King Tiger - Is it worth buying?

The turret was driven by an electric rotary mechanism or manually. When the drive was in operation, the maximum rotation speed of the turret reached 2.4 turns per minute.

The speed of rotation of the IS-2 turret was 13-16 ° per second, that is, 22-28 s was required for a full rotation of the turret. The electric drive allowed to turn the turret with the engine shut off and the tank roll to 15 °. The hand drive allowed the turret to be rotated at a roll of 8.3 ° with a force of 16 kgf. For comparison, the German heavy tanks had a hydraulic or manual turret drive. The speed of rotation of the turret hydraulically dependent on the number of revolutions of the engine (that is, when the engine was inactive, the hydraulic drive was useless), being in the range from 5 to 19 ° per second. Reports on studies of German heavy tanks in Kubinka claim that the hydraulic drive is complicated and cumbersome, and its management is inconvenient.

What source ?

You see the word Kubinka - test reports, also from the book by I. Zheltov and others. Tanks IS. Combat use. And in all Russian sources it is these numbers. If the IS-2 is a Soviet tank, then most likely that Russian sources are truer than yours.

1) Kubinka crap have deen disproved by Aberdeen tests
2) What tells me those are your source ? Link me those tests or a direct report
All you did was copy paste a forum post, it can be seen a mile away.

Can you read Russian? And to be honest, I do not see the point in arguing with you that you will refute all the facts you have been given. I use Russian sources you use others. And they will be different.
Show Spoiler

You give me an example of a book of a foreigner, but this is a Soviet tank, in all Russian books 2.4 revolutions per minute are written. I have noticed for a long time incorrect data in the attitude of the Russian / Soviet weapons from foreign sources.
So for example, in all Foreign Sources, Fedorov’s Avtomat has 450 rounds per minute for technical documents and instructions for soldiers written during the First World War. It has 600 rounds per minute.
So sorry your info is bullshit.

Of course "foreign sources" are incorrect and obscure russian site and wikipedia got it right.

I get it.
Thanks for the enlightment.

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.

Let's try not to bash people when we present data that may be different from what you're accustomed to.

Likewise, keep an open mind to all information--treat it as plausible (or even true) unless proven wrong. Don't shoot it down just because it does not comply with your previously acquired knowledge.

Also, CoH2 is a game with historical flavor, not historical accuracy. I would argue that historical accuracy is not a very good reason to tweak game balance.

Try to stay on topic, and keep it civil.

Can you be any more ignorant?

But once more: KT is less reasonable in much szenarios than a IS2. make it great again. it should be the lategame nondoc armor and infantery counter which OKW lacks.

Is there any real difference between more accuracy and less scatter?
