However, compared to previous models, the Magach 5 incorporates a more capable 105 mm gun with increased firepower. The upgrade however does not include a stabilizer, which can be seen on later Magachs with the Sharir cannon. However, the tank is very much protected against all sorts of HEAT and HE projectiles, as well as early ATGMs like the MILAN that lack tandem warheads. This is because the Magach 5 incorporates Blazer ERA, this is a very early ERA, even weaker than Kontakt-1, so it is not enough to stop APDS and APFSDS projectiles, or even high calibre HEAT projectiles from 120 and 125 mm guns. | ||

Description
The Magach 5 was, at its core, an upgraded American M48A5. The Magach 5 was introduced in Israel after the Yom Kippur War of 1973. After this war, the IDF had to replace several examples of their Magach and Sho't tanks that were lost, especially due to anti-tank weapons like the RPG-2, RPG-7, and Malyutka ATGMs. To address this issue, the IDF adopted the American M48A5 and designated it Magach 5. This version of the tank was also an upgrade of the M48A3, incorporating the 105 mm rifled gun over the 90 mm gun in earlier M48 models. This upgrade was based in part in Israeli experiences with Magach tanks in 1967 and 1973.
It was introduced in Update "Drone Age". The Magach 5 plays like most M48 tanks. However, compared to previous models, the Magach 5 incorporates a more capable 105 mm gun with increased firepower. The upgrade however does not include a stabilizer, which can be seen on later Magachs with the Sharir cannon. However, the tank is very much protected against all sorts of HEAT and HE projectiles, as well as early ATGMs like the MILAN that lack tandem warheads. This is because the Magach 5 incorporates Blazer ERA, this is a very early ERA, even weaker than Kontakt-1, so it is not enough to stop APDS and APFSDS projectiles, or even high calibre HEAT projectiles from 120 and 125 mm guns.

Usage in battles
The Magach 5 is a fairly manoeuvrable MBT but its larger profile makes it easy to spot. The 105 mm Sharir cannon does well at long range shooting, as many tanks in the same BR can be destroyed with a single hit. The Magach 5 fares well in an urban setting with a fairly quick turret traverse and powerful ammo, however it is not the fastest and should have teammates nearby to cover the flanks. The front ammo stowage is the biggest detriment to the tanks survival in a frontal hit, so the ammo count should kept as low as possible. Overall, this tank is just right for most environments with it being most vulnerable to comparable ammo from other Western nations.
Pros and cons
Pros:
- Good firepower
- Decent mobility
- Surprisingly survivable, two crew members often survive a shot
- ERA able to defeat low-end chemical shells
Cons:
- Ineffective armour in an uptier
- No stabilizer
- Ammunition explosions are common as most of the shells are in the front next to the driver
- ERA only effective against chemical shells - only provides 5 mm kinetic protection
