From another IDF tanker see the photos related to this current discussion scroll down to -1/2 to 3/4+ down these are the best interior shots of the MERKAVA I've seen to date and read the captions please. A very interesting site,
however, to maintain full combat capabilities I'm thinking let's leave well enough alone, Don has struck the right balance here. To further specialize these tanks for combat troop operations would for now take up precious equipment slots. However who here doesn't think I'll revisit this in the 2019/2020 campaign? Well those that answered wrong haven't been paying attention, it's paper filed now as well.
