kv8 underperforms

Sturmpanzer? I'd prefer k-8. Don't need to baby sit it, has more health, more armor.
105mm Sherman? meh. Same with Sturmpanzer, but the discrepancy is even more obvious in favor of KV-8.
There is cheaper alternative like Flame Hetzer, but it is considerably harder to keep alive.
It is good, but clearly not versatile, so a lot of players prefer KV-1 over it. Actually I'm curious if it receives more attention after repair speed nerf on KV-1.

I do notice the difference, and if the difference was "insignificant" they wouldnt have lowered it to that amount.I think the 10 armour equal to about 1-2% less chance to pen ?
And the hp is being changed this patch to 1040 so 80 more hp which is 1 more hit which is fair considering it does not have A flame thrower

Lemme introduce the flampanzer hetzer.
Jokes aside, it is usually an enemy tank, typically panthers that kill my kv8s, not infantry. The latter, if pays attention, runs away once the kv8 starts firing.

So, 960 hp and a turret is not enough, with the bonus ability to fend off light vehicles?

Kv8 45mm gun has anomaly high close penetration it can fight more "light vehicles" at close range.

It is very bad against blobs or sole squads, becausae it targets single models instead of the whole squad. The area damge is too small, so it takes a very long time till several models die, and that is especially when the squad is moving. 1 panzerschreck can almost kill a kv8 if it keeps moving/dodging.

Kv8 performs OK against team weapons thats it.

You cannot have all mighty tanks, that counter all infantry and game will happen only tanks vs tanks battles.
If you combined KV8 with AT infantry, result is adequate.

and on top of thats its not like the units health is dropping rapidly cuz it dont drop that fast so all that time in a team game just trying to do some damage is hurting u in the long run cuz you chase into shreks and atgun chunking at your health and it had no smokes to get out saftley or no defense ability to make it survive longer. so in the end yes i think kv8 underperforms a bit. needs some more shooting range and speed or more dps

the thing about kv8 is like yea its decent in 1v1s but when u play in team games u you try to shoot a unit and he starts moving making dps drop hard. and your trying to get some kills but this thing is only dont damage and units always end up retreating asap so u dont get kills just hurting units.

exactly.
It performs OK against team weapons bc they dont move. But 1 Shrek is arleady enoujgjh it can almost kill a kv8 if it keeps moving sidewards after every shot.
KV8 needs to have same defensive stats as kv1. Plus its fire attack needs to have area damage so even if it dioesnt hit exactly the model it still damages the models.

Don't see many kv8s or hetzers. Not even many crocs with brits. Anything flamey is just too risky I guess.
