Halting of Heavy Tank Developments
Leo 2 the armor god what's new
so by your retarded standards all the Stuarts were not even tanks unless you count its front armor plate over the transmission which makes it a medium, the luchs was also not a light tank ether, the Chaffee and T70 are medium tanks, the Pershing is a medium tank, (fair enough, it was reclassified as one after the war) the churchill was a medium tank, the Tiger was a medium tank, the Tiger 2 was a medium tank… You get the idea on how stupid that is now right?
Ok now I know you really are just a fucking leaf.
What the hell kind of super-metal can in any practical way equal 7 METERS of steel?
It also has a crew hatch in it's ass because it can carry troops too. Which I'm sure isn't a weak point and also protects against ATGMs
By those standards you could fit a whole platoon in any regular AFV.
Well it does say
but I'm sure it's still a tight squeeze.
Jews tend to be of rather small stature.
Still it looks more like an emergency rescue thing rather than standard procedure.
I imagine the plan is is you have a section cut off and getting fucked on you can get a Merkava to ditch their ammo and quickly race in and out to extract them.
Three or four stretchers for wounded men, with an extra one or two medics in the turret to make look after them.
Anyone more than that is "this episode of future weapons"-tier.
