The EE-T1 Osorio is a modern Brazilian main battle tank developed by Engesa in the 1980s. It was designed to meet both the requirements of the Brazilian Army and the export market, incorporating advanced technology and firepower for its time.
Primary Weapon: GIAT CN120-25 G1, providing excellent firepower and penetration.
Secondary Weapons: 7.62 mm coaxial machine gun and a 12.7 mm anti-aircraft machine gun for additional firepower against infantry and low-flying aircraft.
Engine: 1040 hp diesel engine, allowing for a maximum road speed of 70 km/h and excellent off-road capabilities.
Suspension: Hydropneumatic suspension system providing a smooth ride and enhanced mobility over rough terrain.
Fire Control System: Advanced fire control system with laser rangefinder and thermal imaging, enabling accurate targeting and firing in all weather conditions.
Crew: 4-man crew
Possible BR: 9.7-10.0
It would perform similar to the AMX-40 in Combat.
I couldn’t find much about it’s armor but it does use composite armor.
There’s a problem with the reload rate which it’s pretty low compared to other MBTs in the same BR (11.3 to 11.7). Merkava actually features a semi-autoloader, the loader can select semi-automatically the ammunition type. The tank carries 48 rounds of ammunition each stored in a protective container. An electrically operated revolving magazine contains ten ready-to-fire rounds.
With the Semi-autoloader and a trained crew it’s estimated of a 5 to 5,5 second reload rate every shot, while in the game it’s about 7.8 seconds to 6 seconds ACED crew which is not accurate to the real function of Merkava. It’s pretty much about 6.5 seconds to 5 seconds ACED with the semi auto-loader working. ← Mk. 4 in General ← The system is located in an isolated space of the turret and is designed to protect the crew in case of ammunition explosion.
Merkava is also lacking the use of LAHAT, LAHAT (Laser Homing Attack) is an accurate lightweight missile, homing-in on a laser spot and has a Tandem heat warhead. It has a ground launch range of 8 km and it’s estimated to have speed of ~285-300 m/s.
It has maximum penetration of 800mm which is easily balanced for the game scenario.
