Cool. What do soviets get to fight off elephant with its great range?
And Panther have more then enough armor to shrug off that SU-85 single shell until it gets within firing range.
Can T34 and IS-2 have blitz too? You know... elephant again.
- Elefant is doctrinal (like Volsky said - no need to be sarcastic about it).
- Su-85 is present in almost any game, the Elefant not to that extend(1v1, 2v2).
- For the resource cost of an Elefant you can get 2 SU-85s (and a bit more). This might not sound like much, but the fact those can cover each other makes up for a lot.
- By the time an Elefant hits the field, there usually should be enough tanks around. The first Su-85 usually arrives by the time the first Panzer IV arrives.
- Elefants are super slow, even slower than the Su-85. The Elefant along the ISU-152 is actually the easiest vehicle to flank in the game, as it´s super clumsy.
- There is ram already and one ram to the side or rear of an Elefant will render it useless. As soon as it has an engine damage it´s toast.
- Ram is vet0, Blitz is not.
