Also they still provide quite a punch.

I understand however that a lot of OKW players are used to use them like terminators and it will take some time to adjust and discover their true potential.

Well, they exist to fight things like Shocks and Para's or stop rifleblobs. They don't really have any utility like the call in infantry do. As far as most units go they are extremely straight forward.

Dude, blitzkrieg.

They nerfed it remember?

Acceleration has been reduced from 60% to 30%
Combat Blitz ability speed bonus modifier has been reduced from 2 to 1.4

Here are the movement stats to if your wondering

IS2:

Deceleration:
2.4
On ice accel decel multiplier:
0.6
Acceleration:
1.7
Max:
5.0

KT:

Deceleration:
1.8
On ice accel decel multiplier:
0.6
Acceleration:
1.4
Max:
3.8

"Just flank" Kappa

But seriously, if 375 isn't enough for a frontal assault, then by that logic there's nothing in the Allied arsenal that's good enough for a frontal assault.

Except the 375 frontal armor tank for Allies has far higher speed making it able to get out of the range of enemy AT much faster. And again this "Krupp" steel meme is stupid because now with the new patch the Jackson is arguably the most cost effective TD in the game, it deserves to be very good, but that also means you don't get to bitch about using it to kill shit anymore.

The chances of penning a KT with a Jackson are higher than penning a IS2 with a JPIV, which doesn't have HVAC shells.

Me neither. Fortunately, compensating for fuel income is wrong when discussing unit effectiveness, it only factors when discussing unit timing, therefore we can stay at "slightly".

I don't see people waive all the goodies OKW gets to compensate for the resource penalty by faction design, such as better specialist units (Stuka, JPIV, Obers), 5 levels of veterancy, and the option to set up forward bases. You can't embrace all that and then still complain about the resource penalty and factor it in when trying to compare, say, the KT to the IS2.

A 100 fuel OKW vehicle should be equivalent to a 100 fuel Ostheer/Allied vehicle, NOT a 150 fuel one. End of story.

All that said, I will agree with the call-in problem in general.

Except the tier requirements for the KT means it's normally the last heavy tank to hit the field except for maybe the Jadgtiger thanks to the fact you need to fully teching and sitting around waiting for KT with no armor is suicidal versus a good opponent.

The "better unit" thing is great, but that said units are all more expensive than their allied counterparts it makes sense that they would be more effective. The rational for the reduced income is that you get more costly units, therefore you will have less of them, therefore they should be more effective than ones you can spam.

The 100 fuel OKW vehicle is equivalent to the 100 fuel Ostheer/Allied vehicle, the PIV Ausf J anyone?

Jawohl?'s post

The Jackson has a higher chance to pen the KT's armor with higher damage than the JPIV does with lower damage.

JPIV: 200.0/185.0/170.0

Jackson: 240.0/220.0/200.0

KT bouncing 4-5 shells in a row is not something rare. It's common.

Okay? And this is an issue? Because the KT's lack of mobility means it has to sit in the line of fire longer. If the IS2 had to move at the KT's speed it would deserve the KT's armor.

If you have played the game lately the increased Fuss spam is probably symptomatic of people figuring out that 6 men hard to wipe squads > 4 men easy to wipe squads.

Obers are weak to indirect fire and massed infantry, before they were weak to indirect fire and massed infantry. Not really much has changed here.

yep. old hill331. base area size of a 1v1 map and add to that mud in every freaking way to the combat. rzhev winter, having vast area as ice... the same area which is the centre of action. nice one relic. in a game where flow is important, these hindrances are more of an annoyance than cool/well thoughout features that justifies adaptations.

rostov's problems: imbalances, chokepoints, artyfest, campfest, no maneuverability etc etc.

sittard's problems: chokepoints, artyfest, campfest, no maneuverability etc etc.

they sure have many things in common.

Yeah, the biggest issue it shares as well is with Angermunde, these giant lanes that form the perfect target zones for Elefats/ISU/Jadgtiger.
