SHERMAN EDIT: This was split from the German Tanks discussion. The topic was brought up by Whispering Death, and this is the first post that was made in respons.
What disparity in armor? The Merkava Mk 4 is as armored if not more so then those tanks. It has more or less equal frontal armor with very good flank armor. The Merkava Mk 4 is also incredibly survivable in case of penetration.
Seeing first and shooting first is more important in any warfare then armor. Something the Merkava is as good as any other tank.

By the way, I don't get this facination with the Merkava 4, it seems like an M1A2 or Challenger 2 would thoroughly destroy a Merkava due to the disparity in armor.
