You're absolutely spot on – the King Tiger feels like a huge letdown right now, especially when it’s supposed to be the apex predator of German armor. The whole point of investing in the King Tiger is to get something that can hold its own against whatever the Allies throw at it, but instead, we’re seeing it flounder against everything from dedicated TDs to massed infantry with anti-tank options. It’s frustrating because the King Tiger should feel like a powerhouse, not a burden. Not?!
I think your proposed buffs make a lot of sense, particularly the movement speed and reload time. Even a modest speed increase would give it a fighting chance to position effectively without feeling like it’s always two steps behind the action. That alone could give it a lot more survivability, making it feel less like an easy target. Amirite?
The armor scaling suggestion is on point, too. The King Tiger should definitely have some resilience against lighter AT options – if it’s supposedly the king of the battlefield, it shouldn't get shredded by anything with an anti-tank designation. A bit more durability on its flanks and rear would be huge, especially when you consider how expensive it is to deploy. No one wants to see their "endgame" tank torn apart by Shermans and rear shots from weaker weapons. What a joke!
A recon ability or a flare option could add some much-needed versatility as well. It’d fit the narrative of the King Tiger being a battlefield presence, rather than just an oversized target. Even something simple, like a stationary vision boost, would let players plan and anticipate better.
Lastly, you’re right about the cost. As it stands, the King Tiger is just too pricey for what it brings to the table, especially when it gets countered so easily. Either reducing its cost or improving its survivability would go a long way in making it feel like a worthwhile investment.
Totally agree – the King Tiger should be a feared unit. Right now, it feels like we’re paying a premium for a tank that just doesn’t live up to its legendary status. Buffing it in these ways would finally let it live up to the reputation and give OKW players a real reason to deploy it. Make coh2 great again
When you say 'You', do you mean me or donofsandiego? I mean give the guy a break, he already permabanned al chinese players. What more can he do to please you?
Let me clarify my initial reply in a more serious manner
Do you believe the issue you seemingly want solved, would be best presented at an almost dead community driven forum with no current official ties to Relic whatsoever?
Your best option here is to go to the officials Coh2 forums or to Relics Discord to voice your problem to the people that can actually deal with the problem at hand, or at least provide u with an answer that isnt based on conjecture
Is this one of those Vetlolcake/Vipper/Reverb aliases?
Quick look through ur post history seems you've had longer standing issues with the Chinese people. At this point, i'd say your best bet is to contact the Embassy in Beijing and not hope for the coh2.org forum warriors to alleviate your problems
That is what I enjoy the most about being banned from Coh. I dont need to be a dick and try to hurt Relic. They will do it themselves just like they always do.
I could make 20 accounts, VPN, and hack all day long being toxic to kill off the user base. But Relic will do it for me. In fact, I am the one asking them not to hurt themselves instead of being the dick.
Who is the more level headed mature person?
It's becoming a bit sad now Rosbone. You are contradicting yourself and you can't even see it through the manifested resentment towards everything Relic. Please for your own peace of mind - move on and focus on positive, new, other things. Use your talents for something good, something new, and something that fuels your creativity instead of communicating depressing stuff like this which ultimately leads nowhere.
