General Information[]
The Merkava IVM is another step up from the Abrams with better stats. Its most significant trait, however, is the ability to equip secondary weapons. The missile can take down annoying aircraft that it can't possibly reach, while the machine gun whittles down massed infantry and light vehicles. Other equipment, such as the Vet Tank Crew and 30mm Steel Plate, can form decent combos and advance the player's progression as well.
The Merkava is also the unit for Tank FOB4-7, succeeding the Abrams while being succeeded by the T-14 Armata.

Trivia[]
- The Merkava IVM is based on the real-life Merkava IV Main Battle Tank.
- It and the MK Shredder are based on the same vehicles as the latter is a minesweeping variant of the former.
- IVM possibly stands for "Mark 4". This is reinforced in a WCRA official video where it is pronounced as "Merkava Mark Four".
