It seems that if I wanted to make a historically accurate central front tank battle scenario I would have to give the USSR double points.

I'm not saying you should deflate the Soviet OOB because perhaps the way it is now works better for game balance. But I'm curious, was that the intent? Do the Soviets really need a handicap?
They would be attacking or assaulting your defence - so the game will give them a points advantage in that battle type already. It's only the meeting engagement that is a 1:1 points situation.

In a scenario - the balance is completely up to the designer.
