I hate to say i told you so, but...they should've used slat armor.

Well the losses seem to have been worse among the vanilla Merk-2s (ammo should have cooked off in at least one and the turret came off) without the add on armor then with the Merk-3s or Merk-4s. Looking at the picture coverage as time went on more Merk-3s and Merk-4s were seen as compared to the Merk-2s. That's just going on what is out at the moment.
The Merk-2 can be fitted with add on armor which changes the shape of the turret but not all have ($$$$). The add on armor should add KE protection to the tanks which slat would not.
Where would be the best place to put the slat armor on the Merk tanks?
Hezbollah TV did have a special on the weak points of the Merk, I will probably not post the images without anyone asking.
