General information

The Sho't Kal Dalet was the fourth and final production modification of the Sho't Kal series. The modification appeared in 1984 after the 1982 Lebanon War. Among the improvements was the installation of the more advanced "Barak Or" fire control system, and more efficient placement of the "Blazer" ERA packages. Tanks of this modification were in service with the IDF until 1992, when they were fully replaced by more modern Merkava tanks, and were also used for training armoured units until 2002.

Introduced in Update "Danger Zone", the Sho't Kal Dalet is quite similar to the tech-tree variant: the Sho't Kal Gimel. However, the Sho't Kal Dalet has a very good fire control system for its BR; with its thermal imaging system, it can acquire targets through bushes and other obstacles that allow light to pass through. Coupled with a 105 mm gun equipped with HEATFS and APFSDS ammunition, its firepower and gun handling are a force to be reckoned with. However, it has mediocre mobility, which will not allow it to accelerate quickly, and rather poor side armour protection, which will protect at most from heavy machine guns.
