In short, use the design philosophy of Merkeva 4 but the material science and components of Abram and Leopard2. The ultimate tank would probably be a tank that use most of Merkeva design feature, philosophy and silhoutte BUT uses a LV-100-5 gas turbine to confer STEALTH (its very silence) and acceleration (gas turbine has much better acceleration capability compare to diesel not to mention smaller engine size per unit output), as well 2nd or 3rd generation Chobham or composite armour. In terms of electronics, M1A2SEP and Type90(from Japan) should be superior while Leo2A6 and Leclerc long barrel gun should have an extra 2MJ to 3 MJ worth of muzzle energy. However, I still believe that M1A2 and Leo2A6 contain armour that consist of more exotic and advanced material. As I have said elsewhere, Merkeva is the best tank from an ARCHTECTURAL an DESIGN PHILOSOPHY point of view. Hmm, agree on your thoughts about Merkeva.
