Usage in battles
The magach 5, similarly to previous MBTs in the tech tree, is a fairly maneuverable but its larger profile makes it easy to spot. It does well at long range shooting and the 105mm sharir canon makes its presence known, as many tanks in the same BR can be destroyed in 1 strategic hit. It fares well in an urban setting with a fairly quick turret traverse and powerful ammo, however it is not the fastest and should have team mates to cover the flanks. Rarely should the ammo capacity be met as the front ammo stowage is the biggest detriment to the tanks survival in a frontal hit. Overall this tank is just right for most environments with it being most vulnerable to comparable ammo from other western nations.
Pros and cons
Pros:
- Good firepower
- Decent mobility
- Surprisingly survivable, two crew members often survive a shot
- ERA able to defeat low-end chemical shells
Cons:
- Ineffective armour in an uptier
- No stabilizer
- Ammunition explosions are common as most of the shells are in the front next to the driver
- ERA only effective against chemical shells - only provides 5 mm kinetic protection
History[1]
When the Yom Kippur War broke out, Israel had 540 M48-series (with 105 mm gun) and M60/M60A1 tanks. During the war, the tanks suffered heavy losses. The location of flammable hydraulic fluid at the front of the turret was discovered to be a severe vulnerability. Egypt had destroyed a large number of Israeli tanks, and only 200 M48 and M60A1 tanks remained. Israel entrenched most of these tanks in the Sinai front against opposite entrenched Egyptian infantry armed with 9M14 Malyutka anti tank missiles. Israel replaced their war losses with new M48A5 (Magach 4 and 5), M60 (Magach 7) and M60A1 (Magach 6) during the 1970s. The older M60's (which still used the smaller M48-style turret) were supplied to make up for a shortage of sufficient M60A1s, explaining why the older model has the higher designation.
M48A5 in the original configuration. Generally similar to the Magach 3, but had slightly different engine and transmission—AVDS-1790-2D and CD-850-6A accordingly. They were eventually fitted with Blazer ERA.
