Complete lie btw, LMAO.
It’s not.
It might take more HEAT rounds than other top-tier tanks, but its sides are just as fragile to darts as any other tank.

It’s not my problem if you can’t remember, so stay salty little guy.

In my playtime one-shots were rare, people just don’t know where to aim. It also feels like protection analysis lies on this tank, I’ve nonpenned a Merkava in areas where it should’ve penned in analysis.
Ladies ladies, let’s break it up😂

Sure, it might survive a single penetration, but it’s not gonna take another shot. That’s not really survivability if your entire tank is crippled.
You can’t just make the entire tank frontally green to 12.0 APFSDS and call it good because it can survive being penetrated sometimes twice.
I mean, usually if you’re shot in other tanks people know how to kill you and you end up being disabled/dead. I feel the Merkava gives you a second chance, most shots during the time I played it were driver/loader or damage that did not prevent me from firing back.
Now i’ll be clear I have not played it after the update, I don’t know if the vertical drive or engine spall nerf thing have changed it.
