What's the deal with the KT these days? It never received any buffs in the last years as far as I remember and got really hard nerfs.
It's clumsy, slow, has awful maneuvrability (English can be hard sometimes, wow) and its range is also pretty bad. It is somehow the counterpart to the IS2, stronger, but slower (and I don't feel like every shot bounces of my KT all the time, though it has higher armour afaik, but that is probably a Axis player placebo effect
).
Jacksons are great against a KT. Most Allied tank destroyers outrange it by far (SU85, Jackson, Firefly). Yesterday I almost lost a game against a Soviet player that played that sucky Soviet commander with the DshKa (which is one of the most awful commanders in the whole game), only because he had a Vet3 SU85 parked at the VP impaling my KT like Long Dong Silver (and probably because I suck, but that's not the topic atm).
Even a single M10 can kill a KT without a single bit of damage. A supported King Tiger is a beast, but that's your fault then because a KT costs immense amounts of ressources which are mostly needed to refresh troops as OKW.
Also the P47 makes every KT retreat immediately as it gets massive damage from the rockets shooting at its rear.
It's not about killing the King Tiger, the KT gets vet as slow as a turtle (I once had a 100 kills KT close to Vet 2) and there can only be one at a time, blocking 24 pop. You have to make it retreat. Let the KT advance, beat the devil out of it and make it retreat again.
