Deflection should lower armor strength instead of doing damage.
Fighting against such armored tanks like KT you will get a lot of deflections which could be useful in lowering armor strength so later you could easily penetrate it.
USA's player did really well with his forward ambulance + 50 cal, the Soviets were performing awesome flank games while OKW and Wermach were sitting ducks, hoping that Luftwaffe will save them. Did they survive? Did they lose? See for yourself in the replay.
In this replay you will see is2's , kt's , jacksons and game changing panthers.
Enjoy
