General information

The Merkava Mk.2D was the final variant of the Merkava Mk.2. It was equipped with the latest add-on modular composite armour for the hull and turret, quite similar to that of the Merkava Mk.4 variant. Damaged armour could be easily swapped out for new modules even while in combat, while new module upgrades could also be added without requiring significant changes to the tank's fundamental structure.

Introduced in Update "Winged Lions", the Merkava Mk.2D is the most advanced derivative of the Merkava Mk.2. With turret protection comparable to the Merkava Mk.4 variant, the Merkava Mk.2D will undoubtedly shine in the hands of any competent player. In rocky terrain, players will have little issue adopting a hull-down position and making the best use of the tank's low silhouette and fully protected turret to lock down areas of the battlefield against adversaries.
