UNIT REQUEST: Merkava Mk. 4 Tank

[IceBlaZe]

Moreover, I think that the fact the Merkava can carry more ammo than other modern tanks (and a lot at that), and also has a 60mm mortar with 3km range, justifies additional attack value.

 

[W.i.n.t.e.r]

Found some stats for the overall performance- unfortunately only for the MK3

Follow Me !!!

 

[IceBlaZe]

Yeah, but there was a significance improvement with the Mk. 4 in all aspects.

 

[IceBlaZe]

So, anyone up to making the unit?

Enough with the European and Russian tanks Smoking Mirror/Kinboat, show some Zionism and make something Israeli!

 

[Nahuixtelotzin]

One of very few times that I completely agree with Israeli argumentation.

 

[Kinboat]

I'd like to help you out but for two small points... First all this arguing has soured my enthusiasm... Second I don't agree with what the Israelies (or the US for that matter) are doing in the world at this time and while I would like to divorce my artistic work from my feelings I find that really hard to do... This is also why I've done few American units, and stuck mostly to the european theater.

 

[IceBlaZe]

Huh?

This is only Civ dude

Anyway if you feel like not making one unit will help your political economical protest be my guest.

I'm not going to ask you something agaist your own wish.

Thought you guys would like to see this. A image of troops rushing out the back of a Merkava.

 

[Kinboat]

I'm not not doing it out of protest... just a general sick feeling i get when I think of the current events. And you might do well to follow your own advice... 'It's only Civ dude' So why all the argument back and forth?

I also have a sick feeling of the current situation.
I have a sick feeling when people explode in pizzerias, and I also have a sick feeling when people say my army should not protect me against people who explode in pizzerias.

Anyway, I'm arguing because I like arguing.
But Israel as a Civ and Israel's current situation are distant things.

Sharon and co. do not represent all of the history of Israel or the Hebrews, and if you think that one nation should be ignored and skipped because of it's current reality it is wrong.

 

[Kinboat]

I didn't imply that you shouldn't be able to defend yourself... I'm disagreeing with the way the Israeli Army is going about it... And I never said it should be skipped I merely responded to your request (you named me specificly in the post) and mentioned why I wouldn't be doing it.

 

[IceBlaZe]

I'm disagreeing with the way the Israeli Army is going about it...

And what way is that?
Do you know a better way?

 

[Civ Commando]

I dont think that the current way Sharon is going about it is right, but he has no other alternative. They have tried peace talks, and obviusly that has not worked at all.

Excuse me Gentlemen, but I cannot but help noticing that this obsolete argument is ravaging through various threads now, with childish "mine-is bigger-than-yours" and "I-know-better-than-U-possibly-could-how-dare-you-challange-my-view-of-the-world" arguments (which unfortunatly don't hold water in some cases- and I am not going to cite every little detail so as not to prolong this). Could everybody please stick to the issues this forum is about, and not global politics- I have my own opinion about this rather sad topic but I am swallowing it down as I type. I myself have studied politics for eight years now and spend significant time reading between newspapers lines every day to get a real picture of the "damages" on our lovely planet- lets not make that poison our game- after all, that is what it is all about, init ???

 

[Civ Commando]

I agree with W.I.N.T.E.R, we should stop talking polotics. I have seen what can happen when people disagree on political subjects,sadly, in my own family. So we should just drop the subject at hand.

 

[Kinboat]

I'm dropping it now...

 

[Nahuixtelotzin]

Gimme Mercava or gimme death! It's the last of 15 UUs for my modpack. Please, someone make it!

 

[pi8ch]

I'm happy that the uneccesary politics-discussion is over now...


I hope that someone will make the Merkava!

just because i think more different tanks would be interesting!

 

[Boulboulgadol]

Here my first coming out in that forum.

As I red it, I was hoping at the end to find THE Merkava unit to put in my game. But I didn't !!

I downloaded the scenario and saw the classic modern armor renamed Merkava. As long as no good-graphic-styler-israeli has done our dear home made tank, I perfectly understand why IceBlaZe did it so.

So, I thought we could make this little cheat more realistic. As far as I know, israeli tanks have a sort of yellow V painted on. Why don't go on using the modern armor with this unique change ? Just to wait for the real Merkava.

Something like this

!OOPS ! I made a mistake !!
