Thus a tank that has none of the advantages and features of more modern tanks, designed during WWII, is still fighting on the battlefields of the Twilight War as an effective tank.
Let alone the M48, the M60, the Leopard I, the AMX-30, etc.. - all of which are part of the game and all of which dont have composite armor, although some were retrofitted with reactive armor blocks to help against HEAT

All post WW2 and with one giant glaring advantage....... a logistics chain. Parts in abundance and technicians in abundance to keep them running.
Ammunition compatibility.... They use the same MG ammo as the rest of the forces.
Lastly, they have the capability to train crews. There isn't a M4 Sherman or Panzer 4 school about to train some drivers and gunners.
