It’s actually comical that they have the Sholef 15 tons heavier and the Merkava Mk.4 15 tons lighter lol
If I had a nickel for how many unfixed bugs Israeli vehicles have, I’d be Bill Gates basically lol

And what’s really funny is that gaijin could’ve just made the merkavas be the “Heavy tanks” of top tier. 81 tons, powerful APHE and APFSDS, insane armor with small weakspots and kept the 6.7 second reload
But nah you get a 5 second reload, you get a 5 second reload, everyone gets a 5 second reload!!

I don’t have any issues with the 5 second reload since the Merkava has an assisted loader, but I don’t like that they chose this approach either. I’d much rather armor buffs.
I’ve Been waiting for this thread. The Merks are such great tanks and they got nerfed into the ground years ago. I’d love them to Fix the armor as well as the engine block…

I have a bad feeling the armour will only come once it gets its 80 ton weight
That’s what should happen.
Gaijin stated it can’t have good armor for the coverage because it’s 65 tons. If it gets bumped to 80-85 tons, it’s fixed according to them.

In what occasion was this stated?
I don’t remember hearing this before.
Made a couple of reports myself on the Namer.
Too bad that when they get passed as “suggestion” they carry little to no weight. Quite sad.

They stated the vehicle couldn’t be that tough because it was 65 tons with this much armor, so they nerfed it.
i dont know why this made me laugh.
gaijin and their beliefs.
You mean vehicle weight will go to 80t, but armor protection will be improved just enough to not be actually relevant.

Who knows in the end, aside from the devs.
This is exactly what will happen. Repeated history of other changes supports this 100%
The Merkava reload buff is dreamy

I can’t wait to try it out for myself…
The Merkava was never bad
In fact, it is the best tank in game.
(Gaijins gonna fix it then pull this)
