I agree that you have to look on the larger scale to see where the advantages and disadvantages of particular models lie. On a one to one, all other factors equal basis the T-90 is almost sure to be the loser, but if you've got 10,000 tonnes of T-90 facing off against 10,000 tonnes of M1, the additional gun barrels, longer potential range, lower fuel consumption and so forth tip the balance in the other direction.
The key to winning the battle is for the commanders to be very well aware of the capabilities of their troops and their equipment and plan, act, and react accordingly.
