Here’s one of the most interesting paradoxes.
-The TO&E of a unit tells a lot about what the unit is, what it’s capable of, and what it does.
-Any unit that has been in the field for even a slight amount of time will NOT be matching its on-paper TO&E. So, if a unit’s paper strength is 51 tanks and 173 APCs, even a bit of experience in the “rough” will reduce that, if only to mechanical breakdowns. So it’s one of those “use a bit of common sense” deals.
