I have been wanting to try a different strat for a while now with a t2 back tech, saw tight ropes video with the KV8 and decided to try something similar since I can't ever seem to get the KV8 to pay off. I went with Terror Tactics since I feel LMG airborne trade better in most situations and Assault Guards kind of suck until they get Vet.

I started with engi/clown car to try and cap and see what opponent is doing. I catch his sturm out of cover and get a model drop, we trade until my Penal arrives so I pull back to repair and eventually rush to my gas to protect it from decap. I saw his SWS truck so he is mostly likely rushing 221. He attempts to attack my scout car but accidently shows rear and I chase him down and kill it. Game is going my way so I want to inflict as much early bleed as possible so I rush his VG with clown car, I get multiple model drops but he kills my car.
Early game went as good as I could hope so I cap most of map but I assume he is going to get a Flak out.
I avoid getting PTRS since I want to keep AI up and rely on T70 for AT until I get my AT gun out. I use my muni on a Airborne Guard instead I catch a MG out of position and steal it but his flak shows up and lets him claw map back, he does a great job playing aggressive with it so I really need T70 now. I push hard on right side of the map waiting for his flak to show up, I see it and rush him hard, we both lose it but I feel I won the trade since now my infantry can roam free. I am floating MP now and build T2 and get AT gun out which worked out great since he rebuilt Flak. I win most engagements and keep his Flak at bay with AT gun.
My army is pretty much what I want at this point - 2 engi/3 Penals/2 LMG Guards/1 AT gun. I also have stolen MG which has done great for me so I decide to make KV8 and it does a great job of inflicting infantry damage. I push him hard several times and use fear propaganda to get me out of binds. Double engis get me back in the fight quick and my infantry is slaps his around. I assume due to earlier MP loses he is struggling to save for Obers and wants to concentrate on countering KV8. He eventually gets out P4J, but I now have 2 T34. I push his Schwerer and flak since they are annoying me, he rushes to defend with P4J but he cant get enough support since my KV8 is keeping the rest of his army occupied. I trade 1 T34 for his P4J and using bombing run to kill his Schwerer and he calls it quits.

Thoughts:
It was pretty fun to back tech, I feel like it really caught him off guard. His 2nd Flak would have done some serious work if I hadn't.
IF T70 stayed alive I would probably switch 1 airborne for another AT gun so KV8 can stay in the fight longer just depends on match.
I suck with AT gun positioning, need to work on that.
I will probably need to figure out where to add MG to build since you cant always rely on stealing one or Airborne strafe for crowd control.

If you have any tips for improving build let me know, thanks.
