Rank VI[/h2] Features: [list] [*] Hydra rocket pods [*] Lacks of reactive armor [/list] [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//4649813/0c0b274f42b7b656f134a5a896fbe1040888d865.jpg[/img] In the La Royale update we will introduce a new tank from the Israeli Magach family - a modification of the Magach 6 with Hydra rocket pods mounted on the turret. A great option for close combat in the narrow streets of urban locations! The experimental Magach Hydra entered testing as a modification of the Magach 6R with dismantled ERA protection. The tank carries two rocket pods with 19 rockets each on its gun mantlet, left and right from the main gun. The pods are elevated at a slight angle relative to the position of the gun, so to hit targets at distances closer than 500 meters, the gun barrel must be lowered down. The Hydra rockets have a HEAT warhead and all 38 rockets can be fired in a few seconds, unleashing a real rocket hurricane on the enemy - one or the other will definitely find a weak spot in the protection of an enemy tank!

The 105mm cannon has excellent flatness and a good selection of available rounds, including HEAT rounds and APFSDS shots for heavily armored enemies and HESH rounds for light and medium vehicles.

However, having researched the rocket Magach, Israeli commanders will have their hands on an effective and unusual tank that will be of the greatest help in urban battles and other close quarter combat situations, including at the higher ranks!
