If that is what you are interested in, amongst much other stuff the new version of SBP offers you (so far non-crewable) right those M60A3s and T-55s and T-62, and the theatres you mentioned anyway. with the crewable Leopard-1DK and the crewable Leopard-1AS, battles of that vehicle composition can be realistically modelled without having any historic "time gaps" that would need to be compensated for. Needless to say that since it is SBP, settings for ammunition effectiveness and armour characteristics can be expected to be spot on.
What also thrilled me is that for the first time ever these fantastic German armoured fighting vehicles called "Wiesel" are introduced, too: fast, agile like hell, small in size, can hide everywhere, hard to spot and aim at, and capable to deliver total knockout blows at tanks even over longest distances. These tiny little beasts are hell to fight against. In reality they come in small autocannon, TOW, mortar and anti-air configurations. Their name "Weasel" is very well-choosen.
I love these things. But as somebody wrote in another forum: their crews tend to be (and need to be, as he said) a bit crazy.
