Hi,

Is the Merkava tank featured in the game ?

Many thanks.

Yes it is, two variants to be precise [:)]

Merkava troops play a significant role for instance in this DAR here: tm.asp?m=3929704

Thanks for your info.

Merkava my favoutite tank, so good to see it in the game.

Quite the challenge to be facing them. Here's a recent pic of the latest turn on our Golan'82 What-If. That's some 40 T-55s and T-72s burning together with some 23 Merkavas, the latter mostly victims to my everpresent Milan teams.



The pic is with the latest CS:ME 1.01 release candidate 2D graphics and with the Black Unit Profiles Mod in place.

Why do we see multiple listings for the same weapon in the unit viewer, such as with the Merkava above? Any that I've looked at in detail seem to have the same info.

Their strength points are different.

Yes, to build higher level organizations such as companies battalions and so forth, they all consist of platoons right. So to have a certain company with 3 Merkava platoons and another one with 4 Merkavas, with possibly some command AFVs represented as single Merkavas, they all need their unique Platoon ID to be used within these higher level organizations.

You will see the same with other units too, such as with infantry platoons, where other parameters might vary, so you'd have different rifle platoons for instance portraying veteran, regular and inexperienced units.

Will 1.01 feature the counters with the unit data on them?

Definitely!

Yep, that screenshot was from a quite recent 1.01BETA build. [:)]
