I never said I have trouble defeating the KV-8 commander either and nobody ever said that it is unbeatable. Not unbeatable does not mean it is not overpowered.
The MG spam is not unbeatable (because otherwise Soviets as a faction would probably have 0% win rate) but it is overpowered. What part of that don't you understand when we talk about the KV-8 in the same regard?
I believe I repeatedly said in this thread that I agree that KV8 is overpowering and beast that is difficult to contain on the field for short period of time.
I dispute claims that it is instantly frying everything and that there is no escape from it. (doesn't happen to me, nor am I able to do it to any decent player)
KV8 is deliberately designed like that, that is why it costs so much fuel and handicaps Soviet player if it doesn't achieve complete domination and catches German player of guard.
It doesn't unbalance final outcome of the game and nerfing KV8 without improving that particular commander would result in that commander being just about useless (even with kv8 it is not very popular choice because it is not flexible and as I said its high risk/high gain tactic, more risk than gain ATM) at least I don't use it much, nor do I come across it very often
Now if you are demanding this commander's whole design and intended tactical use be changed because you don't like dealing with KV8, thats your right.
By all means do demand that it be nerfed, changed all altered any way you see fit.
Personally, I can't agree with that because for me it doesn't alter balance of game when playing vs KV8 (as annoying and frustrating as I find dealing with it)
I understand completely your point on the issue, I just don't agree overall
