Or to put it another way, give me a litre of water and I drink. Give me a hundred litres and I drown.
The Soviets had a massive advantage in manpower AND they didn't need to haul it all across the Atlantic to get it into battle. Take out a few transport and you've got a radically different battlefield which a few M1s and M2s aren't going to be a huge amount of help on.
The British have a similar problem but shorter distance. A handful of diesel subs can wreak havoc on reinforcements.
