Zucc_Boi 656 Report post Posted November 3, 2022 (edited) Just asked a Merkava 4M gunner about it and he said the driver has cheap thermals (said gen 1 but cannot verify). It can be seen visually here: Spoiler Datasheet: https://elbitsystems.com/media/ELSEC_ITL-DTV.pdf This system was reportedly added before the 4B and 4M became a standard, as said in another forum here (from 2007): https://www.fresh.co.il/vBulletin/showthread.php?t=376405 It's unknown if fitted to Merkava 4A tanks or only added as a standard for 4B, but reportedly tested on some units in 2007. Unfortunately, the source, a magazine called Ba'ma'khane, is not available in a digital format, nor do I have the hard copies.

GalacticFurai 4 Report post Posted November 4, 2022 (edited) So far I've found a few images of the 4B being deployed in Gaza with ELSEC driver thermals posted The model in game does not have it so it seems to be an earlier model of the 4B. Once we gather enough images and sources we should make a historical report on this to (hopefully) have it implemented. Contrasts to earlier 4Bs like the one displayed at Yad LaShiryon that has no ELSEC present Edited November 4, 2022 by GalacticFurai 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
