And that's pretty much it in a nutshell isn't it. One on one, even three on one, the M1 (and Leopard, Challenger, and most of the other western tanks) easily trumps virtually anything the Pact can field.

But, in a combined arms or post nuke situation with minimal, or even no technical support beyond a quick wipe with an oily rag and swapping worn out parts for almost as worn out parts, the Pact is likely to have the advantage.
