Really good, but I'm thinking there'd probably be far less captured vehicles than you've written.

As far as I know, the majority of Pact vehicles aren't as durable as western AFVs when hit by the larger weapon systems. Unless entire regiments or even divisions surrendered to the west while still in good order, I'd have thought maybe only 1 in 10 (just to pick a figure) of all Pact vehicle losses would be due to capture rather than destruction.

The same would probably hold true for western vehicles lost, however there may be a higher percentage of repairable vehicles.

Of course that's just my impression.
