Its always been like that, so its definitely not a ninja.

You don't need spearhead mode, just vet3.

Actually tested it again, seems it only works when you are in spearhead mode.

Then its just a feature of spearhead, not veterancy, since it gets unlocked at vet3

But that it supresses on vet 3 in spearhead, never noticed. Now if I get a vet 3 Tiger I'll use it :D

This is kinda tricky IIRC.
There is/used to exist an invisible coaxial MG on the KT which could suppress. Then i'm not sure if this was fixed or not and the suppression moved to the hull one.

Spearhead
+50% sight, -25% rotation speed, MG's will deal 2% suppression

I really like this on the Tiger. It makes it feel very threatening, but only comes very late. It also accentuates the weaknesses in the unit while improving on its strengths.

The fact that Soviet vet 1 on medium and heavy tanks is stupid is well known. Obviously the IS2 and KV2 should never even have been tested with capture point. They both deserve far better.

Oh, you mean you need something like this?
https://coh2db.com/bulletins/view/id/276/name/massacre


I actually used that one before (in completely different patch) and it worked back then :D nothing OP just gave the suppression but with some micro it made kiting at nades easier. Now I guess the power creep went so far that ostwind is not worth building in ostheer tree, neither it is worth upgrading with bulletins. But ostwind rush was once a valid build, especially with first iteration of super cheap ostruppen.

I said the increased suppression KT bulletin would be useless mainly becouse its on a unit that comes when most matches are already decided and also needs vet3 and usage of ability to have any effect.
