Merkava tank focuses on crew survivability. It makes no sense that Gaijin put 2 shells right behind the engine. The Merkava Mk4 has a mechanized shell loader that is located in the turret close to the crew, why would they make a specific fireproof shell box containing just 2 shells when its not needed? seeing messed up things just blows my mind up like for real this is not realistic, your game is focusing on reality but i don’t see any reality here I know its a game but things like that are just messed up. Please pay attention and fix it.

As for the two frontal shell - just take 11 (10 first stage + 1 loaded)
Merkava gunner here, the 2 shell containers exist in the tank. However, and this needs to be noted, i have never encountered a single Merkava whos TC ordered to place rounds there. This space is mostly used (in wartime) for food, drinks, toilet paper etc… this should’t be a problem ingame because if i remember correctly they changed the order in which ammo is being placed when choosing the amount of shells, so if you select below 44 rounds, there shouldnt be ammo in the 2 single containers behind the engine.

Makes you wonder why they even a thing, I doubt 4 extra shells would do anything. In any case, if you say they changed the load order (I dont have Merkava, so cant confirm) then the thread can be closed
