-Following the Merkava Mk.3 design and its improvements, the Merkava entered its fourth generation iteration by upgrading most aspect of the tank, particularly in the crew's ability to observe and react to changing scenarios outside the tank. The Merkava Mk.4 began development in the late 1990s and there were component upgrades like a new fire-control system and hunter-killer system for the commander and gunner, the loader has access to a new 10-round revolving magazine for the ready rounds, modular composite armour is added on all sides, and a more powerful engine. However, the biggest change was upgrades to the electronic systems within the tank, with the computerization allowing each crew station to have screens for information management and observation screen. The commander themselves have access to a battle management system that allow communication of information across different units. This new Merkava Mk.4B would come into service in 2004, and slowly became the primary main battle tank of the Israel Defense Force, gradually replacing the older Mark II and Mark III in service.

-Introduced in [[Update "Wind of Change"]], the Merkava Mk.4B is one of the most recent subvariants of the Merkava main battle tank. With up to 800-1,200 mm of protection on the turret front with its non-explosive reactive armour (NERA), it can effectively resist even hits from anti-tank guided missiles (ATGMs). Overall, the Merkava Mk.4B is well protected against high explosive anti-tank (HEAT) warheads. However, despite engine improvements, the Merkava Mk.4B becomes progressively heavier, reducing its mobility in comparison to main battle tanks from other nations.

-The '''Merkava Mk.4B''' is the first subvariant of the Merkava Mk.4, which is the fourth variant of the [[Merkava (Family)|Merkava main battle tank family]]. Merkava Mk.4 development began in 1999, and production began in 2004. The development of this variant was reported in October 1999 through the issue of the military newspaper Bamachaneh ("At the Camp"). The Merkava Mk.3 was, nonetheless, still in production until 2003. The Merkava Mk.4 features removable modular composite armour, which has been employed on all sides, including the top, with a V-shaped belly armour pack for the underbelly. This modular system is intended to allow damaged tanks to be repaired quickly and returned to action. Due to the thinner rear armour, chains with iron balls are attached to interfere with projectiles before they contact the main armoured hull. The Merkava Mk.4B is a subvariant that has improved sensors and virtual reality vision capabilities, allowing crews to see the whole battlefield while remaining inside the tank. Furthermore, it is the world's first tank with a smart mission computer that supervises the tank's tasks. This superior artificial intelligence technology minimizes the workload of the crew, particularly the tank commander. It also aids in target identification and accuracy. This system is linked to a battle management system.

 The Merkava is not a small tank by any metric, being very wide and tall. This makes you a big target for enemies.
 The Merkava is strongly protected against HEAT with up to 800-1,200 mm of protection on the turret front, and the UFP having enough protection with its NERA and engine and transmission blocks to stop a Kornet in its tracks.
 However, KE protection may be somewhat lacking with average KE protection on the turret front averaging about 450-550mm of KE protection on the turret front and about 350-450mm of protection on the UFP (engine and transmission protection included) which for top tier is not quite adequate.

 The Merkava Merkava performs amazingly at range and can still hold its own in a brawl. It plays somewhat similarly to previous Merkavas requiring a more laid back approach in order to well.
 The Merkava can perform somewhat well in urban combat thanks to its great reaction speed and decent mobility forwards and backwards. However, keep in mind other tanks such as the T-72B3 and T-80BVM will easily outclass you in a brawl so pick your targets wisely.

-The Merkava has arguably some of the best optics for an MBT in-game due to the commanders sight being very high up and with great zoom at 14x max, and great thermals. this will allow you to play as sniper on long range maps with ease as you can play ridges and hills to your advantage.

-Also make sure to keep close attention to your Laser Warning System (LWS) and the direction it is alerting you to. As this will alert you of drones and helicopters and tanks, therefore giving you time to throw smoke and take cover from an ATGM or find the direction of a tank lasing you so you can return fire. A good way to tell if its a either a tank or a helicopter/drone locking you is that helicopter and drone locks will always continuously lock you whereas a tank may only give a short 1-2 seconds alert.
