Mind you, I’m the guy who got previously a Nuke stock HEAT-FS with I think 11-12 kills (didn’t get to drop I don’t think). So it’s not even me just being bad that day. I own the every Merkava, and looked at the weakspots it’s simply a nightmare to go against stock especially using NATO grade HEAT-FS. Even when I was locked in I got minced.
That 3 crew line up on the Leo is NASTY WORK 😭🤣.

This is with BR 10 Merkava against BR 12.7 Leo at 400 meters which is the most likely encounter apart from close quarters. Shell has 400mm pen.
ALL the way through like butter and don’t get me started on the OTHER big 3 nations at BR 12.7

It’s crazy ngl. The LINE UP, like the Leo is getting a cut.
Nowadays the Leo’s in CQC against KE are a joke kinda. Unless we are taking full frontal snap shots. But even then I’ve seen some nasty snaps on Leo 2s. Not to say it struggles but just an observation.

You know what’s funny. When I use Stock HEAT-FS on the Type 90 or the Free TKX you get sometimes at that BR. I aim for the roof and over-pressure them a lot 🤣. Poor Abrams.
To be fair, they can do it back, but I just don’t think they can do it with that HEAT-OR/MP round weirdly enough… Besides even stock + stock crew I have a 1-1.3 sec faster reload. If we both miss, I win…

Armor is last resort always, it can save you if you make a mistake but shouldn’t be the primary defense. Merkava in Urban envs is lethal. Leos are excellent with the right user and positioning. Understanding tanks strengths and weaknesses else they’re better off playing World of Tanks.

Yeah. Like it can be helpful to have on the upper and fore sides of the turret if you ever need to snipe or go hull down. But other than that, most engagements aren’t far off unless they are spawn sniping into the enemy spawn (otherwise most players don’t want to seem to snipe).
Overall I try to rely more on surprise, and concealment than my armor as the many times I’ve played a heavily armored vehicle just to have the Drump card on the other team, or for my weakspot to be hit and nullify my armor. It’s pointless relying on it, unless it’s in the Maus, even then. I tend to focus on maximizing the chances I get the first shot, and remain undetected as possible. If I feel overwhelmed I use that amazing reverse speed…
Holy hell bud it was a figure of speech to compare 😂
There’s a difference with the crew being lower in the turret and being spaced apart brother.

In you’re second statement if you’re getting killed by Helis, CAS with laser guided/TV missiles when you have LWS, APS
[/quote] okay again these are not a problem. Read what i originally stated my guy.
[quote=“Got a choppa@live, post:122, topic:230795”]
somehow gaijin found a “bug” allegedly with the roof armor and reduced its effectiveness with explosive even though its 200 mm of composite. And also did that around the same time they added the lmur.
[/quote] aps doesn’t counter it and most of the time Lws doesn’t go through off so sounds like a gameplay problem.
Japan and Israel are two different nations with completely different pros and cons. Japan is superior.
I don’t even know what majority of your argument is pointing at really other than trying to make comparisons with two completely different armor doctrines and somehow make those comparisons adequate. Again all these things for merk being under armored have already been acknowledged by devs bro
The forum is asking for buffs that “benefit everyone” but Merkava is already GOATED. Beautiful tank doesn’t need buffs. Forum stats under performance which is far from true. Top armor of all tanks is weak against air to ground. Forum stats struggle compared to USA and Germany definitely not true. If anything Merkava needs nerfs
I can tell from your response you didn’t read the forum. The entire reason for this forum is to buff Merkava because it struggles.
I never wrote the title for the post bro and no it is not goated. (It is to me personally though, as I enjoy them more than anything else)
Are you at all reading what I’m putting out? And this closing is contradicting to what you said
Make up your mind bro. Is it bad? Is it good? Cause you can’t seem to decide in a single saying.
Where are you going with this?
Actually tell me what needs nerfed on a merkava. Then we’ll see who’s got skill issue
There’s no talking to you, you can’t read or read the room. ✌🏾 agree to disagree or whatever

Took me like 10 minutes to find the damn video in my files

Oh yeah I saw that video this morning after your reply, but doesnt tell if the shot pen or did not penned.
then its either an overpen or a non pen i guess
(but maybe its non pen since im pretty sure it fired at the hull, and if it did the engine would have definitely started burning)
No signs of explosion, so its not a HE/HEAT round. So must be a sabot round.
Also the vehicle seems to be in a firing range, so I doubt it was actually loaded with ammunition nor fuel. If a sabot pens with no inflamable material inside it will look like nothing happened from outside.
i mean i guess your right, it looks like it was a normal pen with spall but since theres basically nothing inside (im guessing) it looks like nothing really happened.
Yeah it also looks like a propaganda video, doubt soviets are showing around their T-64 cant defeat a sherman right?
