So, while researching, testing my scens, playing and comparing the OOBs i came to the conclusing, that the most dangerous opponent in the period about 1970 - 90 is the red army.

Quantity + quality will crush most opponents.
Yes and No. Give me M60A3's with Thermal sights and a little bit of smoke to drop on the battlefield and I'll kill red units all day without many losses, except maybe to their artillery.

Soviet doctrine of the late 70's called for covering the battlefield in smoke so they could get in close and overwhelm us with numbers. By the early 80's we were counting on it so we could use the blanket of smoke against them since by then we could see through the smoke with our TTS sights and pick them off before they could get close enough to see us.
