Terror tactics by mistake

I lost a couple in row so I decided to go back to my more aggressive strats. At Cp2/3 I accidently picked Terror tactics so went with the T2 back tech. I didn't want to pick it in case he rushed tiger.

Skipped clown car since I had a feeling he would go for fussies, opening fights went his way at first but once I got 3rd penal I got good decaps and decent cover positioning so we were trading fairly good
I wanted to go for 120mm mortar in case he blobbed but picked terror so I quickly made Airborne and got LMG to counter fussies.
I lost a Penal squad but he lost VG with STG so decent trade, we both get LV, I do a decent job avoiding his and not letting him do to much damage.
Got AT gun out which made his Flak more passive, worked for me, replaced lost Penal with Airborne LMG so infantry fights are better suited my way but he does start to make Obers to counter.
I get KV8 out and bully his infantry, sometimes tag teaming T70 with KV8 to get quick model kills. He eventually gets out panther but I have 2 at guns so I keep him at bay. Him going panther worked out well since I really start to rack up kills.
I get Su85 which keeps his panther from diving and he gets a Tiger we keep prodding each other until I make a Katy.
On first katy strike he rushes me with Tiger/P5 and smoke run I see it coming but dont react fast enough. He beats up Su85 and 1 of At gun which I quickly recrew, his panther tries to run away so I box it in with KV8 and kill it. His tiger makes it though.
I have lost all vehicles except T70 so I feel like I still have a chance even though he has Tiger. I didn't lose any squads but I am pretty sure I got some wipes in the Chaos and killed his Flak so I can get back to bullying his Inf when tiger ain't there.
Tiger is a beast though, get lots of kills and wipes a Penal squad but I do get out Su85 fairly quick so it stops him from overrunning me.
I try to minimize bleed as much as possible to get KV8 back out, once I do back to bullying while recaping with T70. I have been getting decent amount of wipes on Obers(3 or more) so I pretty much have stronger inf force. He gets arty to wipe my AT but he never destroys it.
I eventually get 2nd KV8 and after some switching between tanks to keep pressure up. I base rush him while he retreats Obers and get several wipes while attacking and killing Tiger with SU85 as it tried to protect base.
