Merkava Mk.2D

[Vamilad]

Why is this tank not 9.3

My ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ZTZ96 is 9.3

Why is this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ tank 9.0 Gaijin are you catatonic?

[hsf_]

It's easy to kill though, just like all MBTs at 8.7+

What makes you believe it should be moving up to 9.3?

Also you mention the ZTZ96... you know that that thing has the main weakspot of all russian tanks right? Its ammo... if any shot penetrates it just hits the ammo. Thats not cause the merkava is OP, its cause your tank isnt designed well

I mention the ZTZ96 being 9.3 to showcase how undertiered the Merkava is at 9.0

I know Chinese tanks are a meme, I enjoy the meme. That doesn't mean I'm not going to complain when I'm fighting a tank which compared to all other similarly ranked tanks it under its BR.

The T72B3 Also has that weakspot and worse reverse, does that make it worse than the MK2D despite being 10.7?

It shouldn't be able to fight 8.0

I don't look at weakspots as a base judgement for a vehicle's strengths. I don't know why people do that when you're not going to make a perfect shot in every engagement. The majority of the time the Merkava in a head on fight has limited penetration opportunities that will instantly knock out the tank.

Yes in the same way it's your fault the sun will explode in 2.5 billion years.

No cause I cant control that, meanwhile you can get better at the game to deal with merkavas. You are just a bad player

You can still kill it at 8.0...

Because it's highly survivable for crew, that's the only advantage it has, have you though about shooting it's breach to disable it? Cause you can't realistically one shot a merkava because of crew layouts no matter the BR

I can kill any tank in the game with any tank in the game minus like the Maus, that doesn't mean it's balanced.

Yes which is where the BR comes in to play. Not everyone has 300 pen APFSDS at 8.0

So you can't kill a merkava therefore balance should be shifted according to your wants because.... You suck?

I can kill the Merkava the balanced should be shifted because it overperforms compared to similar tiered vehicles and would still be comfortable at 9.3

Most do, Heck china gets tandem warhead firing armored cars that Can fire APFSDS, Also APDS from things like the type 59 Is plenty enough to knock a merkava

It doesn't overperform, it's outperfomed in every way except mobility, stop finding excuses. A vehicle not being easy to one-shot doesn't make it OP, especially if that's it's whole selling point

It has a spacious inside. It has usable APFSDS, it has all the bells and whistles before any other tank at the BR. The only thing it doesn't have is the best gun, but the gun it has is pretty damn good.
