I'm not sure the number of Soviet tanks would have been as great a factor. USA/UK probably would have had control of the air, which would have put the tanks at risk, just as it did to German tanks in western Europe.

Then again, if we had gone after the Sovs, would the remnants of the German army have gone with us? They still had a lot of men under arms at the end of the war. Given the German fear of the communists "barbarians", and being re-supplied with Allied materiel, maybe the Red army would have been given a bloody nose.

Just my take, and really, who knows?
