The Merkava Mk.1 is the first MBT developed and built by Israel for use by its own armed forces. You will be able to get this long awaited famous MBT as one of the main prizes for the American tech tree in the upcoming ”Battlefield Engineer” event!
Briefly: A well protected and mobile Israeli MBT, armed with the powerful 105mm M68 cannon
During the mid 1960s, Israel began researching the possibility of developing and manufacturing a domestically designed tank. The need for such a vehicle became even more emphasized after failed negotiations with Great Britain around the same time led to Israel not being permitted to licence produce the Chieftain MBT. Thus, during the late 1960s official development on a domestic Israeli tank began.
The Israeli tank was primarily designed around combat experiences gained during the Yom Kippur War, resulting in heavy emphasis being put on crew survivability. By 1974, first prototypes of the new “Merkava” tank were constructed and put through initial testing. After nearly a decade of development, the Merkava Mk.1 was adopted for service by the IDF in December 1979 and modernized versions continue to serve with Israeli forces today.
Unlike most other contemporary MBTs, the Merkava Mk.1 features a rather unique design and puts great emphasis on increased crew survivability and firepower, while somewhat lacking in mobility.
Armed with a familiar 105mm rifled cannon, firing the usual selection of NATO ammunition, the Merkava Mk.1 is able to comfortably punch through the armor of most enemies it may face. Designed with crew survivability in mind, the Merkava Mk.1 features a specific armor layout, which, combined with spaces between the armor elements, a spacious interior and specially located ammunition racks, gives the Merkava Mk.1 very good survivability. However, the Merkava Mk.1 weighs an impressive 60 tons and is powered by a 963 hp engine, resulting in rather average mobility with a top speed of 46 km/h forwards and 8 km/h in reverse.
The event Merkava Mk.1 of VI rank represents not only an interesting vehicle, but also a highly effective one as well, the Merkava Mk.1 is a valuable addition to any tanker’s collection, so be sure to get your hands on it and not to miss the ”Battlefield Engineer” event!

WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ITS IN EVENT NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i would have payed 70 dollars for it....
Get ready to pay way more though as soon as it comes on the market place..
War_Gaming_NL, If I get it, I start on market with 100GJn for sale :D
People calm down Brits are getting the ship and if the Merkava wouldn't go to US then US wouldn't get anything and you have to remember that US is 1 of the main nations
THIS^^
Right, but they already have far too much crap for top tier premiums and rares. Britain and France have almost nothing. Even though Britain could be one of the main nations, they deliberately chose to make it not.

Put this in the American tree then bring the Olifnt mk2 for the Britian tree people stop thinking it will go in the Britian tree it is not from commonwealth country it will be better suited for the us tree than the british tree since Isreal and America have the best ties .
You don't know much of history then, do you.
Adargi, Then you tell the histroy clearly before commenting it it should rather stay in the US tree and the Olifant should go in the Britsih tree .
This is really good! I hope it's not nearly impossible to win this wonder! please give us battle tasks that are simple and not extremely complex!
So it's pretty much confirmed now that there will be no Israeli tech tree in the future.

THIS IS GOING TO BE MY FAVOURITE TANK I CAN FEEL IT!
XD *facepalm* Oh well, hopefully you will find it worth it.
Just make a tech tree for Israel then...
Can't wait!
MK.III and MK.IV please too
