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.
It's also a fast reloading SPG as well. And I'd love to see it too.
theres also a merkava or a magach that has spike missiles, and a spike missile merkava that looked like a merkava mbt but was just a missile launcher
@@KaiberusThe Pereh, based on the Magach chassis. The Israelis actually kept its existence a secret for quite some time
yeah would be pretty fun, albeit its yet another magach/merk@@shirghazaycowboys3049
Home-Grown Israeli Derp Gun
Gaijin buffed the reload Speed but what this tanks Need Is a fix to the armor values. Merkavas are not made out of paper and rubber
challengers don't either
@@nero9974 while is true and the challengers armor need a fix i feel merkava are in a worse situation. Challengers have some armor in the turret while merkava have none
If it is not russian ,goodluck
Goodluck with that, gaijin doesn’t like buffing things that aren’t Russian
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.
OMG! I love you Justin!🥰 Just wanna let you know that I MGed that ZTZ-99 cuz I was out of shells and on my way to replenish. I'm glad he gave up under my pressure :D
I'm with you on the 100k journey, keep up the good work man
i need to say i love these new types of videos that you do like take your whole or a part of your tank line keep that work up you NEEEEERD
Merkava has much more armour vs KE irl based on SLERA community research.
Not to mention the fact that she withstood a 1200mm ATGM hit to the forehead.
Maybe iam wrong bur Its maybe cause front head is like liying pyramid that bounce not just up but left and right to
17:26 your dart went through the abrams turret face from the back
finally a good reload time on the MK4M, as a veteran mk4 loader they could make it even 5.8 or 5.7 and it still be realistic.
anyway love your videos champ, keep it up :)
If you've got videos of that with your hatch closed, show them to Gaijin.
finally some merkava love
This tank has a nice kind of quite sound to the motor it doesn't make me have to think twice as if I'm hearing something like my own loud engine noise.
i like red desert because its a sniping map and personally think we need alot more of these maps
The map view looks like Pepe. You'll never be the same
What Ur saying is u want more maps where u just sit and ratkilling other players that's actually playing proper game and making objectives. And that's the reason there are only few maps like that.
@@Paveloo951 what im saying is playing how tanks are fucking meant... especially top tier
@@Paveloo951 Or, people want to actually play TANKS and not ketamine-fuelled go-karts.
11:55 man I'm amazed you took that so calmly. I've had second-hand anger for a good 15 minutes. What a joke.
Start of first battle reminds me of Steel Beasts when you did quick mission and it just had t72s bum rushing left and right for you to test your controls on haha
4:57 What was that sound?🤣🤣
Bro I had to rewind to listen to it again😂😂
A full merkava suite in one video is just spoiling us at this point, my goodness
FINALLY! this tank had me uninspired to grind until now.
Don’t worry, the armor is still utterly terrible.
@@augiehicks4588if it ain’t ariete armor it’s good
@@user-jc2in3cp3greal
Hey Justin, love the videos. Was wondering if you could revisit the T-72M2 Moderna?
The mk4s at 11.3 are fairly good, because you can get those down tiers to 10.3, you have a good cas plane and helo as well. The only thing Israel needs now is it's light tanks and atgm tank.
Achzarit T55 with enough armor to sustain 125 APFSDS with a 30mm and Spikes
I dont think there are any 11.3 Mk4s, unless you mean the Mk3 series
@@somerandomboibackup6086 there are
@@Nokknokkopenup nvm I read it wrong
There's a bunch they can add.
It's pretty awesome when you realize the person that just destroyed your vehicle is your favorite WT UA-camr JustinPlays! Always great videos, Bud!!
I love big maps with few players. I really don't like when a map like Cologne is just packed to the brim, it's just chaos and tanks become gocards with guns. I wish they brought back the maps, but I guess community prefers to hold W and shoot at each other at 100m.
The merkava, particularly the mark 3 and 4 should have access to a laser guided barrel launched missile (LAHAT), and 60mm HE mortar shells, but still has neither.
