In terms of styling, it's hard to say where the Edelweiss is derived from, but in terms of features, there's no doubt in my mind: Edelweiss is a Merkava. It's got good gun, good armor, good speed, roomy enough to carry troops (although the placement of the ragnite engine prevents the position of a rear hatch like on the Merkava) and smoke dispensers and mortars.
The Merkava has a good gun, good armor, good speed, can carry a 4-man infantry team and holds smoke dispensers and a 60mm mortar.

I really doubt that a M1A1 Crew has that potential but that depends if they use an autoloader while the leo2 has a loading gunner and their gunnery training.
Still just to go into your comparison between leo 2, abrams and merkava.
Currently the abrams and the merkava are slight weaker then the current version of the leo 2 although the other tanks are more proven combat tested.
Also the leo 2 and the abrams are most "brothers" because on the leo 2 construction american engineers were involved and later went with the invention of the abrams.
the merkava has it's strengths in combined group combat but has looses against both tanks in a 1on1 combat situations if both commanders are on the same skill level.
Btw. to the issue about tanks and submerge. This is how a leo would look like:
