DRG,

In the site posted on page one there is a section on the history of the Merkava. The propaganda issue is valid to an extent. When the MkI was first shown to the public 10 troops came out the back and the Israelis bragged about their tanks versitility. A short while later they said it could not carry troops. After 2006 and the conflict in Lebanon they again admitted thet troops could be caried. This back and forth and the Israelis being in an almost constant state of war makes research on the Merkava difficult at best. Much of the interior of the Merkava is still classified.

On the Tanknet website under Tank videos there is a 38 to 40 second video taken by a member of the inside of a old Merkava tank. It's not of great quality. When he gets to the rear of the vehicle you can plainly see 12 empty main gun ammo containers lining the rear compartment. They are stacked 2 deep and 3 high on each side of the hull. The man with the camers has no trouble moving between the stacked ammo boxes to exit the rear door of the vehicle.

This video can be found on Tanknet in the AFV forums under tank videos. It's in the first post on page 2. posted by Zakk.

Dial up stinks. I had it for the longest time and it realy limits your options.

I'm glad to hear that the AI works ok with this option in play. I only tried it in human played mode.
