>The M111 could only penetrate the glacis of the T-64A, not the turret
the turret has very poor armor scheme that is adequate only against APDS. APFSDS would render it largely ineffective even if there were some spots in armor which could still resist it.
>rendering NATO impotent against the Soviet tanks until 1984
ignoring that ATGMs were much more pressing threats to tanks than other tanks, this simply isn't true. 120mm Leo 2s and M777 came out in the 1979/1980 and could defeat soviet armor at virtually any range.
here's a T-72B, with essentially the strongest armor scheme the soviets ever produced(and which they today still use) penetrated at >2km by an obsolete APFSDS that's at best on par with M777.
