================================================================================================
Overview:
When working on a main battle tank design, Clan Hell’s Horses scientists took pages from
both ancient Earth history from the 20th and 21st centuries and pre-Star League Terran
history. Doing so led to the development of the Merkava-CHH.
Capabilities:
In its role of a main battle tank, the scientists focused on firepower and armor, relegating
mobility to a distant third place. They equipped the tank with multiple weapon system
designed to defeat all possible opponents, and give the tank’s crew options on how to
engage their foes.
Defensively, a combination of an anti-missile system and a thick shell of ferro-lamellar
make the tank difficult to outright kill, although it is still vulnerable to mobility kills.
Another option was the inclusion of an infantry bay, allowing it to carry a small unit of
foot infantry into combat as well, much as its namesake ancestral design.
Deployment:
Although it passed many trials, full-scale deployment of this Clan Merkava was put on hold
during the Hell’s Horses alliance with Khan Malvina of Clan Jade Falcon. It is only
recently that the design has been brought back to the attention of Clan leadership for
possible deployment.

I'm not certain how I feel about this one.
On one hand, the guns are all over the place and don't really have a decisive kill potential.
On the other hand, it has a tool for everything. I think it would do well in a lower intensity urban environment.
And the alpha strike stats are in tune with its cost. Might have a few too many bells and whistles eating up the PV budget, but oh well.

I was basically taking a page from the modern Merkava MBT and merging it with the BTech one.
Modern Merkava MBT’s have a 120 mm main gun, a 60 mm mortar, a .50 caliber MG and three 7.62 mm MG’s and a 40 mm automatic grenade launcher (plus smoke grenade launchers), plus a Troohy active protective system, EW capabilities, plus other stuff, and since the engine is at the front of the tank, it has the capability of carrying small amounts of infantry into battle.
I would have preferred an ER PPC as the main gun, but didn’t have the tonnage.
