Which I think is a very fine aim!
Although today we know (or at least strongly believe) the Soviet equipment of the time was woefully inadequate, T2K is built on the assumptions and information of the day.
The PACT armies were expected to steamroll over NATO defences, using superior numbers of tanks, APCs and especially artillery rather than technology. Sure one on one the Soviet tanks, etc are not up to scratch, but for what they were designed for, they were quite adequate.
The 1991 Gulf War is extremely misleading in my opinion as the Iraqi's were not adhering to the Soviet doctrine of attack, but rather dug in defensively (and most importantly stationary and in relatively low numbers) and unable to close to short range where their guns might have been effective. Of course the allied air superiority didn't much help their situation much.
Overall the Iraqi's were in a completely different league to what NATO would have faced in Europe, even if they did feild similar equipment and employ similar doctrines.
