Re: Metis-M & Kornet AT Missiles vs. Merkava Tanks
Yes...sadly the 'Battle of the Saluki' as it is called, refers to seemingly spontaneous 'tactical' orders...as confusing as they sound, to the IDF to move in and halt: then move in again, all the while, the advance's adversaries set up a strong defense. In real terms, the IDF got nailed. Still, out of the thousands of ATGMs fired, apparently, only less than two dozen actually penetrated armor. Great tank, bad orders. So...
Try this, create a scenario where the ATGMs are in the higher elevations, and the Merkavas advance from below. Do not forget the forward, side, rear, and especially top trajectories. Actually, add any modern tank into the action and see what happens. This game engine appears to be quite truthful in the results.
Many individuals are no longer due to conflicts depicted in steel panthers. This recent conflict is no different. Perhaps, try to refer to this while playing, and be truthful to your actions. I can not go further...the lose of life sits heavily upon my soul...as it should all of us.
