Israeli tank Commander

[shilka77]

The commander you are asking for sounds like some poor soul from the strategic reserve that used modified WW2 Sherman tanks. Almost 60% of all casualties in the Yom Kippur War were tank commanders I did a search through my Yom Kippur October War book by Simon Dunstan and found one commander named Lt. Zwi Zwicka Greengold for his efforts at the TAP road where he fought for 36 hours even if he was severely wounded he got awarded with the highest of decorations the Ot Hagvura equalling the Victorian Cross.

Another brave commander was one Major Shumel Askarov 53rd battalion that were wounded severely after throw out from his tank after it got hit by tank fire then rescued by paratroopers and returned to the battlefield after a quick patch-up got wounded a second time this time by AK47 bullet to the head was saved by Israeli surgeons and rewarded with the Ot Haoz.

Side-note:

The Egyptian T-62 tank in 1973 October War lacks its 12,7 mm DShK something that maybe could be added in the next patch perhaps? There are movies on You Tube that clearly show this detail on Egyptian T-62 tanks. Maybe something for Patch 5.0.

12.7 mm DShK 1938/46 antiaircraft heavy machine gun (optional until T-62 Obr.1972)

I link the movies where you can see for yourselves.
