I think it would be very cool to see them on merkavas

Just as to say every merkava (except for the mk1) and the namer use this method

Namer’s is already modelled, they have no excuse not to give them to Merkavas

Then I missed it on the namer
The question is if the chains actually do something

7

Even the Mk. Is had them.
The physics of swinging chains, even if they are all linked together as one object is computationally heavy. I’m not surprised they aren’t modelled.

8

They are to pre-detonate shaped charges and prevent satchel charges/grenades from being thrown under the turret bustle overhang.

9

I meant if they do something in game

10

Got pictures of the mk1 with chains ?

Well, with Gaijin… who knows…
