Merk Tank Suggestion

[USMCMIDN]

Get rid of the ability to have passengers... IRL idt they have passenger capacities. At least when I was in Israel and personally saw and watched the Merks in action they did not have this feature on them.

or am I missing something ? ? ?

Following the model of contemporary self-propelled howitzers, the turret assembly is located nearer the rear than in most main battle tanks. This gives the crew additional protection against a frontal attack by putting the engine between them and the attack. This arrangement also creates more space in the rear of the tank that allows increased storage capacity, as well as a rear entrance to the main crew compartment allowing easy access even under enemy fire. This allows the tank to be used as a platform for medical disembarkation, a forward command and control station, and an armoured personnel carrier. The rear entrance's clamshell-style doors provide overhead protection when off- and on-loading cargo and personnel.

You are in fact, missing something.

Merkava Mk.4 Main Battle Tank | Military-Today.com

The Merkava Mk.4 has a crew of four, including commander, gunner, loader and driver. Furthermore it can transport eight troops or three stretcher casualties in place of the ammunition load. Troops enter and leave the vehicle threw the rear hatch.

The Merkava can carry passengers if you study up on it at all with whats available on the internet. You will find that a Merkava can sacrifice ammo storage for passenger space. I believe its something like 12 or 15 rounds per person. With a max of 5 people inside the vehicle.
Since PR is fought in a fictional war we cannot assume the Israelis wouldn't use this feature in certain situations that would arise. So just because it may not be something you see all the time right now in Israel doesn't mean we should write it off.
Plus we have plenty of military advisors familiar with Israeli weapons systems and how they are used. Trust me we've got our bases covered.
