KV1-Useless?

The armour is really what makes this unit interesting compared with the T-34, because other than that they are identical. The only real reason why one would want to use this is if they're either trying to have a laugh, or need a T-34 but didn't build T3 yet.

I think different abilities and upgrades would have made this tank more useful if not versatile. Heck I think the KV-8s that some commanders deploy should have been the KV-1 and the flamer as an upgrade. Barring that, the KV-1 could have the 85mm gun as upgrade to make it more viable in late-game matches and convert it to an AT role.

I uset too roll this time all the time when I went counterattack heavy.

But yeah, it does suck 1v1 on even a panzer, but is scary in groups of three and scary with vet. I do find that you have to use the armor bulliten if you plan on heavly useing this.

So yeah, main problem is how much resources you have to pump into these things to get the numbers to be useful.

KV-1 is great for crushing!

KV-1 is a good tank to support your infantry or neutralize enemy infantry targets. With a KV-1 you can defend strategic points or locations.

The KV1 is a heavily armored T34, more or less. Get SU85s and use the KV1 as a spotter or a meat shield since that's pretty much what you need it for. The main point of this commander is the B4, which is only useful if the opponents were stupid enough to not pick a commander with recon and Stuka Bombing Strike.

There are only three Ostheer commanders that have recon and stuka bombs and only one of those is meta. OkW doesn't have either. However it's counter by more than just stuka dive bomb

But in true Relic fashion, still relevant.

SHOUT IT OUT!

KoRneY: @aerafield It's possible that it is underpriced for what it is capable of now, no need to go full retard and take it immediately as a massive problem. It costs 60 more MP than a pz.3 and in 2v2 the barrage can be quite strong.

OKSpitfire: I do like that they made the Stuka more expensive instead of nerfing it into the ground though. Found it pretty unsatisfying to use before that buff a while back....

aerafield: USF already is by far the shittiest faction in terms of countering blobbing and turtling, now they supposedly have one overtuned tool locked behind a BG and it's immediately a massive problem?

Lady Xenarra: I think post-2.0 Whizbang buffs, the price is too low esp since the Stuka got nerfed in cost too. Speaking of which, how exactly is one supposed to successfully dive this Sherman in disguise? Med tank spam running into SSFs?

Lady Xenarra: WTB Whizzbang for DAK instead of Stuka, 5 fuel cheape, 60MP more expensive and next to impossible to dive.

Rosbone: It is also hard to expect Relic to help Coh2 when they cant even make working menus in Coh3 yet, 2 years after release and at full price+ for DLCs. Thats like asking a fish to do calculus.
Last Tuesday, 02:58 AM

Rosbone: But this last patch has made good progress for grabbing players. All we can hope is Coh3 gets to Coh2s quality level before everyone abandons the franchise. Its Relic so they will completely f*%k it up as usual. But its a hope/cope.
Last Tuesday, 02:55 AM

Rosbone: Relic wants Coh2 to fail so players will migrate to Coh3. It is hard to blame them since Coh3 sucks so bad. It needs all the help it can get.

aerafield: @OKSpitfire tbh I find it quite challenging to get the Pershing in time, having to suffer through the CoH3 tickrate and this endless bullshit meta of massive blobs going back and forth to the forward heal truck

OKSpitfire: Well... going to be seeing the Pershing a lot for a little while, that thing is a monster.
