Thanks. I forgot to bring that up. Marine Corps M-60s admittedly had access to better munitions but not the Iranians, and they faced significant number of T-72M1s. I don't have any references at hand about USMC Pattons at war, though; if only there are published data of the kills, engagement ranges and ammo type . . . .

Guess that's operational security, too.
