General information

The Merkava Mk.3C was the second subvariant of the Merkava Mk.3. Produced from 1995, it received the new "Barak Zoher" fire control system, distinguished by the inclusion of a commander-independent sight on the turret roof. This addition gives the Merkava Mk.3C hunter-killer capabilities, a trait desperately needed in modern conflict. Other small upgrades, such as the insertion of composite screens into portions of the hull, were also implemented, mostly to defend the tank from RPGs and ATGMs launched from elevated positions.

Introduced in Update "Drone Age", the Merkava Mk.3C received yet another important upgrade: the commander's independent sight. With the addition of hunter-killer capabilities, players can search for possible adversaries while remaining behind low obstacles and rocky terrain. Furthermore, the commander can override controls for the main gun, allowing players to engage opponents more effectively. Together with the Merkava Mk.3B's improved weaponry, the Merkava Mk.3C is a truly modern main battle tank that combines outstanding situational awareness, protection, and firepower.
