One of these is mounted on the Puma (7.62mm mg).
Also I would like to know if the 60mm Soltam mtr will be included?
This mtr is mounted on many IDF vehicles. The older version is loaded from the outside of the vehicle. The newer longer ranged version mounted on the Merkava IV and Namer APC are loaded and fired from inside the vehicle. Its main purpose is to take out RPG and MG teams at long distance. From the little that is out there the Soltams mounted in tanks and apcs is equiped with 30 rounds of ammo, mostly HE though other types are carried.
The Puma mounts the externaly loaded version but they may have been updated to the newer one.
Just wondering?
RWS in the game is represented by typically a TMG or CMG, with perhaps night sights and better RF and FC. If you can point out which units use this, and the in-service dates and other supporting information then we can do that.

The 60mm tank mortars are subsumed in the smoke dischargers. In any case - there are insufficient weapon slots to put those onto tanks as a separate HE weapon.
