Jerusalem is under siege, heavily armored soldiers from Europe make claim to the Holy Land in the name of peace and equality. Those fighting for Israel and Islam separately contemplate their fates, wondering how it came to this. They share the same god, yet kill each other in his name. They face similar hardships, yet aim to compound them in the other. How is it that one of the most sacred places known to man, has seen so much bloodshed? M1A3 Abrams and F-35's may have replaced knights and horses, police action may have replaced religious fervor but the fact remains that at the end of the day, the Holy Land may yet again be under control of the West. Welcome to the future, and the second Mideast Crisis. "Mideast Crisis 2"(MeC2) is a total conversion for "Command and Conquer 3: Tiberian Wars" and is developed by Isotx as the sequel to its "Command and Conquer: Generals - Zero Hour" conversion "Mideast Crisis". The staff for MeC2 is largely composed...

The Merkava V is the latest iteration of Israel's supertank. It's name, translated into English, means "God's Chariot" and it is designed to dominate the battlefield with biblical force. With the best armor protection of any Main Battle Tank in the world, and armed with one of the most devastating guns, the Merkava is more than a match for any enemy. It also has room for a small squad of support troops, and can be modified to serve as a field ambulance. New depleted uranium ammunition is becoming available on a limited basis.
Fantastic texture work. :)
medic tanks? :S
Yup;

Merkava Tankbulance
Some Merkavas have been fitted with full medical and ambulance capabilities, but retaining their armament. The cabin area has been converted for carrying injured personnel and has had stretchers and life support medical station systems added with a full medical team complement to operate under combat conditions with a Merkava battalion. The vehicle has a rear door to facilitate evacuation under fire, and can provide covering fire.
The "tankbulance" is not an unarmed ambulance and is not protected by the Geneva Conventions provisions regarding ambulances, but it is far less vulnerable to accidental or deliberate fire than an ambulance.
This looks more like the older Merkava tanks rather then the newer ones (this resembles the old Merkava MK-II)
Yea, its a mix of a few of them (hence no number after it). The turret on the older design was far more distinctive, thus it got used.
medic tank...
I have a suggestion
You can use the trophy system
Trophy is an active protection system (APS), designed to supplement the armor of both light and heavy armored fighting vehicles, which intercepts and destroys incoming missiles and rockets with a shotgun-like blast. Trophy was developed by RAFAEL together with Israel Aircraft Industries.

most IDF units can get a Trophy upgrade ;)
cool :-)
You have a mistake in the description,in Hebrew and English the means of 'Merkava' isn't "God's Chariot" it only chariot!.."God's Chariot" it's sound too much stupid.Who did you ask to translat it for you?.Even in YouTube they call it God's Chariot.
