-The Magach 7C was the third development of the Magach 7 series. The Magach 7 came out in the 1980s with the C variant being developed in the 1990s. Unlike the Magach 7A the Magach 7C employed passives arrays of armour instead of ERA kits like the ones present in the Magach 7A. With this extra armour the Magach 7C took a hit to its mobility and received a new powerplant and transmission, it used the 900HP AVDS-1790-5A used in early Merkava's and the transmission was upgraded to the same automatic transmission present in the Merkava Mk.2. The Magach 7C was eventually faced out in favour of the Merkava MK.4 but it was still retained by reserve units of the IAF.

-It was introduced in [[Update "Apex Predators"]]. The very last variant of Israel Magach series with redesigned applique armour, although not being the most protected tank of its era, Magach 7C still gives players the chance to fight back with its improved FCS, powerplant, new APFSDS and slightly better protection than its predecessors. Compared to previous versions of the Magach, the Magach 7C has slightly better mobility and armour, and packs quite a punch with it's new APFSDS round. However it relies heavily in it's Fire Control System with 2nd generation thermals to be a threat in battles. It's armour is also much more capable against APFSDS and HEAT shells, since the ERA present in other Magach variants was not enough to stop APDS or APFSDS shells even from autocannons.

 The Magach 7C, or "Battering-Ram 7 Gimel" as translated from Hebrew, is the third development of the Magach 7 series. The Magach 7 first entered service with the Israeli Defense Forces in the mid 1980s. It was a radical new design from previous Magachs, featuring an uparmored hull and turret. Rather than the addition of ERA which Israel had used on previous Magachs, the Magach 7 series was given composite screens on the turret, side-skirts, and hull. These upgrades resulted in the Magach 7 sharing few visual characteristics with the M60 Patton tank upon which it is based.
-The Magach 7A was the first rendition of the Magach 7 to serve in the IDF Armored Corps. One might compare it visually to the M48 super, as the layout of composite screens added to the turret, if loosely, visually resembles that of the German counterpart. Upgrades from the base M60 include the addition of composite screens, as mentioned previously, an upgraded fire control system, including a laser rangefinder and thermal sight, and the addition of the same tracks as the Merkava Mk. 1. Many of the components used to upgrade the Magach 7 were shared with the Merkava designs of the time.

-By the 1990s, the Magach 7C design had all-but replaced the Magach 7A. The primary difference between the Magach 7A and 7C is the armor layout. Composite screens remained on the hull and side skirts, but the layout on the turret had been entirely redesigned. The turret armor now featured wedge-shaped composite screens with a fixed mantlet. These screens featured slots for the 105mm cannon, as well as the 7.62 coaxial machine gun.
