Thanks for cross-posting these here, Chalk. When I was a kid first getting into T2k, I wouldn't give Soviet/WTO-made vehicles a second look. My thinking has changed quite a bit since then. Although I'd still take most NATO AFVs over their Soviet/WTO equivalents, I no longer turn up my nose at all ComBloc gear. I've grown quite fond of the former DDR BTR-80 in the PbP I play in, for example.
Some of the mods in the entries you posted make the vehicles to which they've been added more attractive options.
I think Soviet AFVs would suffer disproportionate losses early in the war, when NATO's technological edge was still sharp, but later in the war, I think the relative simplicity and durability of Soviet vehicles would give them a slight advantage over the high tech-dependent NATO vehicles.
