My claim on the unmanned turret is based on modern trends seen on IFVs, and also the T-14 MBT.

 

EMBT and XM1299 will have manned turret

M1A2C

Ok, what prevents you from muzzle loading the one on the other merks? Unless you mean muzzle loading only, in which case, no, the Merk 2 mortar can also be loaded from inside the tank, it has all the necessary mechanisms.

 

Yes, only muzzle loading

Merkava 1 has an external mortar.

I believe that particular mortar fitted in the Namer turret is the same one as is in use in the Merk 4, which is slightly different from the one used in the Merk 2 and 3, pictured separately in LoooSeR's post.

Mk.2 and Mk.3 have different mortars.

New version of Iron Fist - three charges.

Purely from a modelling perspective, do you have an image showing the roof of the Ofek, please? It is the only area I don’t have an image of that I may scratch build this in 1/35. Thank you

 

No

New RCWS, but it isn't M1A2C?
