re. 3rd MAG on Merkava 4, there appeared a pic of some new Merk 4 modification, which has roof add-on armor re-configured so that loader's hatch can be opened, so I guess it was in order to mount another MG
(Or it may be just case as with M109 Doher - our modeller's magasine once noted that as for accessories etc., anything goes because Israeli crews are very creative in what to mount on their 109's and no two pieces have the same kit )

Israeli tank crew I assure you are not as creative. They might have changed somthing recently to mount the MG(giving it up was dumb anyhow). There were Merkava Mk4 with "laoder hatches" before but they were onl for tank commanders course. was their a seat mounted on the top of the turret? |

IIRC The Roof mounted seat is for instructors during training Exercises. |

Then it is likely an "official" mod - as I understood it, the loader's hatch was in field conditions covered by add-on armor in such a way it was permanently shut, but the pic I am talking about (ah, found the thread: http://208.84.116.223/forums/index.php?showtopic=26241).

Re: Merkava weapons
ok. that is an official mod probably. note the rifle rack on the side that means the loader is supposed to put it there. what that means is the tank was modified so the hatch can be opened. there is however, no 7.62 on the loaders side(or a mount fot that matter), so still only the coax and commanders MGs.
Thats cool, havent seen that yet.
