Re: what time period is the most even for US vs USSR?
Personal opinion...and I stress both words - personal and opinion...
Anytime between 1946 and say 1960ish or post 2010.
The introduction of the Sagger, BMP-1, T-62, and later AH-1/AH-64, Dragon ATGMs and thermal imageing make the 60s thru about 2009 one where the "advantage" swings wildly between them.
As Wdll said this period is one for very interesting battles due to those things, but if you want parity (more-or-less) its not the one I'd choose.
I'll freely admit a LOT of bias, but if you want "fun" battles try the USMC VS the Soviets in the mid-80s. Using a "real" OOB you have very little armor, fewer ATGMs, and less artillery then the US Army. But a lot of helo/air support VS the Soviet Armored Hordes. The USMC does quite well defending VS the Soviets but has a lot of difficulty attacking.
