RW & Canon Merkava models

Merkava Mk. I (1978—1983) (Hebrew for "Chariot") Real World Tank designed built and produced by the Israeli Defense Force that FASA would have known about when the Mackie/Merkava Test was written, 105 mm gun, 60 mm mortar, 2-3 7.62 mm Machine Guns. Was Very famous at time of writing due to its performance in 1982 Labanon War. Merkava Mk. II (1982—1989) Much the same as Mk I, introduced, probably before the divergence of the original time line. With the chaos in the Middle East in the BattleTech Timeline (IIRC the region went nuclear). It is not surprising that this famous Israeli Tank would have been picked up by the German Manufacturer after the Middle East dissapeared. Just hard to figure out from TRO 3075 if Terran Alliance used the 310 year old Merkava Mk. II unchanged or if that 2292 intro Date was supposed to be for the Merkava Mk. VI and the Mk. II was a typo- the timeline has a 2325 date for the Mk. VI that I could not find in the TRO3075 Article - Birth of the King Scenario?--Cameron 00:18, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

2325 date is not from TRO 3075 or Birth of the king Scenario... was it from the RS?--Cameron 06:22, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

Experimental Technical Readout: Primitives, Volume 1 has the Merkava as well. It does have dates. 2294 is when the MK II came out. Mark VI came out 2384. But the date 2325 is not listed. -- Wrangler 11:02, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

Further review of where you got the date, Onisuzume was one who added it to the Manufacturing Timeline‎. I would talk to him about it. As of XTRO:Primitives Vol 1, the date Onisuzume added is incorrect. -- Wrangler 11:10, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

why so many steps? anyway, thx much gonna go search and destroy that entry on the MFG time line... --Cameron 14:29, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

Not my fault that the MUL isn't accurate anymore. :rolleyes: In any case, I stand by the MUL unless other references can be proven. The MUL says that the Mk. II is from 2325, and the model from 2294 is listed as (Original), and would thus suggest it to be the Mk. I model. Source of those dates is listed as being TRO3075. With the Mk. VII and VIII from the 25th century (TRO 3075 as source too). For record, only RS records listed are for the Mk. VIII and the Mk. IX (both RS3075u). No year is mentioned for the target drone variant.
