Yesterday i played i 1v1. Me as Soviets against OKW. After 40 minutes the game seems to be at my favor, then... the KT arrives. I had 2 ZISs, 2 T34/76, Mines laid and AT Grenades. You think this would be enough? Of curse no. 12 shots from the ZISs, the KT laughed at them like this , NO Damage done. Of curse i lost the game.
Then i chatted with my opponent and he said "no Heavy's on your Doc?" I sad, "it would not matter anyway. He was right tho, i didn't have Call-ins because i chose"Soviet shock Army".

So, what is it that the Soviets have to do to Kill this freaking KT without Call-ins?
(is a rhetoric question btw)

Vision control and map awareness is the key to dealing with the KT without call-in tanks. The T70 (Recon mode) and vet 1 ZiS-3 gun ability is the key thing to utilize. I have been working just with Guard Rifle Combined Arms doctrine. Works a treat and I can see Shock Army being used to the same potential, but would be harder I believe. Hit the dirt is really makes conscripts incredibly cost effective against volk heavy based play.

The strafe or howizter is the key component when engaging the KT to remove any infantry/support from the KT, with a key focus on removing obserladten from the engagement. They burst down your Zis-3 guns at an incredibly high and reliable speed. They are greater threat than the KT itself a lot of times!

If you can not remove the infantry/support of the KT with these units then just keep your units out of range until you are in a favourable position.

Be aware of the direction the KT turret is currently facing and pop in and out with T34/T70 fire to further weaken there lines and allow your ZiS-3 guns to safely fire upon them. Always try keep a T34 near your Zis-3 guns as well to use the ram ability if the KT decides to go all-in or to stun it and give you the time to execute the finishing blow if it tries to reverse out.

Vision control along with 2 Zis-3 guns, mines, T34/T70, howizter or strafe is what you will need. Don't to forgot to listen in the fog of war as well. The KT is a loud beast.

Even easier, select the building, hit tab, right click where you want to exit.

Even easier again if your unit is on a control group. Select control group and right click where you want to exit.

Yeah I've had it happen twice since WFA release.

On top a friendly mine when it hit you?

Uploaded upon request of stream viewers. Utilizing just an old school Soviet tactic with 5 cons ppsh and T2/T3 combined arms. I think cost effectively it performs better than USF at the moment when you compare BAR Rifle squads

Some really epic hero T-34 rams on Panthers, not to mention the birth of the strafe/howi propoganda!
