FRP- Why should I believe you when video/live game/replay/my games vs OKW show me the opposite?
Volks- RM shock troops? show us how you do, as far as I know RM lose vs anything considered as shock troop in a close quarter combat. They are versatile like volks but still I don't know where you want to go with this comparison, are you or not denying volks being good versatile mainline unit? If yes explain, and telling me "because RM are versatile isn't really an answer, both are. No then you agree with me and same here I don't understand your comparison with RMs. Kubel after 5 minutes? You already capped half of the map before 5 minutes, more than enough to pay the kubel, past 5 minutes every minute is an extra bonus for you.
Why are you trying to suggest that I'm always losing vs KT and try to patronize me? Don't you have more intelligent comments to propose? Do I ask your skill level to respond to me?
As I said before, you can build your HQs in your base sector and they'll be safe as any other faction ones. you decide to not, its a strategic decision I agree on but I disagree that this decision giving you a good advantage on the battlefield early and midgame let you go as if nothing happened if you lose your HQ when the KT is about to come.
I do not overestimate the KT, the KT is the best stock unit in-game or you can prove I'm wrong, in term of generalist tank (AI-AT), it is only behind the Tiger Ace which is doctrinal and somewhat equal to the IS-2 (doctrinal as well) depending how you want to read their stats. So no, I do not overestimate it, I put it at his place, neither higher nor below.
Sorry if you fell suggested to be patronized or diminished, was not the case
Let's reconsider all the argumentation from the begining.
From what you wrote i had the feeling that being able to build a KT in any normal game is a problem (which is what led me to understand that you have a problem dealing with a KT)
From my point of view, you are already suffering enough of the loss a truck ( whole tier unit denying) to be punished even more with beeing denied your T5 unit.
Plus dealing with a KT is not a problem from my POV, given you have not been outplayed, you have the right tools to do it in any game. And i feel this is not a out of jail card at all. More like an end game unit, after all he just paid 700 MP +310 fuel to get one. Count what you have with that.
