Can't speak for the others, but I personally want the KT for Wehrmacht becasue a) it's a cool tank b) it would allow for a drastically different playstyle compare to OKW.
What do I mean by that? It's much to compile a large tank force with WM than it is with OKW. For example, it's much easier to back up a KT with StuGs than it is with JP4s or even Panthers.
I'd also argue that there was no necessity for OKW to get a Tiger I, but they did. Seems only fair WM would at some point get a KT.
I'm not sure if you've seen my concepts for reworks of the OKW and Ost Luftwaffe doctrines but either way here they are:
They look pretty similar to what you're suggesting.
But yeah definitely a Luftwaffe ground forces sort of unit using the Ostheer Artillery crew models could work. 5 man squad that can build and be semi-effective in combat at long range thanks to their rifles.
Another thing I thought about was maybe giving them access to the OKW's Flak HT? Possibilities are (almost) endless and pretty interesting.
Love these. Do you plan on making a Mobile Defense concept?
he went t4 for pwerfer and then spammed stugs vs is2 lol.
Those Stugs would have killed the IS2 had VonIvan not backed out and then re-engaged. And even then it was RNG more than anything else that saved the IS2.
The moment Von went T4 he lost his momentum because it alleviated the pressure on Luvnest. You could see that was the point where Luvnest came back.
And that's precisely what Dane and others have been saying about T4. For what it costs you it just doesn't offer enough. Instead it slows down your pressure and gives your opponent the chance to come back.
The panther actually matches up poorly with the IS2 even if you factor in the difference in Mp/Fuel. An IS2 for only ~5 more popcap is anti everything squad wiping, but still beats the panther. Neither can really kill each other due to the high hp, but the Is2 will continue to have a large impact vs infantry regardless of the panther, unless it in fact blasting the panther.
The panther on the other hand is basically an MG platform vs infantry. It could probably have slightly stronger mg's now that the cost is all the way up at 185 Fuel (I remember when it was like 145, though it does have OKW mgs now?). It seems relatively good when compared to mediums or other TD's but the panther is in a peculiar spot vs heavies b/c its your "best" counter but its not actually a great counter.
Does anybody else have thoughts on the panther vs heavy Matchup?
