I never played the Merkavas put when I've played against them their armour and protection felt quit good, feeling nearly impossible to kill them in one shot.
It's a psychological effect, I swear that when you play them you feel like you have no survivability but when you play against them they're impossible to kill.
@@getout2012it also heavily depends on what merkava you speak about. Any of the 11.0+ merkavas get eaten alive through any part of their armor, while the 9.3 merkavas tank shells from the front super well at their BR.
I have all nations top tier and i still love all Merkavas. Merkava Mk1 and Mk2 are the best, but the mk3 and mk4's are great too. You just can't use it like a Abrams or a T80. Is not fast and have no good kenectic protection. Are better for sniping and long/mid range shoots like the Challengers in UK tech tree.
The Merkava 2D is a better choice as it is at a more tolerable BR, it has more composite screens and thicker versions to deal with HEAT and ATGMs and it has that extra degree of gun depression. The Merkava 3s are not in the best position as their armour is superior where they have it, but its all on the sides with precious little frontally (the Upper glacis 60mm Composite with NERA elements and the 40mm Turret front NERA) - Compare this to the Merkava 4 and its night and day difference.
I very appreciate you actually played it, that this is a gameplay video. Its not someone just staring into the screen ranting. All the salt is live action so wwe can literally see what the issues are. very much appreciated.
Now that it good a nice ifv,it has nice tanks (ofc ifv and tanks are lacking a lot of armor,but they still nice) , you can also bring the Barak (Obama) 2 for cas or the nice 16x spikes on heli
9:35 well, I happen to love dogs, but being honest a LOT of europeans eat horse and it's not like they didn't evolve with humans, so better stop playing france too XD
@@jyralnadreth4442Yeah and the rifled barrel gives you some of the best, or not, the best accuracy at top tier! I honestly love the Challies’ play style.
@@k1roextophia28 Rooikat 105 can still perform at that BR...DM33 is a good round. You could also pack the Bishma T90 as its armour is great (Literally 0.3 BR higher than the TURMS but is like 2 BRs worth effectively) Add the Petard and AVRE for the lols 😅
Honestly your my favorite war thunder TH-camr because your honest and have no filter 😂
This is literally DEFYN tank edition

The secret is the fuel tank in the front. Eats the spalling and the engine eats the round.

@@CrimzFN Not neceserally. The mk4's have very good turret armor and speed making them excelent snipers.
@robotb0ythegam3r any apfsds shells in the 11.0 br range rip through even the turret. Check the armor simulation ingame and see if
The salt is strong in this one, haha. Very funny.
My first Nuke i got was when i got air base spawn killed, i don't think I've been more depressed in a war thunder game
Same here, luckily the next match I got another nuke and that time I was able to drop it
This is just a skill issue lol
You’re bad at the game
@@lilMungo ???? lmao
@@lilymclaran6161 nah the tank actually sucks your don’t know what your talking about
@@lilMungo Nope, just skill issue
U must be a jew then

But.. 55 smoke..
German main’s favorite premium
well played
the tank is pretty damn solid you just arent using it right tbh, also israel is a solid ass tree idk what ur on abt
Ur jewish

they should make it when a nuke is up all tickets and timer on the match stops
The Merkava Mk3s should be at 10.3 BR, and the Mk4M should be the same BR as the other Mk4s... 11.3, fight me about it.
Idk i love top tier merkavas im good with them and honestly i get most nukes with them
I get most of my nukes with the DF-105, but that thing is truly OP
damn, and here I thought the brits had it bad
massive skill issue
9:22 very true
The raam segol is a good tank if you have a lot of experience. i have a 3kd ratio.
everything is good if you have a lot of experience

Nah Chally has decent armor and a very good scope and thermals. And not much slower than the merkava :D
Should I take the a6 over the f5 since it’s at at 11.0 (I’ve had enough of the higher brs) and this is for air rb
F5
F5 for Air RB although TRAM can carry enough firepower to pulverise a planet 😅
@@jyralnadreth4442 wouldn’t I be in more pain since the a6 is at 10.7 now and the f5 is at 11.0 and wouldn’t the a6 be more fun since it’s lower ?
Dont take the A6 it is trash
@@jyralnadreth4442 too bad it’s slow as fuck, can’t turn and has absolutely butchered thermals now
Some may hate it some may love it. I enjoy playing Merkava's and my friend I play with really like Challenger 2 OES.
now way i am getting the battle pass spg
I don't get that 19 year old TH-cam HR girl bit. What's that about?
Cheer up a little bro
I'm British, its impossible for us to be happy
it looks cool tho
please more funny accents or we will demonetize u
GAHD DAYUM, Sako with the hot-takes.
Merkava 3d should have been a tech tree vehicle gayjoob
Ah, yes, the Merkava. I don't like its design, looks ugly, annoying to play against
But at least has a dumb truck for an arse😂
Ugly? These are some of the most unique looking tanks ever designed . Look like they’re not even from earth lol
*KharkIv not KharkOv
Escape from kharkov
yippie!
Bro the Challenger 2 OES is like a thousand times better than this crap :D
its speed is a big problem, but it has solid armour and is a beast if used correctly. Its pretty much a heavy tank
@@jyralnadreth4442Yeah and the rifled barrel gives you some of the best, or not, the best accuracy at top tier! I honestly love the Challies’ play style.
@@jyralnadreth4442breach repair simulator
@@jyralnadreth4442 I thinking about Wallet warrior lineup
F-4J , Challenger 2 , Challenger DS
Good idea right....😅

I wouldt listen to opinion of a guy that got his first nuke two years after gajin added the possibility
It wasn't my first nuke
those anti WOKE comments, or I don't know what u ware aiming for, got old rly fast
