Keep in mind that the game was written right about the time the Lima Tank Plant was going to 120 tanks per month - in other words they most likely had the old tank production rate of 30 tanks per month in mind when they did the game - they may have had no idea that eventually the US Army would field over 7000 of the M1, M1A1 and M1A2 tanks - thats why you still see the M60 in some units where in the real world by 1995 the M1 was basically in service in both the regular military and the Guard
Thus they had the US military less equipped in terms of armor than they would have been in a real world Cold War never ends situation by 1995 - especially with how the US would have ramped up tank production with the start of the war in China.
