For all these comparisons to the IS2. We know relic is aware of the call in dominated meta. So this kt change might make perfect sense once the IS2 requires teching as well.
But KT is still a beast, especially on smaller maps. Maybe not as your first unit but once you have a Jagdpanzer on support with it it is brutal.
Blitz change was good, jackson change was good, maybe slighgty overdone and armor could be put to 400. BUT KT still murders infantry and that is the biggest problem wiht OKW. shrecks and raketen can deal with su85s and jacksons
Nobody is saying the KT is shit, what the issue is the KT isn't nearly as good as a combined arms army using the massive fuel investment it takes to get a KT. If I want to deal with enemy infantry I have a plentiful amount of options.
Panthers with Pak43 support, and a Sturmtiger will get you far more bang for your buck that a KT will. Similarly a Jadgtiger with support is a much wiser investment as well, it's also a call in.
The reason the IS2 and call in meta is broken is you don't need to make that investment choice since you get to skip teching. |
it's pretty good at killing HQ trucks, that's about it
It takes forever to land unless you're on the map edge
It comes in as fast as any of the bombing runs, and most of the maps are small enough were it hits pretty fast.
It hits over a MASSIVE zone to, for how much it costs it's really, really good. Salvage is also borderline broken. |
You could remove the T̶a̶n̶k̶ ̶H̶u̶n̶t̶e̶r̶ Light Vehicle Hunter commander and I wouldn't care. It was garbage before and now it's a stupid 1v1 gimmick commander.
Yea the AT bombing run is not powerful at all.
Are you kidding me, the salvage is incredibly good and the anti tank bombing run shreds tanks AND infantry. |
Actually, PTRS shots can't scatter into hitting another infantry entity.
In fact, no ballistic weapon can, scatter hits happen by hitting big target(vehicle) or by AoE(infantry).
It can scatter into a crew weapon, which is why it's so good versus them. You already have a very high chance to hit the enemy crew due to the 25% more received accuracy, and then on top of that if you miss the crew you can still scatter and hit the very large object the crew is manning. |
@OP I also lol'd.
Also seriously, mods can you ban Alex? This thread is a perfect example of a larger issue. He is not contributing to the discussion in any meaningful way but the topic has largely been consumed by trying to answer ridiculous hypothetical scenarios.
How am I not contributing when literally 60% of the posts in this thread are just "lol". Also lol at this post. |
No it isn't.
Not in any fashion.
It is slower, and it costs as much as 2 IS2's thanks to teching. |
Pound is a unit of weight.
Kg is a unit of weight.
Both are used to describe the same thing, except one is internationally unified unit and other one is 'MURIKA FUCK YEAH! because fuck the world.
Pound to kg relation is 2 to 1.
You are a moron.
How does this have any baring on what I said.
|
I can push a car that weight 500-600 KG easily.
Running with full barrow also isn't something impossible for average joe.
Wheel is such a great invention.
lol do you seriously think pounds = kg |
It is still against faction design. Making exceptions with certain units isn't going to improve balance in the long run. When you design faction as a whole, all of its units should retain every trait of it.
Think of it like polymorphism in IT. When you create a parent class (Vehicle), all child classes (M20, Sherman) use parent class' methods (Drive, Shoot, Bail Out).
Except the Priest is an artillery piece, and every faction has "exceptions". The JPIV is an exception for OKW, which doesn't get medium tanks for instance.
The reason pop cap abuse is so problematic with the Priest is that your only ever paying for it for the very short amount of time it's barraging, the rest of the time you can just have it decrewed. |

The KT just needs a cost reduction or a speed increase, not much other than that tbh. Really the biggest issue it faces that it's so insanely slow that you much, much better off spending the pop cap and fuel on getting a more diverse army than having a KT.
It was fine before though, the Jackson got buffed, and Soviet's didn't have an issue facing it before.
400 armor would be more reasonable. |
