The Sh’ot Kal is a Israeli Main Battle Tank that appears in Nation Pack: Israel DLC of Wargame: Red Dragon.
History[]
The Sho't (Hebrew: שוט, meaning "Whip") is name of the Centurion tank in Israeli service, refitted with an 105 mm L7 cannon. The "Sho't Kal" variants are modernized Centurions fitted with a new Continental diesel engine and include other upgrades like Blazer ERA, new transmission, and a new FCS (Sh’ot Kal Dalet).
Just like with the Magach, the Sho't received a more capable firepower upgrade with the Sho't Kal Alef. This upgrade included the introduction of the American M68 105 mm cannon, and a new powerplant in the form of the Continental AVDS-1790-2A diesel engine and Allison CD-850-6A transmission that were also used by the Magach 3. The new cannon forced the Sho't to lose its stabilizer, but with access to APDS, HEAT, and HESH shells, it was much more capable of dealing with Soviet T-54/55s and T-62s as well as entrenched infantry.
The Sho't tank served in the Six-Day War in 1967 and the Yom Kippur war in 1973. However, as all tanks in the opening days of the 1973 Yom Kippur war, it proved exceedingly vulnerable to Soviet-made weapons such as the RPG-2, RPG-7, and briefcase Sagger guided missile, weapons which the Egyptians used in large numbers in the crossing of the Bar Lev line. It is estimated that the Israeli armed forces lost up to 40% of their southern armored groups during the first two days of the war, highlighting the necessity for infantry support to armoured groups, culminating in the Merkava main battle tanks being equipped with rear troop bays. The Sho't was also used in the 1978 and 1982 invasions of Lebanon.
