General information

Very little is known about the Magach Hydra the vehicle-mounted two Hydra-70 rocket launchers with M261 rockets. Just a single prototype was built and tested, in this case, in Suez in 1981. The tank was built over the Magach 6R but strapped from its Blazer ERA. It carried a total of 38 rockets with the pods being mounted at a slight angle relative to the position of the gun.

It was introduced in Update "La Royale". The tank is nearly identical to the Magach 6R , except with a lack of ERA and the addition of Hydra-70 Rocket Pods to the turret, which traverse with the main armament. The Magach Hydra has above-average mobility and very mediocre protection against both APDS and HEAT projectiles, especially due to the lack of ERA. It should be played aggressively using its rockets since they have very poor precision at long ranges.
