The kt's armor has been reduced froom 425 to 375(same as is-2), based on reality the kt has 25-185mm armor(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiger_II), and the is-2 has 60-110 armor(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IS_tank_family#IS-2).
That put the kt of being penetratable to even 75mm guns trought the front, couldnt relic just add to usf m6 pershing?
It is just unfair, and they also reduced the obers and sturmpionners damage from 8 to 6, but not the costs.
Also, they didnt reduced the kt cost, nor the turret rotation speed, nor its top speed. Aint its rear armor already too weak, it could already be countered by other means.

Realism < balance. Nuff said.

Also: Relic did not nerf Sturmpioneers. Only Ober StGs and LMGs received a damage reduction.

Rear armor: 225. That's pretty much actually. Enough to deflect a few shells.

yes, but couldnt they give the usf an m6 pershing instead of reducing the kt's frontal armor?

The kt is not weak, but yes its an easy target when encountered alone.
What i am trying to say is that why did they reduced the kt armor, but they didnt modified any of his weakness to compenss the armor reduction, or instead of reducing the armor, add na m6 pershing to the usf.

I think the KT was barely viable pre-patch and is absolutely not viable this patch, considering the current potency of tank hunters. (Excluding 3v3 and 4v4)


I wish they would significantly reduce the unnecessary high splash damage (because if you really want to one-shot groups of infantry leave that to specialized units à la Sturmtiger or Brummbär) and give it more armor in return or make at least the spearhead ability somewhat useful.

Change your mentality while playing. Kt should be a game-finisher, not a last moment saving angel. So kt supported with an established army during the game = gg. Kt is fine as it is.

Well, I guess Relic should now balance all tanks based on how they perform when encontered alone, right?
How is that even be counted as an excuse to having overbuffed stats like 425 frontal armor?
