This article here goes into some depth for the whole gun. The reason why many assume the gun was for air to air roles is due to pilot testimony, but it was something already under consideration for primarily aie to ground usage. With the gun pod on the F-4C it had no syncing to the gun sight as the sight was originally designed for aiming missiles, rockets, and bombs, which made it difficult to aim the gun at ground targets and even more difficult to aim at air targets. There is also testimony that for air to ground operations a flight commander did not want his wing operating the centerline gunpod as it tool up valuable space for bombs

Hope it’s not a bother, but is there somewhere I can ‘ask’ why the Namer weighs 64 tons? Don’t get me wrong, I’m not an expert at tanks or, in general, warfare vehicles, but according to different some sources (official and unofficial) the hull comes from the Merkavas. The Merkavas 1/2/3/4 weigh 61/63/65/65 tons respectively (besides the Mk 4M which weighs half a ton more). Taking into account that the Namer is 64.4 tons, (unless they added more armor/weight) this would mean that the turret of the Merkavas weigh 1 ton give or take. Now, I’m approaching this with common sense rather than with sources all over the place, but a turret can’t weigh ‘only’ 1 ton as unarmored as it might be. So I wanted to ask if there’s a reason (different components and all of that) it is true that I haven’t taken the 30 mm gun into account but I’m quite sure it doesn’t weigh the same as a turret made of steel alloys and much bigger with armoured parts. Thanks and do have in account that I’ve taken this with common sense rather than any reliable sources one might get. I just want to understand the reason of the assigned weigh.
I hope this post doesn’t sound aggressive but if it does, I’m truly sorry.
Edit: Thought about it, instead of having to asume the turret weighs 1 ton, it’s half a ton if we assume the Merkava 3/4’s hulls as the foundation of the Namer.

Not for me. For me that is not Friday half the time. They do things by UTC. Which in my case I always see them later.
