How to play NATO in 10v10s?

Definitely a skill issue but nevertheless curious what the issue is. It seems like whenever my friends and I play NATO, we always get smoked by PACT for reasons that seem totally out of control. The constant Mig-31 spam destroys any of our planes (which outrange our f-15Cs), T-series tanks constantly take half a dozen ATGMs to the face, not to mention the completely overwhelming artillery (don't even get me started on the napalm) that deletes any breakthroughs we achieve. This is only a fraction of what we're experiencing, which is why I'm curious how I could possibly be doing any better.
