Merkava Mk. 4H

image

When the IDF trialed Rafael’s TrophyHV APS and Elbit’s Iron Fist APS, it tested both of them on the Merkava Mk.4. This is a Merkava Mk.4A which was used to test the Iron Fist APS. In the end, the IDF chose the TrophyHV as the contract winner, and it proceeded to be mass-produced for the Merkava Mk.4, making the Merkava Mk.4M. While the Iron Fist APS did not see success in the IDF procurement, it obliterated the TrophyHV APS in the export market, whereas the former had been exported to many nations while the latter was barely exported at all.

Ingame, Iron Fist is a much more practical active protection system than TrophyHV. While TrophyHV can intercept incoming ATGMs, Iron Fist can also reliably intercept HEATFS shells and sometimes even disrupt APFSDS shells. Iron Fist also has a superior re-repel time (the time it takes for the APS to re-ready itself after it intercepts a projectile).

Been waiting for this one for a while, it would be such an upgrade given the ability to minimize APFSDS pen at distance (and the current Mk.4M APS bug is making me desire it even more). But I gotta ask, why is everyone nicknaming it the Mk.4H? If anything I feel like it should be dubbed the Mk.4M (Iron Fist) ingame.

That is, so ugly, yet so interesting.

T-34 hull with a T-54 or 62 turret?

Anyway, I’m more interested in the still beautiful ZIL-130 to the left.

Me too, it’s, quite a sad day in Sweden TT. Wish they would give us more regimental skins like that, sadly only the AJS has one.

Didn’t know you got put on account hold, I wouldn’t have pinged you about the bomb stuff if I would have known XD

iirc, this image was taken in Bulgaria, and it was used as a static target.

Yes, sadly is has 30mm instead of the 35mm

8161

Meh, makes little difference to me, it’s got a radar, and high RPM, so it’ll work.

Idk if this was shown yet but here’s a F/A-18E Super Hornet with LITENING Targeting Pod. This will be replacing the legacy AN/ASQ-228 ATFLIR.

Haha no it’s good I just got a lil angry about that fake 50% sl nerf before it was confirmed fake, you said everything I would have said about the bombs anyways.

Also Smin said the Di is going to be foldered under the D in the TT as well as premium so that’s nice. Would prefer no premiums with AMRAAMs tho.

Fake 50% sl nerf too?

We are getting airborne (semi-) ESA Radars for the first time and yet the most important addition in that context is still missing.
