 In its production version, the Namer is equipped with a 12.7 mm M2 Browning machine gun or a 40 mm Mk.19 grenade launcher; however, in 2016 an experimental modification of the Namer based on the [[Merkava Mk.4B|Merkava Mk.4]] tank instead of the Merkava Mk.1 appeared with a Samson RCWS-30 combat module from Rafael, and Spike ATGM launchers. However, due to budget constraints, the project was shelved.
-Introduced in [[Update "Seek & Destroy"]], the Namer 30 is a rather unusual IFV in its class because, being based on the Merkava Mk.4 chassis, its vital modules and crew are concealed by a massive engine compartment and combined armour in the front of the hull. The Namer is equipped with an unmanned turret with a rapid-firing 30 mm Bushmaster autocannon and a pair of Spike-LR2 ATGM launchers, which give the vehicle the ability to engage armoured targets at distances up to 4 km. The presence of an auto-tracking system will also allow it to shoot down helicopters or low-flying aircraft. However, it does not have the most outstanding mobility.

 The Namer 30 is equipped with four Spike-LR missiles, with two being loaded in the launch tubes and two being stored in the hull. The Spike-LRs are best used against long-range targets. Due to the fire-and-forget capability, players can shoot off a missile at longer ranges at the start of matches on open maps while moving to objectives.

-The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a rank {{Specs|rank}} Israeli light tank {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced in [[Update "Seek & Destroy"]]. The version present in-game is equipped with the Samson Remote Controlled Weapon System (RCWS) with a 30 mm Bushmaster cannon and two Spike-LR launchers.
+Until the early 2000s, Israel's main armoured personnel carrier was the American M113, which had been adopted in the early 1960s. It became apparent that the vehicle was vulnerable to modern battlefield threats, so engineers began work on developing a new IFV based on the [[Merkava Mk.1B|Merkava Mk.1]] tank. After development and successful trials, the new vehicle, named '''Namer''' (נמ"ר - "Leopard", also an abbreviation of ''Nagmash Merkava'' - Merkava APC), officially entered service with the IDF in 2008.

 '''Cons:'''

 The reverse speed is good, allowing the player to get out of most sticky situations relatively quick. Another note is that the Namer unfortunately does not inherit the reverse gearbox on the Merkava 4 MBT which allows it to travel the same speed in both directions.
