if you hear the missile it can be already too late

It’s a case study in terrible game design.
It’s supposed to be Rock-paper-scissors, not rock-paper-tactical nuke
In game, both EAT spall, they don’t generate it.

Right? The tank was designed for the threats it faced but it wasn’t limited to those. It’s like saying that just because the Leopard 2A7V was designed/made to face modern tanks it can’t face chemical threats. It’s obvius that maybe the protection against kinetic threats is lower/not greater than modern tanks that ‘are designed to face modern tanks’ but it does have protection. Moreover, I don’t think that the IDF only thinks about their nearest threats, but also worldwide threats, and assuming they have advanced weaponry, it’s obvious they also have something to protect themselves with. Either way, although I’d love to see the Merkavas get more armor (for not it’s all green on the protection analysis from DM23s to DM53s), I do think that it’s survivable, you just need to somehow learn how to play it. Also, the 85 ton number has been discussed several times with no ‘reliable sources’. It’s weird that the tank weighs 65t while the Namer weighs the same with no turret, but that’s something we’re not discussing.
You don’t even have a single Abrams… And you perform better in the 2A5 over the T-80UK (0.77 K/D vs 0.71)

i HIGHLY doubt it
i would not die for classified document because unlike every other country the IDF is extremely careful on their classified documents
I’ve extensively tested this.
and i am extensively in doubt that you have tested it
The Horizontal Drive(turret basket) does generate additional spall if hit directly, you can easily test this by hitting the back of the drive and see an additional layer of spall from the point of contact with the drive.
Deny facts all you want. Both the basket and autoloader eat spall.
As for @WereCat888, if you’re using protection analysis, don’t. Its not trustworthy, and every experienced player knows how much it lies.
yes it may eat spall so what your a bit more survivble great now your horizontal is gone and your a free kill
That’s the most accurate tool we have tho, and even in protection analysis shots sometimes go without spall which happens in games as well.
Don’t expect to survive a hit. Its bad mentality and WILL get you killed. Never rely on your armor.
You could do it in-game instead, the protection analysis, hit analysis, and in-game all have different mechanics it seems.
this makes your survibility worse you most times would survive a shot crippled but usally fire back in this scenario you cant as your horizontal is gone
Sure it makes it slightly worse, but in my experience it hasn’t changed much. Apart from the odd LFP shot, the before and after had the same outcome - death or being disabled.
and only major nations got this nerf despite every nation having a turret basket
Im gonna be honest this is better because i did feel frustrated hitting a sideshot on an abrams and it doing pretty much nothing, now they need to apply this to the t series as well and make the autoloader part of the horizontal drive so when i hit the side and don’t get a kill at least they can’t fight back.
