Maio 293 Posted June 3, 2011 Keep in that in mind - that cargo is badly seen ,because of angle captured pictureand one more thing - can you tell me other reason to have those slide doors? I just realized that I was thinking of a "troop storage" area . Yeah you might be right , that could be a cargo hold . They could carry ammunition in there ...

Brute Force 10 Posted June 3, 2011 Some Russian helicopters have had a small hatch space for the ability to pick up downed pilots. These are not regular troop cargo spaces, the guy has to really squeeze in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Daniel 0 Posted June 3, 2011 My money's on it being a Hind style passenger bay. I'm only expecting it to seat around four troops though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

*LK1* 10 Posted June 3, 2011 question: are you sure that the merkava is also present in the screen showing a mi-28 and ifv? couldn't be the russian black eagle instead of the jewish tank? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maio 293 Posted June 3, 2011 question: are you sure that the merkava is also present in the screen showing a mi-28 and ifv? couldn't be the russian black eagle instead of the jewish tank? Yes , I am positive . The black eagle had the frontal part of the turret shaped like a semi circle . Plus it has that distinctive T-50/60/70/80/90 look from the front .

Brute Force 10 Posted June 3, 2011 question: are you sure that the merkava is also present in the screen showing a mi-28 and ifv? couldn't be the russian black eagle instead of the jewish tank? No, it is clearly the Merkava 4M. But the hind had some troop transporting capabilitys, and some major firepower. My money's on it being a Hind style passenger bay. I'm only expecting it to seat around four troops though. While the Mi-28 is not intended for use as a transport, it does have a small passenger compartment capable of carrying three people. The planned purpose of this is to enable the rescue of downed helicopter crews. The fuselage of the Mi-28 has a bay fitted with a hatch door. The bay can accommodate three people for the rescue of downed friendly air crew. You can see the hatch here under the left engine (scroll through the pictures): http://www.military-today.com/helicopters/mil_mi28_havoc_images.htm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tulx 10 Posted June 4, 2011 (edited) Are you shure that is a Merkava? It shares some of the characteristics, but it definitely doesn't resemble a Merkava MK IV to full 100%. Look at the differently shaped turret. The MK IV has a noticably lower profile than the one in the ArmA III picture. And it resembles the other models of the Merkava even less. Maybe is SUPPOSED to be a Merkava MK IV, but it doesn't look much like one to me. PS - maybe it's the view angle that makes the difference. PPS - sorry for "discussing" it here, but wanted to point this out. Edited June 4, 2011 by Tulx Afterthought Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brute Force 10 Posted June 4, 2011 I served alongside the Merkava 4, and 4M. I'm pretty sure I can tell that it is a Merkava 4M. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tulx 10 Posted June 4, 2011 I'm sure I'll regret this, but I think I'll take the word of some guy from the internet. Thanks for pointing out. Still - am I the only one who thinks the Merkava in the photography looks lower-profile? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roberthammer 582 Posted June 4, 2011 That is Merkava Mk IV just compare this http://data3.primeportal.net/tanks/jian_zhen_wei/merkava_iv/images/merkava_iv_01_of_57.jpg with http://media.pcgamer.com/files/2011/05/Arma3_screenshot_07.jpg and you can clearly see those same details etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OK, I'm going to start listing what I see: TAR-21 Tavor M-249 SAW Plasan M/ATV Merkava 4M (In both Israeli Camo and Israeli OD Green) Namer AFV (though without the Iron Fist system for some reason) RAH-66 Comanche "Hamok Hybrid" (Fictional) F-35A One other thing I noticed, is the flag on the "enemy", seems to be Iranian hybrid. My guess is that BiS made a smart move, in order to incorporate the IDF (weapons and vehicles) but without actually including the IDF, they made it as if the IDF got overun and the Iranians are now using the IDF weapons. Just a guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
