I loved RSR when I was a youngster but re-reading it now, along with Team Yankee, I find them both a bit 'Hollywood'

You can get 'Chieftans' by Bob Forrest-Webb on Kindle. Give that a go.
Few problems with the writing (plots not finished mainly) but as a Tank Commanders view of WW3 in Northern Germany it really is very good.

The bit where they lose a squadron of Chieftans to a massive Soviet Arty barrage is quite sobering.

If you can find a copy 'Arc Light' is an excellent story about a Sino-Soviet War going Nuke and getting the whole world involved.

The chapters about F-15 Strike Eagle attacks on an Ivan's port and a B1 Nuke attack over Russia are very realistic. Not all one way, Backfires bombing USA Nuke plants is in there as well.
