From the Iran Iraq War to the Second Indochina War and Arab Israeli wars the M-48s of all versions have come out ahead. In IDF service the M-48 was more popular then the upgraded T-55s.

By the time the M-48A5 entered service the T-55 had been long since relegated to Soviet Class C divisions. The M-48A5 was a 70s model IIRC. We still had them in service with the guard until the 80s.
