I know basically nothing about tanks. Is the Merkava a good tank? What do you think of these comments?
The Merkava does not seem like a well built tank. It looks like they made it entirely of the exhaust port from the Death Star. Every Hamas video involving the Merkava is just a completely unescorted tank getting reverse 360 windmilled dunked. How many of these things have they lost?
If you tandem fire rpgs you can get a mobility kill on almost any tank. The US Army isn’t stupid enough to fight like this.
It seems like a really basic strategy to not do this exact thing

I just had an obvious realization considering who the account belongs to. I don’t know if either of them know anything about tanks either. Maybe they don’t and their “knowledge” comes from video games. It’s not criticism. It’s just funny.
Tanks in general excel at projecting power across a big area without a lot of cover, not rolling through an urban environment. There’s a lot of hack armchair general video game ideas out there but this one has been figured out since World War 2, when everybody started out with a bunch of specialized tanks for different roles, but by the end of the war they all figured out that making one good medium tank was the best way to go because everything else they were trying to do with them was a waste of time.
