We want to completely avoid the no-brainer effect that occurs in 1v1 late-game, where demo planted on a flag = free wipe.

But Obers Booby trap remains the same?

Maybe if you played OKW (or any other faction for that matter) you might have a more well rounded and respectable position on this. As it stands you have a reputation for being a Brit fanboy, only ever arguing for improvements to the Brit factions position.

KT is strong, but of all the allied factions, Brits have the best counters to it.

Wrong, I advocated for the comet nerf, I want a light gammon bomb nerf, I want double bren tommies to be fixed, I want to see a change to brace. Playing only 1 faction != being a blind fan boi of said faction (I did play USF for many many hours and play a few OST games now and again but everyone seems to ignore that side of things).

If that last statement is your answer to something being broken, then OKW have the best counters to any unit any allied faction can field, right? KT/Jag/(CMD)Panther for any tanks, Obers/Falls for any infantry, LEIG for any indirect, Flame nades for any MG's, Puma for any Light vehicle, Searchlight for any cloaked units. Sounds a little.... much doesn't it, so allies shouldn't get any changes ever as OKW has the best counters to them?

I don't think you know what you are talking about when you describe the Pershing as having paper armour when it has 300, the same as a Tiger

Tigers are reliably consistent to pen, but the real question here seems to be... would you rather a KT or a Pershing?

Can we also not forget that I made a post here about the Pak 43 vs the 17PDR and because the 17PDR was non doc it deserved to be much weaker, why does that same logic not seem to be applying here? Strange that.

So like any other heavy tank in the game?

All in all there is little substance to your argument that it deserves a penalty other than just opinion. It is no harder to take out than any other well supported unit in the game, just get a tank destroyer and learn how to kite.

To some extent that is true, but there is only so many times a FF can bounce off a KT before you start to get annoyed, I've had a firefly bounce 5 shots in a row (happened in one of my recent stream) off a KT's armour. Yes it was close to max range but if I moved any closer I would get shot, fausted then killed.

Every other comment that adds nothing to the conversation, why bother typing? Disagree with me all you want, but at least have the mental ability to contribute to the topic or just keep silent, this isn't the steam forums last I checked, don't stoop to that level please.

Similar to the Tiger Ace maybe but not as strong? As it stands now it's a tank that has no negative impact on the player. It's very difficult to destroy from a decent player and even vs an average player it can be painful to play against.

It takes a lot of combined arms to kill and the massive amount of HP and armour is a ball ache to whittle down (Then get insta repaired by sturms). It can be built when you have teched up regardless if all buildings are up, they just have to be deployed - Another issue.

If you kill the schwer you know a KT will come along (Usually with a command panther), where is the punishment for losing the building? KT Should require all buildings Up at least, not just teched. In theory they save themselves a lot of fuel by not having to rebuild the schwer.

It's not like OKW is starved anymore so what's the excuse for not needing all buildings up? When you kill the schwer you have to prepare for the KT, how do you do this? By getting tank destroyers, the problem here is however that with OKW having decent infantry scale, by the time you can build a tank, you don't want to be building an AT vehicle, you need AI so you have a choice... build several mediums and hope none of them die to invisible AT guns + snares or save up for a couple of tank destroyers that do nothing against infantry with knowing that you can at least scare away the KT

OKW are very strong early game, strong mid game and very powerful late game, the army composition without the KT is already very strong, yet when the KT comes onto the field it just wreaks havoc.

I would much rather the KT need all buildings present than a tiger ace style income decrease, but at this point, I would take any just so I know that as soon as I kill the KT, it's not just going to be called in again after I lost several tanks and AT guns in the fight to kill it. Because remember, games can last an awful long time, and when no new tanks are being made due to the schwer being destroyed, the OKW player is just saving up fuel for a new KT should the current one fail.
