another one :http://tank-net.org/forums/lofiversi...17143-950.html

most interesting is DADI's response (for more info look in the link) :

"You take that if 1 crew member killed, then the other 3 survived. What if there were another 6 crew members? What if a tank suffered multiple hits? What about hits that did not penetrate, but the TC was standing on the hull?

The true figures are that on all types of Merks (BTW - This list has at least one mistake) - less than one KIA for every ATGM PENETRATION. If you exclude older models, and focus on the Merk 4 (which was attacked exclusively by heavy and mostly with tandem, ATGMs), than for every PENETRATION you have 0.6 KIA.
Only half the ATGM PENETRATIONS resulted with fatal injuries. There is one Battalion Co who took 2 Kornets (front hull, side turret - non penetrated) and while standing top out, suffered injuries. He already took his job back..."

JaM, Thanks for this. We may need to look at Merk Armour values at some point.

Impressive picture, top-hull armor is very week (5 cm max), sad for the guy who was driving the merkava.
