KT dies to a frontloaded barrage of 300 muni, 310 fuel and 1000 menpower worth of pure end game tank destroyers and doesn't win? IMBALANCE RERIK!

"THE best Tank in the whole game/the ultimate area denial tool/mobile fortress of a King Tiger" does in this video KT FTW !

Gosh, I would love to defend the KT in this thread. But when people are coming up with videos like these, in which two high end tank destroyers waste 300 ammo to kill a badly positioned KT, that has no support or vision, there are signs of utter failure from the Axis player.
I see way too many people sending their tanks fighting tank destroyers, losing the battle, then flaming that tank destroyers are OP against tanks.. Sigh.
An already muni starved faction (OKW) is now more muni starved and still can't build caches.

Tell that to the Croc that just 30 minutes ago drove up to 2 Paks and a StuG and annihilated both Paks within 10 seconds and could still escape the StuG with a third health left. For a moment there I thought I had a massed AT wall.

Are you seriously suggesting you are supposed to lose the game as Axis the moment you lose a vet Pak? You know that Paks are easy to kill and slow? Here is what happened: They were all burnt by the Croc beforehand. Melting through them in 5 secs.
This is taken well out of context then. Since you should have had 2 TWP ready, and one stun shot ready from the Stug. Any of these would stop the guns firing and give the paks time to blast away. By the time the Croc makes its appearance you must have vet surely?
One TWP hit and the croc would have died because you would have eaten it up.
Even if the Croc was over perferming, that would never give the KT the right to over perform in its own way. The KT is a rare unit by design. It is still quite a show stopper when it gets fielded. Making your opponent invest heavily in AT and combine it all in one area of the map to stop you is a strategic advantage, exploit it.

sure Church is not OP in the context of the whole game, but you actually said it yourself - it's OP for a "medium" tank ! and there are exactly 3 + 1 hard counters for it in the whole Axis arsenal, and they're all doctrinal except the KT..

except that the chruchill is not a medium tank, it's a heavy tank. also, the JT counters the churchill hard

Stop the whine about the churchills, they were more heavily armored than a Tiger

A heavy tank, that is the price of a medium tank and requires a doctrine to counter. Great.
They'd probably be fine if grenade was removed. The ability to counter their counter is just poor design. Also the croc is still ridiculous and definitely still does more flame damage than the Hetzer, despite flame damage apparently bring "normalised". No other faction can be so frivolous without fear of punishment with their armour

Axis doesn't have the best AT options in the game
