A quick question as it's getting close to submitting my first list of recommendations of new equip. etc. for the game.
The MERKAVA 4 has a carry capacity of eight soldiers from several sources and one specifically states "in lieu of ammo supply" which makes sense.
Would it, if it can even be done, be worth it to allow this carry capacity once all the ammo supply is used up? This would happen once the tank is down to it's final ten (Or eleven if you assume one loaded.) rounds which the "revolver" loader holds. A final push to the objective or falling back on defensive positions (Some might call this retreating, I like to think of it as "a reassessment of the tactical situation", yeah you're right retreating!) come to mind. The troops would enter/exit through the rear hatch that was designed for this purpose as well. The MERKAVA 4 is the only one of the type I can find that has this ability, which again makes sense since NAMER is a MERKAVA 4 without the turret.
