Oh - the early Mk1 merkavas - 89/90 or so, have image-intensifying night sights (vision 30) and so smoke still works for those. So you can smoke barrage him, and then swarm with M-41 bulldogs at 1/10 the cost of a merk 1 (?) - 35 or so points a pop, with a decent long 76mm with a few sabots. Bulldog is available till 1990 or so, and it also can slay any israeli mech inf in M113s.

Early merk 1 is only 15 side hull (steel) and 8 rear hull and turret. So can be flank killed from miles away with a decent sabot round, 105mm or 115+
