And when the T-10ms move (or any Soviet tank that is in the same era as just about any western tank) the Western tank that has moved has a better chance of actually hitting it's target after it has moved . You can have all the rounds in the world and if all you hit is air they are worthless to you so that further tips the balance in favour of the western tank even though you think the Russian equipment fires too many rounds in comparison to it's western counterpart.

In answer to you other question, we consider all factors-- gameplay AND reality and in a game, gameplay is important (as is reality) and when designing any game getting a balance between the two sometimes conflicting issues is difficult but in the end, it's a game. If you want reality, join the army. It you want to play this game but don't think this one has enough emphasis on "reality" you are free to sit down and edit a complete set of OOB's and offer them up for people to try and if they like them they'll tell you and if they don't, they'll tell you as well.
