Gaijin when buffing Russian vehicles: One mention in some obscure report Gaijin when buffing NATO vehicles: oh we need multiple primary sources, multiple secondary sources, and well documented schematics.

Speaking of the Merkava's, there's a vehicle based on the Merkava hull that I'd love to see in the game. It's called the Sholef, and was built between 1984-86 on the chassis of the Merkava Mk. 1, weighs 45 tons, and is armed with a 155mm howitzer.

Merkava is not in a bad position even though they got nerfed. I have played since the Merkava in the game with no nerf and have played it every day to today. It never gets in the bad selection for playing this tank. when Merkava got nerfed turret, it is still a good choice for playing for fun in sniper mode. when close range, it is hard but good at the same time. So, Merkava is still the best in-game even if it is got nerf and dev, staff, CM whatever who manages the forum is ignorant of the fact about reload time and armor issues by being blind to it.

The 9.7 premium has had something done, armor value in turret has gotten worse? Every time you get shot in the turret you lose 2 crew. That wasn't a thing before, its like 95% of the time.

only same reload when aced, and still you get frakked when you lose crew members. Not really a buff, unless they add in a auto loader

Imagine if the Merkava's reload was buffed during the time the LIC was introduced with armor that made the Strv 122 B PLSS look like a joke, just imagine!

That's the thing bother me the most. Merkava in the dev server were actually tanky, and with not an insane armor aside the turret...it was still penetrable by some top tier rounds, but the turret was enough good for some hull down tactics. Then the tragedy hits as the TT went live, then they redo the same shit with the LIC (good turret armor, near to zero on the hull, fair trade) and nerfed it again. I mean come on, i get, it's all composite and whatever but truly they think the Mk4s are protected with something with less KE value than rubber? After what countries are the neighbourhoods of Israel, with their MBTs (and how tanks played a VITAL role since the Independence War for Israel)? Dunno man, even the dev server's value would already help such massive tank to hold his own on the field...

They buffed this, but still cover their ears as soon as Ariete gets mentioned. For years that thing been intentionally screwed over by the devs, they refuse to give it any composite armor despite the real thing having it and so many people shown non classified evidence including manufacturers statements and the devs will just say smuggly "Not enough evidence" then either delete posts or tell people to just "play other nations"

Gaijin PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE give the merky my beloved its turret ball chains. It's so incomplete without them, please mighty snail Also the armour stats are fucked bruh how'd gaijin make the most survivable tank in the world made out of paper in game

This tank armor is not what it should be no way it is like that IRL and the abilities and motivation put into these tanks the Israli makers weren't stupid just look at the Barak Merkava they are coming out with in Israel there is no way these original Merkava tanks were ever really bad in what they do.

Take them what 2 years, since the tt introduction? Jeez then for an actual armor buff we should wait 2 more years, if not straight 4... Their excuses are also pathetic, balancing reason, so also for the Abrams is a balancing reason? Then i want the Ariete being as fast as the Type 90/10 since they use paper as armor. It's a fair trade, even a bargain, for the 5 italian mains out there.
