Default Merkava.

Would it be possible to class the Merkava as a "Gun APC" Unit Class 127, instead of a "MBT" so it could carry some troops? I have tried this and it works fine. Capacity would be 8 men for all versions. The carry capacity in the game should be "8" not "108". We don't want folks stuffing TOW teams or other infantry heavy weapons in this tank. It was ment to carry a rifle team or even just a sniper or two.
Not all Merks carry a 50cal MG. Also this weapon is tied to the main gun and the balistics computer as is the CMG.
All Merks carry one or another version of the 60mm Soltam mtr. This weapon is also tied to the balistics computed. It is said to be very accurate. No Merks in the game have it. Will they?
When sitting "on station" some Merkavas are stuffed with as many as 80 rounds of main gun ammo (120mm)but can carry no troops. Could a version like this be placed in the "MBT" class?
