Remember that in the basic Mass Combat system, tanks just get a 25 (light), 40 (medium) or 60 (heavy).

All the numbers are subjective. At one time, I had created a crude formula that took into account (off-road) speed, (frontal and side) armor and armament in an objective way, but it has been lost to the mists of time.
