Played a 4 v 4 where we Germans held 1 of the fuel points while the Russians held the other one.
We completely dominated the early and part of the mid game and probably the only mistake we made was not focus all our attention on the remaining fuel. So long story short this let them spam su85's (being only 320mp/115 fuel makes it even easier). Of course on a map like city 17 su85's are very difficult to flank allowing him to camp behind his lines and snipe any armor.
My ally and I attempted to coordinate and flank the 85's with a couple of panthers/shrek squads but he had conscripts and guards to AT/button up while the shrek squads managed to get off just one shot before he did the usual warp speed reverse straight out and finshed off the at grenaded panthers.
But still we managed to hold them off till 99 victory points (we were at 400+). Then came the KV8's .... these things are ABSOLUTELY HELL. They roast infantry incl retreating ones with an efficiency 10X greater than the German FHT and your lucky to even get a panzerfaust off. 2 X KV8's meant that every single AT gun and shrek squad were either roasting or retreating.
Well you say KV8's are supposed to be taken out by tanks ? Sure ... only problem is they have such thick armor that all he has to do is run away and the su85's snipe your armor and its back to square one.
One of us even built a PaK43 - but it lived for a grand total of 1 min. One cheap il2 bombing strike later its history. (these things really need a durability buff but thats a different topic)
I have a question for the devs .... how the hell are Germans expected to counter the KV8 + SU85 combo when it melts everything non armor and su85's will snipe any German armor coming. Trying to use Shrek squads or paks will result in veterancy gain for the kv8 while the su85 will just reverse away.
This is a ridiclously op combo (at least Russians have options like guards button and have no German unit which can single handedly decimate infantry squads without support)
KV8 needs to have its flame damage on par with the FHT at least or reduce its ridiculous armor.
