wait what, in what universe are stug(s) no reliable counter to a kv-8?
May I present you the dark realm of 4 digit rank 4v4 RT?
Another big problem with KV1s are the units that support them, and destroy their counters.
Katys rape Paks in one or two volleys. In 2v2+ this is real.
But katys were destroyed by counter barrage lefh.
7men Cons snare panthers, invalidating its chase options.
But 7 man cons were pinned by HMG42.
Plus, what 7 man cons? Brummbar 1-2 shotted all of them, so there is no soviet infantry on field besides CEs anymore and your panther has completely free reign to move anywhere.
Add to this the horrible Panther accuracy on the move and Stugs not penning KV1.
Why do you need to always be on the move against KV-1? Its much slower and with large target size accuracy is not a problem. Why do you move StuGs around?
This combo of issues
Got solved by ost own tools.
See? Its very easy to always have theoretical hardcounter to everything you face to make other side look unbeatable.
