Also, its IRL turret traverse was remarkably fast for such a large turret, with only 19 seconds for a full rotation and down to 10 seconds if the engine was pushed to the limit.
For comparison Shermans did it in 15 and most modern MBTs have ~9-12.

You can have heaviest tank with underpowered engine and overweight turret in WW2 or you can have one with decent mobiliy and turret traverse.
You can't and won't have both.
Not in one package.

15-20 range is normal for snares. Not 0
Tested KT
https://www.twitch.tv/videos/344835886
Test #1: All units stationary, range 50
Test #2: Squads moving, KT stationary, range 50
Test #3: KT moving, squads stationary, range 50
Test #4: KT and squads moving, KT avoiding snare
Test #5: KT engine crit speed comparison with moving squad, Jackson attacking.

U have no clue how fast this turrent traverse was, my friend. IT was really superfast for this time.
Maybe it's 'cause the Axis players aren't a bunch of forum crybabies, and they keep their cool and fight the uphill battle, unlike some of their "allied" counterparts.

But I have a clue about balance in PC games.
And a gun that does 50% more damage then most other while having similar reload wouldn't be balanced if it was allowed fast tracking as well.

And pls do one thing:
tell us the cost to get a KT and compare it with other expansive tanks. Than include the lack of caches for okw. and than we talk again about balance, price and performanche from KT. thats why u nearly never see it in Tourenements...

King Tiger had the same hp/ton as the Pershing, having a 700hp maybach engine. It also had over 15 degrees per second of turret traverse compared to the pre war levels of the is2 with only 10 degrees.
We already know you have no clue of how these machine performed, from crane reload of the sturmtiger to the "underpower" tiger engine, and realism isn't a balance argument.
Just stick to trying to provoke Vipper will ya ?

1) Learn to edit your posts
2) 720mp, 260f. Teching isn't exclusive side tech that unlocks exclusively one unit and is a matter of timing the unit, not the cost. Lack of caches is irrelevant, just scavenge wrecks. Don't complain that faction that is supposed to struggle for fuel struggles for fuel.
And you nearly never see it in tournaments, because there is no point to it there, it isn't how tournament level players work, hell Tiger isn't being used in tournaments and its in strongest state it ever was.
You know why is that? Because in tournaments all resources your banking and saving for later are not on the field, doing the work and contrary to your sub 500-700 rank automatch game, on tournament level you need to put constant pressure and you can't do that with 13+cp end tech units (unless its brummbar durrrr hurrrr), because if you don't, opponent will and will push you off the map, as we can clearly see in literally any 1v1 tournament.
Now, VonIvan got it to vet5 couple of weeks ago and KT clearly carried that 2v2 game.

The King Tiger costs 280 fuel.
Are you even serious about scavanging? No way is that comparable to caches. In a very good match one can maybe scavange 4-5 things max, giving 20-25 fuel. That's nothing compared to the constant +3/min that a cache gives.
OKW is not supposed to struggle for fuel since the faction was redesigned. The fact that they will get the 223 next patch is proof of that.

Oh, and i thought KT is 260 fuel))) I never take it when i play OKW, not because it's very expensive, but because i just don't need it.
But 280 fuel is too much for this unit. Maybe 250 is fine.

I'm not getting KT, because I don't like having most of my fuel concentrated into a singular unit(unless its JT). Panther does so much better and one thing I'd consider getting KT for, assisting vs infantry, it doesn't do. Same for IS-2(that moment when KV-2 is better then IS-2). I'm also aggressive in my playstyle, so slow units do not really cut it for me.

Shouldnt the KT a spearhead, which means: attack with them as a frontswine and have an adavantage to get it/ attack with it? But in real coh2 it is a shot on the own knee, u need to repair it more than it is on the front. And also we seen in the video that it cant wipe like it should, have no range to counter armor, is slow as fu** and need babysitting like 1 day old baby on the front

2 P4s have similar cost and far greater firepower.
Panther+P4 does what KT does, but better and if you repair one, other can be in action, so you always have armor presence.
And KT isn't supposed to wipe anything, if you missed the memo for last 2 years, not even nuke "shoot once a minute" weapons aren't supposed to wipe reliably unless you score pinpoint accurate hit.
It could be more reliable vs inf together with IS-2, but neither is supposed to be wiping anything. Brummbar but with AT capabilities is not needed.

wouldnt u agree that the KT shouldnt make a bigger fear to infantery ..than we seen in the video...i mean..it totally miss all the time and need nearly a min to solve the job. this isnt nearly a "infantery - fear" even a p4, HEAT Sherman, t34 could do it better...

The speed of rotation of the IS-2 turret was 13–16 ° per second, that is, a full turn of the tower required 22–28 s.

Bullshit, it was 8-10 degrees per second
