Agreed too. But I wouldn't complain if I had any of them as a part of my force.
One correction - IIRC South Vietnamese had a regiment of Pattons and they were fighting good but they were all destroyed. Not exactly "came ahead". Also there are numerous factors that should be included with these conflicts...
There is also huge list of improvment packages for T-55 - FCSs, gun launched ATGMs, all sorts of added armor like ERA, new engines... They are more or less in the same class.
And such comparisons are always pointless - tank is a tank untill it is in similar class with its oponent and the sole statistics and characteristics on paper are certainly least important.
