You know, all I heard when talking about the OKW infantry gun and stuka is "it's fine bro don't blob"
Here we have a slow ass tank designed to fight blobs, gutted and made useless. I just used it against a player blobbing 5 panzerfusiliers + officer and it gets on average 1-2 kills per 4 second flame burst.
Meanwhile stukas are still dropping pinpoint atom bombs and infantry guns are still firing heat-seeking shells

Well, obersoldaten are next in line.
Maybe it's 'cause the Axis players aren't a bunch of forum crybabies, and they keep their cool and fight the uphill battle, unlike some of their "allied" counterparts.

The KV8 was fine before this patch, this may have been an overnerf.

Flame weapon damage doesn't matter that much. Most kills are via Crits. This nerf is far smaller than it sounds.

Typical usage of the KV8:
1) Get KV8
2) Cause all enemyInfantry to retreat in horror
3) Squad wipe any infantry unlucky enough to be caught on retreat
4) Drive up to any PAKS and instaburn them
5) Drive up to enemy base and burn all infantry units in the base
6) Get destroyed or return, doesn't matter; it's gg anyway
That's not really how a unit is meant to be used. Just because it doesn't ridiculously overperform like you're used to, doesn't make it overnerfed. The unit has been broken since release.

Go play OKW if you think they are so good. They are actually the most challenging army to use atm.

what it needed was a damage nerf against retreating units
following and squad wiping guys in retreat is what was stupid

The problem with the KV-8 wasn't that it countered blobs, it was that it countered all infantry. All of it. Every single squad on the field. To the point where fielding infantry at all was a bad thing.

Faust/Fusilier's AT grenade, disable its engines. Make a slow tank even slower. Wheel in some Paks or Puppchens. Profit? Or use the old fashion Tank as counter strat. There's no way even an infantry blob (especially with grens) won't be able to get 1 or two faust off before a retreat. Not saying the KV-8 was overnerfed, but there are several effective counters against that unit.

lol srsly, KV-8 is slow? since when? I know it's not so fast like Halftracks but as a heavy tank its really fast and with good armor, it's even hard to penetrate it with AT nades

I haven't defended the KV8, but at speed 5.1...it's slower than the Brumbar, jagdpanzer, and SU85. It's marginally faster than a KV2 and about the same speed as an IS2, which are heavy tanks as well. Why are we arguing about facts now?
