T-64
In Team Yankee
Well this is the superior Russian tank with 17 points of frontal armor. So far the game seems to be running on Cold War predictions. (Soviet doctrine did not consider the survivability of the crew to be a priority, so...)
IRL
Well to say this was a good tank is a bit of a lie. It was revolutionary although when the British showed off the Chieftan with its 120mm cannon the Soviets reworked the T-64 to have an auto-loader and 125mm cannon in production as the T-64A. It was the first tank to feature an auto loader, it was also the first tank to use composite armor. Of course its entire design was such a revolution that most had to have the people who made the tank drafted into service to maintain most of the systems. Currently the tank has several upgrades making it more capable, and it is being used in the Ukrainian civil war.