Hey Justin! i was wondering if you could re visit the BMP-3, your last video on it is almost 3 years old now, and i recently unlocked the thing and man is it fun
I could watch you play the merkavas for hours (actually, I probably already have LOL)
Please play the mk 1 again. I'll at last be unlocking it soon and I'd love to see you play it
bro, that shot at the Mig-23 was such a massive "lol fuck you" hahaha!! xD
Type 10 revisit. Or leclerc with new turret traverse speed
Just need a armor buff and it will be a fun tank :3
Ya that turret is pathetic
With this new update I feel like the sounds are to quite or don't work at certain distances like close range. Its almost like you have to look in the direction of the enemy to even hear them and when the soun ds do work they all play at the same volume at the same time like one big audio orgey.
I had a 2S38 and a fucking T62 of all things, sneak up on me 20m away. Because there were 3 leopards next to me.
FYI: External fuel tank fires won't let you repair
Merkavas are so much fun now. Iam actually enjoying the israeli tree now. It also seems iam bouncing more round than before, i usually died 1shot , now it takes a while to kill me in a merkava.
Big maps just need a big game mode.
They should add the Merkava hull IFVs. Others get their modern IFVs.
As an Israeli main and lover of the merkava’s seeing this video puts a smile on my face
Res Desert is great for helis
4:58
phew XD
They need to balance F-in leclerc's
hi you should try the french vbci. he has a bug that allows him to have 150 ammo in the ammo rack
Just remember me paperdart cargo port😈
reload speed is the same it was when they got released, but it uses the same gun, more space, yet reloads slower than a ambrams
OMG I am in Justin's video!
justin, how do you un-lock the mavericks?
How do you lower your aim? 3:00
how do you un-lock atgm on kurnass?
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...
merkava do not have 6 second reload in real life, its way longer.
i have now read the documents from a operator-
Do u know when the new merkava the barak 4/merkava 5 will came out?
Its not really relevant to war thunder since there is no difference at the armor
@@ziv.k7666 But there is crazy technology in it
@@thecorason6286 i know but war thunder is already 3rd person so it doesn't matter
They ar anchor tank obj defensive if u used them right
I still hope for something for Italy
Me too, kid. Me too.
For some reason in my hands Merkavas at 11.3 are way better than the top one. I just can't thake the hold of it i guess, but damn i love my 4B
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.
Years ago players fight hulldown merkava be like : oh nooo
Today players fight hulldown Merkava be like : what is armour?
Mk.4 series, at least LIC should get armor buff on turret, these tanks cant hulldown with peace anymore. Image u have to cautious your gunner and commander will incapacitated than your gun
the he shells are goofy af
Being smoked by 105mm RPGs,, really good tank💀💀
just spent $160 in gaijin store enjoy your 3% my friend!
so changes in merkava are only these two rounds in the front?
Nah, they buffed the reload speed. I don’t remember if it’s 5 sec now ACE (was previously 6.7) or if it was buffed to NATO standard 120, which is 6 sec. Either way, good change.
@@Goldenwing117 It is 6 seconds aced. The same as every other Non-Abrams NATO reload.
Is it just me, or are all the Russian main battles tanks super quiet? Literally had a t72 drive 10 feet away from me and I didn't hear him at all.
They need to make all modern tanks as accurate as possible and balance them by changing br instead of how it performs
Ariete (P) at 8.0 😅
the turret speed alone makes this merkave completely balanced... wtf its even faster than british adats turret-.-....
a bigger Ariete
Basically seeing how DM33 and 3BM42 can over penetrate you frontally.
So all you need is a good reload and a Shell with 400 mills of pen.
Realy describes toptier and the nonexistence of armor.
#no side armor
Turret armor needs to be fixed and buffed. That’s all that’s left. Please gajin, please buff the turret armor
Abrams?
I shot the mk 4 with 5 hellfires and it didnt do any damage
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.
Usually Merkava hard to kill
Only if you're not used to shooting them.
That's a main layer of defence for the Merkava.
@@panzerlite8108 The dart just go trough them front wise and only take a crew as front engine blocking the spall
Wish gaijin would give us an option to transfer the Merk 3D to the Israel tech tree instead of having it in the American tech tree.
Tech Tree 3D and a Mark 3 LIC would both be nice.
