Anybody good at dessert fighting

To the reverse slope,flank shots, low tech numbers vs high tech=hich cost approach add:
1. the obvious: don't target units you have little chance of disrupting/damaging/killing, ie forget the Markavas go for the APCs etc (if there are not around yet,wait...)
2. try to "separate" the attacking armour from its accompanying mechanized element. Arty and arty delivered mines may help at this. A forward "skirmish" line may also do the trick. If some of your forward units survive the armor onslaught, they might cause the mechanized element to unload. Then apply artillery as usual. The armour element may continue to advance but without infantry support.Your chances are better now (well in the theory!)
Avoid the strong(er), hit the weak(er).

You have to strip the infantry away realy to have much chance at getting to the tanks with grunts. Am kinda overemphasising the problem wide open maps do not appear that often but if only 3 or 4 crest lines you know where his gold spots are or just given a wide margin. This time have a few nicely placed hills for flanks & a few depressions to boot so in with a chance of inflicting some hurt. The generator does a good job the amount of midnight oil that must have been spent deciding on settings for respective opponents let alone getting it to work does not bear thinking about.

To stop a superior and expensive armor force you'll need a bunch of atgms, if your nation has rocket/atgm carrying helos, but a few and park the at the sides of the map, when armor appears move them in, pop from cover, fire, change positon, then keep shooting

If I play against IDF(I hardly do cause burning Merkavas makes me a bit tense), I usually dont buy much AFVs. The IDF in real life as in SPMBT is simply superior to any of its possible opponents in armored warfare and will happily fight you on its own terms(Massive, hihly dynamic, armored encounters in open terrain). Now....If you want to counter that it is not really terribly diffecult.

Pick ATGMs. Lots of ATGMs. If Syria go for Kornets and Metis, IF egypt than Milan and TOW(by the way Egyptian M1s arnt that infirior to ISraeli Mk3s). If possible get infantry that has RPG-29s those are very effective. You should only fire at flanks, unless Merk 2 and than Kornet and Metis can probably give you kills at the front. YOu can also get some Sggaers and older crap and use them to waste the Israeli countermeasures than go for the kills with the heavy hitters. Your still going to suffer badly but you can probably cause enough casualties in AFVs to hault the advance.

The infantry ATGM teams are usually hard to spot and pretty cheap on points, compared to modern MBT's.
