Fallschirmjagers! Yes please!

Ah yes lets nerf it to that point where planes will drop pictures of disneyland ya?

Ha!

If they were able to use strafe continuously like you said, you already lost before that point.

Lets have a small comparison .... the ostheer's rival to the KV8 is the brummbar which costs 180 fuel and a load of manpower more. It also has less armor and has far less killing capacity against inf than the kv8.

KV8 needs a definite fuel increase so it cant be spammed.

How is a doctrine unit the rival to a Ostheer's T4 vehicle? It's an assault gun that more closely rivals that of the SU76, and if you really want to compare it to a doctrine unit I'd say it's closer to the ISU-152. The KV-8's role is solely that of killing infantry, just like shock troops, and the 45mm gun does absolutely nothing to most tanks.

I wouldn't be against a cost increase as well as a retreat defense bonus to flames. I dont have any problems with the KV-8 in its current state because to call that in means, no guards, maybe 1 SU85 or a couple T34's. If you keep your tank near your troops it dosnt cause that many problems. Try the Teller mine behind the pak gun for when it trys to flank that, thats been my most successful tactic.

Right and you and friedfaggot are different people 4 sure ... since the same soviet biased tone is present.

Oh noes I cant insta win spam with my exploit 85 and kv insta win 8 if they get nerfed so I must defend my communist heroes.

I actually think I play as Germans more often then Soviets, either way, KV-8 (if it comes early) means they didnt go for a second su85 meaning you can simply go for a pincer type flank with 2 P4's that are well supported. It's all about using your combined arms. Actually I'd go as far to say that the KV-8 is the easiest Sov tank to deal with besides the T70 and T34. You have options to deal with the KV-8, use them. (In a completely unrelated note I will say the speed of the SU85 is ridiculous, there is no punishment for a Soviet overextending their lines since they can warp speed the SU85 back into safety). And even when I play as Soviets I dont go for the KV-8 doctrine unless I see swarms of PG's cause it seems most people I play against are capable of knocking it out.

I am just tired of seeing all these German players calling for nerfs because a Soviet played well or had a well supported attack or knocked the Germans out early and you were never able to recover or had a call in unit you weren't prepared to deal with or did something so our of left field that it happened to work. Soviets aren't fun to play against because there seems to be so little variation in their strats anymore because most of their units have been fucked over due to whiners.

My bad, I still don't have all the doctrines memorized and I definitely don't know what the fuck they're named lol.

I think you're right, nevertheless the flame halftrack isn't so hard to deal with, just go T2 get an AT gun and use the Russians normal mines. think of it like going back to coh1 but you're dealing with an early m8.

I'm in the same boat, besides the normal ones I use when someone tells me the doctrine they are going for I always have to ask whats in it lol. Miss the good'ol days, 3 doctrines per side with 2 sides to each.

now everyone is going to start talking about how OP shocktroops are..

Well to their defense everything Soviet is OP
