People often are mistaken as the merkava is not in fact an APC... yes it could possibly carry 6 people... but it is where the ammo is stored so you would have to take the ammo out and only have 10 rounds in the ready rack for a mk 4 for example. It is in fact only used in an emergencey which they can put a stretcher inside and evacuate the casualty

From what I have read it is situational whether they carry dismounts. Apparently one of Merkavas in the 2006 conflict was damaged by a mine and had 7 personnel aboard. With the variety of conflict types Israel has had, the ability to have dismounts over more main gun ammo can be quite useful, particularly if you have to deal with enemy ATGM's rather than MBT's.

I love it when you call enemy/friendly players psycho/insane/crazy/mad because the way you make it sound sounds like you are genuinely confused and also concerned for them at the same time, Almost like Obiwan saying "Don't try it" to Anakin in their duel.

you can thank gaijin retarded volumetric system. irl a round would normally go through a merk at one point but in warthunder bounce or shatter because it ever so slightly clips a piece of armour when in reality it would just keep going

I really appreciate these daily uploads during May, excited to watch this one! Thanks Odd

Finding myself against merkavas makes me understand a certain moustache guy

The XA-38 Grizzly is now 3.7 and a lot of fun as a result. Great to take with the M4A5 RAM.

Realistically, this works so well because Odd is at the controls. When I take this thing out it's like a paper mache facsimile of what a tank should be. I'll continue to live vicariously. GG

100% accurate representation of PUMA's cannon sound

YO at the 10:31 min I was the Leopard 2k and I got deleted by that rooikat 105 as my 20mm didn't pen for some reason, I'm so happy I was in the video :D

I have this merkava and really the only thing keeping it back from competing is the reload rate, 7.1s aced - on par with t-72 platform. all that is pretty funny because there were several bug report about the reload rate citing multiple documents and including a lot of videos of potenrial reload rate, all of them shot down by gaijin because those weren't credible sources. no wonder why izraeli winrates are about 40% in top tier

If it’s not Russian or German ground, or Russian or American Air It’s not a priority, nor do they care to fix things Look at the C1 Ariete It should have better armor then the Type 90 and the T-64 But it has barely better armor then the Type 10 and no hull armor other then a minor spaced plate, when it should have composite The fact that they won’t let you add the PSO and WAR kits like it could IRL And the fact that they get moved up even though they only get a round that is already comparable to others It’s just dumb Same goes for the air, and for France, China, Japan and, like y’all have pointed out, Israel

I was just about to buy this today, glad you have a video on it now.

8:10 Bawz you killed a child… great work thats why you’re the best

There is something called Namer which is an APC converted from Merkavas. They use that space for transport. But Merkavas themselves, while they COULD pick up people, were not designed as IFV/APCs that's where ammo normally goes.

Bawz, trust me when I say when you get 8.7 or 9.0 matchmaker in a 9.3 vehicle you can get some crazy lasting games; there's no drones to waste people's spawnpoints so more people spawn, and there's usually a lot of russian vehicles going around trying to kill everyone. I've been having a good time with the german T-72 and the M48 Super together with the begleit, you can get some really tough fights when there's Battle mode as well! Give the 9.3 matchmaker another shot, it's probably the last BR bracket before top-tier falls apart because of lack of players

8:03 credit to the guys who bought a high-tier premium and then built a lineup with whatever they could to at least try to contribute.

You sound like Korg being a narrator. And I love it. :D

Great video 👍. Catching up to vids I was waiting to watch. Goodnight BAWZ.

Thanks Oddbawz !!! Great video

Got this yesterday as well. Great 9.3 tank though I got a lot of 10.0 upiers

the APC part isn't true people just think that because they decided to stuff an entire squad inside of it to demonstrate how spacious the inside was.

I actually discovered removing the mine protection modification on the bottom of tank actually helps with mobility quite a bit

That falafel look tasty

If there was any tank that I would feel safer to crew than an Abrams, it would be a Markava.

It also depends on the nation. French 8.3 seems to be constant downtier, too.

they spawn in last second to get another kill and their protection lasts to the end of the game.

2D is a decent tank. It’s too bad it is a bit below average overall, when combining mobility and survivability.

I want to know what happened to this light tank on the horizon at 9:13 . My boy went flying!

How to get that Decal "The White V" on that Leopard 12:30, I looked for it all over the decals in customizations but couldn't find it.

Most 9.0-9.7 tanks have some of the features of 10.0 tanks, but also some deficiencies, like the T-72's glacial reverse and the Kpz-70's weak armor. This one just has all the 10.0 features at a lower BR; it's got decent armor, good 105mm rounds, decent agility, tolerable straight-line speed, thermal sight, and even LWS. What is it doing at 9.3?

1:11 "Ouch"

Getting daily updates to my breakfast entertainment channel is great ^^ Just make sure you don't burn yourself out OddBawZ, I prefer occasional content to zero content every time.

you really should show reward screens for the battles

you see how dirty they did the MBT/KPZ70? it now has the same pen as the stock T62 shell but still 9.3. do a review on that.

First battle, I absolutely hate that map, the second the enemy controls B when your top spawn, that's it the end the game is over.

Can you please make a video to the Leclerc Family? I‘ve never seen a recent video to them

they need to give the US Merkava Mk.2B the M413 shell. Its also pretty sad how slow the Merkavas in general are now after the traction changes to tracks. You have better grip but for some reason across the board and especially noticeably on the Merkavas, you accelerate way slower now and you are lucky if you even hit your top speed (which is slow) on a slight downhill. On level ground you arent gonna see it anymore. You used to be able to reliably hit top speed on level ground.

Saw some Merkavas rolling when I visited Israel a few years back, very cool looking vehicle. Kind of look like a Soviet tank with the silhouette and wide hull but definitely had Western DNA in it.

I really like the look of the tank and wanted to buy it but didn't cause yea it would of been the only tank I got of that tree. In other game they call this tank the door wedge or roof shingle.

Man I have been STRUGGLING on 8.3 area, both my German and American lineup constantly feels like my games are in the half uptier realm and can barely break even.

Take out the loudest gun in the game, the Puma, now it is at BR 9.7 and see if it still is a good tank. I think the BR upgrade was to remove the Puma from the game.

Odd in your next video i would like to hear you say purple burglar alarm 😂

Merkava isn’t an APC by any means. If you remove the ammo it can carry i think 4 stretchers for wounded personell, but to actually carry infantry? No, almost unheard of in any circumstances.

odd can you play the AMX-50 TOA100 you haven’t played it on the channel yet and there aren’t many videos of it on youtube

Yea I think you're just lucky as hell with BR placement lol. I get nothing but uptiers in this thing, and when it sees a Turms, it's only strength over most other mbts (survivability with the engine) becomes a con. The spall is a one hit kill the majority of the time when it hits basically anywhere. It's another case of a tank that doesn't seem to fit at any BR.
