God damn people need to chill out.
1) Think of the KV-8 like the ostwind and T70
- They only good against infantry and light vehicles.
- Mostly get fucked if enemy tank roll out
- Very good at anti-infantry.
- T70 can turn on recon and auto repair/ Ostwind can be anti-air/ KV-8 can burn down building and take more hit.
2) Why do you even compare the Stuka with KV-8 ? Is this just because they deal with blobs ? If you want to compare stuka then compare it to panzerwerfer / BM-13 Katyusha Rocket Truck.
- They are all mobile arty piece that good to deal against infantry.
- Very easy to die. Just 1 shoot from tank and they are dead.
- Required cool down after every time fire.
And no, just because you people don't use panzerwerfer anymore doesn't mean it no good.
Here's a replay of my 2vs2 game that Damage went to 68000 !. panzerwerfer was able to wipe out 3 rifleman vet 3 squad together!.

Sure, a stuka is better then the other two but it's also a hard punishment for OKW and cool down time is way too long.
