Im excited for the Israeli tanks, I know a lot will be copy paste with upgrades or minor changes, but a lot of the designs still add a new flavor to an old vehicle and I have personally never played any of the merkavas.
I have seen so many Merkavas at 9.0 now, every game has a merkava and the pack jet too, they are so easy to kill but they always get their revenge kills with their jets
I love setting them on fire 3 times I deliberately destroy the gun first then just set them on fire lol.. Most of the time they rage quit XD, God they hate me, but they just forget that the first thing we see is the engine block, its why IN GAME engines at the front are terrible IDEA'S but IRL it serves a good purpose.
@@superbattledroid1862 Well even IRL crews are kind of mad the Tank gets disabled in the first shot as the Tank still has no ERA or composite and well trained tank crews can disable the entire tank in 1 shot, so yeah it's not a good idea In-game or IRL, atleast they live
@@superbattledroid1862 lol sure if ur hit just imobilises the tank, but he can shoot back Sure it happend to me alot of times when im driving around corners that i get fucked due to the engines, but in generall its a pretty good thing ingame imo
@@KleinerGrenadier Well it’s bad because most maps are city or CQ maps so almost every game you’re screwed. Also that’s why I always hit the cannon first, it’s a top tier tactic and very effective. Then the 3 fires begin 🤣. And it’s always so easy cause again all the inexperienced people have bought the premium.
I just bought this vehicle on Friday night and I am really loving it. I love how fun this vehicle is and how well this vehicle can go in its br. I almost got 2 nukes with it. And also Merkava and A4E combo is really a good choice. As u've said there are really unexperienced players. I was dealing with 4 tanks, got 2 tanks and there were 2 left. And there was a Merkava on the other side of the building and I thought he was flanking but he drove pass and died lol
*not me having this tank as a pfp lol* This tank is extremely good if you know how to use it, but can be rather unforgiving if you don’t use it correctly, as is true with pretty much every tank. In my experience, I think I’ve had the most fun in this game playing this tank, it’s incredibly survivable too. If you’re new definitely do not buy this tank, if you’re experienced I highly reccomend
Glad I am playing France 7.0/Italy 6.7 right now and am not in the 9.0 BR bracket right now. Farming them sounds nice and all but one-spawners annoy the hell out of me
Yup it’s not a finished tank though even the armor modules aren’t fixed some are still at 0,and the round is pretty bad for it’s tier it penetrates sometimes but not always you have to aim at weak spots but overall the tank once finished will be better hopefully they listen to us about our complaints for the new round then it gets a new BR and maybe a new round but who knows we will just have to wait for now.
Why focus on a level 50 crew? just put it all into repair and reload time, thats what is the most important and i don't think you will even get level 20 from that
@@DeffinitlyNotFBI Tank driving yes, targeting depends on the tank and your playstyle and leadership is a complete waste of points unless you have all the other skills maxed out since it gives the lowest reward for the highest price.
I like to call myself an experienced player, but I still don't really deal with merkavas at all so I'm not confident shooting at them. Also, you said you don't like making too many talking head videos, but I personally like them almost more than the gameplay. Keep it up! might even give oxy a run for his money with the talking head format 👀
I can never best the Oxy, though I don't enjoy making many talking head videos, as I believe at times I find myself misinformed, and being wrong In a video about a game based off "Historical" accuracy is a big, BIG no no.
Reading the comments everyone is unsatisfied with the merkava it doesn’t have much armor and such well let me tell you something I bought the merkava mk 2D and it’s literally overpowered as fuck man I’m bouncing shells left and right and killing the whole lobby I truly recommend this tank
I'm loving my merkava it's a treasure to me sure it's early but I play it like nuts and to me as it's one of my most fav tanks in the world I'm a very happy gamer even if it was crap or great Dosent matter to me I just wanna play my fav tanks :)
I will be getting the tank but I disagree with the 3 spawns with it 😐 that really unbalances the game and lots of people want it to get a Br rise (Despite 2B being 9.0 too) I want it purely for its survivability as apart from the TURMs and to a lesser extent XM-1 all the Top Tier premiums are very squishy.
only 332 MM of pen with you APFSDS, 2D would get hit realllllly bad at higher BR, i think its just that people dont know where to shoot it yet, all they have to do is shoot just bellow the gunenr sight and it killed the commander and gunner
Darn you Justin! my name was clearedsol and I was just in ur game and you just clutched the game for your team by the nuke! GG. love your vids! god you carried them
I want to buy one of the Israeli vehicles before the full tech tree is released but I don't know which one to buy the Merkava or the m-51. which one would you recommend Justin?
i dont think thsi thing is hurting the game, people just arent used to fighting it, LEARN and dont bitch about it, i used to bitch about Leos all the time until i figured out where to not shoot them, its a skill issue, not a tank issue
are there even any merkava versions left for the standard tech tree ? and if so let me guess, they are all inferior to the premium / event ones right ? ... ye exactly what i would expect from gajin
i wish the 3 percent thing worked for console players. Even now that ive moved to pc i still cant access the marketplace or anything else from my profile.
I'm planning on selling the event vehicles to pick up the Merkava close to the next update. It's what I did with the Israeli A-4E as well. Getting a free lineup with my favourite plane and one of my favourite tanks is awesome. All it cost me was my soul, but I wasn't using it anyway.
Id get up tired alot and fight M1a2 Abrams and ZTZ96A it’s hilarious watching the Abrams and ZTZ fire at you and it bounce and you watch them back up in fear
See I don’t mind these at 9+ cause it’s actually pretty darn squishy, BUT I keep seeing this thing get downtiered as far low as 7… which is not fun at all.
@@jPlanerv2 and u dont shoot the chieftans in the turret it has a completely pennable front plate and lower plate not to mention no thermals shit round and its slow as balls . no way in hell these are the same br
Chieftain mark 10s stillbrew armour laughs at 3bm42 mango rounds, its also got a 120mm gun. In a hull down position the Mark 10 is extremely tough to kill. The only tank with comparable turret armour is the T64a which doesnt have the gun depression Chief mk10 does. The Merkava 2B is 9.0 and the Mark 1 is 8.7.

Merkava 2D has 3 spawns
take it to a lvl 55 crew, that's when you get the expert qualification.
It's supposed to have the m426 round (equivalent to dm63).
The m111 is old and wasn't used anymore by the time the D model arrived.
Yup it’s not a finished tank though even the armor modules aren’t fixed some are still at 0,and the round is pretty bad for it’s tier it penetrates sometimes but not always you have to aim at weak spots but overall the tank once finished will be better hopefully they listen to us about our complaints for the new round then it gets a new BR and maybe a new round but who knows we will just have to wait for now.
Hey wait a second, that was me, I saw myself, I was the rooikat on your team on middle East , I was helping the repairs of another merkava
Hey justin! Just wondering if u could do a revamp on the CV9015 I would definitely appreciate it 😎
Looks very cool, but that’s about it.

Its a merkava mk2b but better essentially
