Quality doesn't imply greatness either. Look at WW2 tanks, the Germans created perfect engineering masterpieces that could outclass just about anything in the same category (ie a Tiger). However, they still lost because the Americans could vastly outproduce them. 

For every Tiger that was killed, 8 Shermans where KIA'd but it was due to sheer numbers that the Allies could beat Germany. One a one to one level, Tigers easily rolfstomped Shermans into the ground, but when you have 8 fucking tanks around you, it doesn't matter how good your tank it or your crew, they're still fucked by numbers.
