It's time to nerf OKW late game

I really enjoyed that game. I feel the combo of Jackon's and IS2's is great. However, as one of the other posters said previously we literally had to throw the kitchen sink at them to down those tanks. I'm looking for a caster to cast the replay. I learnt something that game as well. Combat Engineers kind of blow at repairs. My armor was kept off the field longer because of repairs compared to the KT's. If it weren't for Romeo lending out his crews I would have been off the field even longer than long which is super long.

Would you mind uploading that replay?

There were at the same time 2 KT and 1 Tiger protected by PAK40 and MGs. If you play well enough it's just impossible to lose using that. Those KT were used really poorly and they kept bouncing shots everytime but Romeo didn't use Armor Piercing rounds on their Jacksons and AT guns so probably they wouldn't have bounced that much.

I think they saved the replay, they should upload it to show the people that don't believe KT is really too strong. They bounced shots from 2 AT Gun 57mm, 2 Jacksons while the IS-2 was shooting and P-47 too...that was ridiculous.

You have too spend too much resources to barely damage it and then they run and receive instant repair with Sturmpionneers.

late game, germans have best of the everything. best infantry, best support weapons, best tanks, best tank destroyers, best artilleries, etc etc.

this is it really...; not just KT, Tiger, Pak, or MGs but so many other german units late game.

late game, germans have best of the everything. best infantry, best support weapons, best tanks, best tank destroyers, best artilleries, etc etc. that is the biggest problem in 3v3+. while germans get best of everything late game and get stronger, allies have to keep inflicting damage on them while preserving units because caches will help germans replenish just as fast as allies.

Just watched. M36 deflected off the rear of a KT WHILE USING AT ROUNDS. That's not right, not right at all.

Why is King tiger spam a thing? It shouldn't be a thing. This is why we need fuel upkeep. Every time one died he just replaced it.

I think it's a 3v3, 4v4 issue more than anything. Team games seem utterly broken and have been for a while, I don't know why Relic hasn't addressed it.

It's no wonder they won the war.

Some people here will only be quiet if T-34s reliably beat Panthers etc... Someone has to have a late game advantage. It has always been the Germans in Coh1 and it was no problem.

What kind of shit argument is that? In a war of attrition you can have the better stuff but get outnumbered and lose.

Best MG of the war: MG42
Best handheld AT: Panzerfaust
Best tank: Arguably the Panther
Best SPG: StuG

LOL my god you are funny....

War of attrition... and yet we have these decisive victories such as Stalingrad, Kursk, Bagration, etc


And LOL about your comments on best tnaks and SPGs. Sure German tnaks looked good on paper with the number of tank's destroyed, thickness of armor, caliber of gun, etc, but many of their supposed "best tanks" suffered from many issues. These issues like logistical problems, weight, mechanical errors, economics. engineering, etc etc are not even captured in the game!!!

This game only captures their best aspects while leaving out their worst. That is why you have these ridiculous KTs and Jagdtigers pwning allied tanks without the drawbacks of weight, mechanical failures, underpowered engines.
