Kingtiger can arrive at 10 minutes in 2v2 when played right
Do you have a replay of that? Even with fueldrops from Ost mate its impossible also since he cant spend all his manpower on fueldrops since he need a army too.
That's it.
If I play as Axis, especially as Ost, seeing a Bofor makes me really, REALLY happy.
Get a Halftrack, equip it with double flamethrowers, smoke the bofors with a mortar and fuck it up.
You get to Vet 3 almost immediately and the Brit has NOTHING he can do against your HT.
Talking about 1v1 here as most people in this thread do.
Until you encounter a competent opponent that knows how to attack ground with Bofors.
The fact that people are arguing that a one click ability in a doctrine with free recon that can shut down an entire army isn't op is just mind boggling.
Arty cover is the definition of 1-click-win-abbility I wont go so far that it has the same level of OPness as CAS back in the days when it had selfspotting and was targeting armor + infantry, but it should be toned down either by reducing AoE or only target armor/infantry.
