No, not at all. The KV-1 doesn't have much killing power. Also note that it comes out at CP4, a while after most medium armor is on the field. It is very vulnerable to AT guns, and Panthers and Tigers eat it for dinner. It has as much impact as a P4 so I think it is good where it is.
Thanks , I assumed it was coming out at CP3. CP4 is a late enough time frame.
As for some other stuff:
For the motherland: used it against Pgrens, 2 grens, and an MG with only 3 conscripts and took them handedly, just don't plan to do anything fast once it's done( seriously, they come to a crawl).
B-4 Howitzer: Almost useless once you built. Takes forever to do anything and can't aim for shit, but get one vet and it becomes a titan. Just point click and goodbye heavy tanks. Took out a Tiger and a Elephant in the same game.
Ostruppen: Useless. If you think that you are going to build an army out of these, think again. Conscripts can just walk around them like they are nothing. Use them to cap and be overall fodder. Can be used to delay your opponent quite well though.
I haven't used forward bunker yet though, that seems like it could be a little OP in some cases.
have you tried out the assault grens , 250 ht with pgrens and the stug ausf e yet ?
