The Merkava 4 MBT

Yes in game we could do very little to simulate this.First SP2 had for example all armor values stated for 30° protection, butthis at the other side punnish all differently constructed tanks as Merkava. Maybe lowered side armor is the way...

As i said, my english is not pefect, so i have tendency to ovesimlify things.Sorry for that.

That is why they uparmored Mk3B and Mk2B with 4.th generation passive armor (Dor Dalet versions). Merkava Mk4 has new turret, with much better side protection than early models.
