Namer APC
The armor stats for this vehicle seem a bit low. At the time it was included in the game it was unclear as to what version of the Merkava tank it would be based on. The IDF has based the Namer on the MkIV Merkava hull. While slightly redesigned it offers the same protection to crew and passengers as the Merkava MkIV. It should also have a Soltam 60mm mtr and the same close in defence system as mounted on the MkIV (Trophy). The in game Namer has none.
Another version replacing the 50cal MG with a Mk19 40mm AGL should be made.
Both of these weapons are mounted on a ROWS.(Remote Overhead Weapons Station) These ROWS mounted weapons should be much more accurate than a man aimed weapon because they are tied in to a system that includes optics and a balistics computer. This would require the creation of these systems in the game as it seems none exist now. They are becomming much more prevelent on the modern battlefield and are used on a huge assortment of vehicles and by many Nations.
A future IFV version of the Namer could also be made mounting a 30mm gun and SPIKE ATGMs. The current weapon system in the game useing this weapon combination is mounted on other Nations APCs/IFVs. It is made by Rafael in Israel. An upgraded version of this system is to be mounted on the IFV version of the Namer. It is said that mounting this weapon system will not detract from the passenger capacity.
