Re: Merkava.
This and the above videos show troops leaving the rear compartment from a view inside the tank. First man out has a LMG, last man out has a radio set. Enjoy!

No seat and you can't stand either, being confined for prolonged lenght of time in such a fashion has been used as a form of light torture in the past. Any cross country movement along broken terrain will be a preview of hell.
I can see the value of that for driving 300 meters up to the next building while every Ahmed in town is taking pot shots with a RPG-7.
Using it as a regular APC? Forget about it.  |

Re: Merkava.
A sad Merkava-related not:
Maj. General Israel Tal died today, a week before his 86th birthday.
May he rest in peace.

Re: Merkava.
Maj. General Israel Tal had a hand in the development of two other tanks, the XMBT-70 and the M1 Abrams. A true visionary.

Re: Merkava.
Marek-Tucan,
While the Israelis use this tactic in the 1982 conflict it was not as wide spread as in the 2006 conflict.
As far as the game is concerned the longest scenario is 90 turns long. If the time elapsed per turn is 2 to 5 minutes then we are only talking about 3 to a max of a little over 7 hrs of real time. Putting troops in the back of a Merkava for this amount of time is not outside the scope of human endurance.
The videos show them practicing the deployment of infantry from the rear of this tank. Why practice something if its not intended to be used in battle?
EDIT: Achzarit has a 3 man crew and carries 7 infantry.