Now we have the Raam Sagol
@@K1ng_Rat I aint paying 70 dollars for a Merkava 3D when I've already finished the tech tree.
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"
Let's talk about how those merkava's in the murican tree should've been in the UK tree before they added Israel as Merkava development is related to Chieftain, let's also talk about how the Israeli premium centurion moved over but all those murican merkavas didn't...
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
finally the Merks are some better, now i hope they buff the armour, i know thats still ass. day 19 of asking friend Justin to play the HKP9.
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.
ItO 90M when?
how to cyber bully russian tech tree? Reverse
2000mm armour Russian log😂
I don't know how Gaza mengering to destroy the Merkavas.
They're not. It's HAMAS propaganda.
The only ones disabled took a lot of effort and the vehicles can easily be repaired. HAMAS cannot do enough damage to one quick enough to put it out completely.
I think now Merkava is better than T90M. Better reloading, no armor but better survivability, better APFSDS, reverse, APS...
T90M in WarThunder: i am best tank in game!
T90M irl: I CAN'T SEE, they destroy all my optics
bradleys are in trees!!! 💀
@austinteal3645 Apparently I compared it with the Merkava because the Merkava is the best tank in the game?
The best leopard in the game is Leopard 2, which is destroyed in the real world after a glance from a Russian soldier. The T90M is the worst 11.7 tank in the game, but in real life 2 drones and 2 Bradleys were unable to destroy it. 🫵🤡
The merkava’s HE is very op rn, u just shoot the road wheel of the Russia tanks and u will see that u can one shot it 😂
It's not just right now. It's been like that.
Spookston just found it.
Bro the israeli voices are cool ngl
Red desert is shit, only use SPA on it. There is only 1 playable mode on it IMO, with caps on the hills.
merkava need armor
Why remove comments
Because I don't enjoy political comments on my videos.
Well whats funny that they can be blown up by Hamas, home made RPG-s. So they are not that good at all. So they changed them more unreal.
Rpg Can destroy any tank lol
Sadly Gajin is able to completely destroy the game once again. The sounds are sooooo bad und silent right now. The game is currently not playable for me. Also nerfing the Italien tech tree this hard that it isnt even realistic is def a no go for me .
Day 4 asking to play m60 AMBT
Israel shouldnt have been its own tree, but i love the merkava's, i'd take my Mk3D over a Shitbrams any day. Also the fact that the only good 9.0-9.3 vehicles USA has are Israeli is depressing.
Day 5 asking to play m60 AMBT
Justin is it worth it to get the premium CV90105?
quite
It's fragile, but hits hard and fast.
Happy accidents ended nerfimg merkava by accident 😂
Hi
Starstreaks are so dogshit now it's so frustrating lol
Day 6 asking to play m60 AMBT
105 Merk is 8.7, 120 is faster....
The first Merkava series is a 9.3 and 9.0 in RB.
Merkava armor is best against chemical warhead not KE so i think they didnt buff the armor is quite accurate to reality (i guess lol)
Except not. You're confusing it with the Magach. Merkava is designed specifically to maximize survivability and armor protection against KE round after the disaster in the Yom Kippur war, where most of Israel tank's lost were due to APFSDS round.
Justin you think the Americans getting the best merkava mk3 is weird.
Others have spikes before Israel does. Even though the saraph can fire them
Yes the MK3D is the best mark 3
France.....
Buff merkavas but nerf italians.... BRUUUUUUUUUUUUUH...
buff the challys 🤦♂americans get 5 second reaload for 18 round and they have better armour, whats the point of the chally 2s 🤦♂
Imagine, being a Russian main and having the only MBTs in the game can have magic non detonating ammo in tightly packed carousels. 11:50 is the exact reason I stopped caring about this trash game, Gaijin is so clearly Russian biased I would rather play World of tanks which somehow doesn't have that level of bullshit despite wargaming being a actual Russian company.
As a Israel main, this seems quite an issue, but i don't see it that often, in fact i saw it only once on a german t72, while i was playin ussr
13:35 min. The awesome is it counts .. the probleme is, the shot was not safe , and it gets to a dart destroyed airplane only by crashing down ⭐🦾
