The T-55 in Danube Front

[Mafooo]

I think the D morale rating the game designer's assigned to the 2nd echelon T-55's is too lenient. Knowing that your going up against the latest in armor technology i.e M1 Abrams with a piece of crap should push your morale down to a "G" or "H". Personally, I would be an "I" and would probably break as soon as the command came down to go forward.

I'm being sarcastic, of course. Currently I'm playing as the WP in Aaron's Bolt out of the Blue scenario for Danube Front. To offset NATO's superior technology you get a horde of 2nd echelon Cat B units. The Soviet Union is basically emptied. But nearly all of these are PML's (Poor Morale Leftovers) and are driving embarrasingly outclassed T-55's. I mean, what was the Soviet leadership thinking? Did they actually expect to push NATO out of Germany with this junk? And what if you were a polish conscript driving the T-55. Did you honestly think that you had a chance to survive on a modern battlefield, going up against NATO tanks that could blast you from miles away...even in the pitch dark!

What do you guys think? Personally, I think this mismatch is even more lopsided then the Zulu's versus the Martini Henry. And also I would really like to know if a Polish, Czech or Hungarian soldier really believed they had a chance to win with a tank forty years older then most of the NATO tanks.
