Adoption of MBT-70-Western Kontakt 5

OP, MBT 70, Tanks
Would the adoption of the MBT 70 in the US and West Germany have led to a Western equivalent of Kontakt 5 ERA? How would the MBT 70 change development of Western and Eastern Bloc MBTs if it was adopted?

How would US and West German armies equipped with the MBT 70 fair against the Eastern Bloc in a hot war and/or Regional conflict such as Desert Storm?

Would the MBT 70 still be in service today?
