^After Chafees are retired, you can use BMP-1s. Almost the same price, with a 40 HEAT main gun. Can penetrate the rear turret and hull of Merkava 4.

BTW, you probably were lucky too, since Chafee has an AP of 10, while the weakest point of Merkava is 12 AP armor. So it was probably a best AP shot, or a weakpoint shot. In any case, jumping on a Merk with a horde of Chaffees is definitely an achievement to be proud of, although something tells me your opponent got cocky and though "I have a Merkava hurr durr, I can just bulldoze my way to victory". There is a reason uber tanks fight from a distance, and he probably got the lesson the hard way.
