Should KV1 get 'Inspire' ability?

KV1 has "pitiful" firepower, yet it hardcounters Ost p4, heck it even has a big advantage vs OKW p4 for being at the same fuel cost. Ost p4 has 0% chance to beat kv1 in a 1v1 fight. I'd say OKW p4 probably has a 5% chance. While a cheaper sherman or crom can beat an ost p4 around 35-40% of the time. The gun may be lacklustre, but the armor and health allow it to bully ANY medium with ease.

"pitiful" my ass.

Only panthers and heavy/superheavies pen everytime so they'd rather face KV1, but anything less bounce off the KV1 a reasonable amount.


The pak40 has a 70% chance of penetrating a kv1 at Max range, and a 79% chance of penetrating a Churchill. 3 extra shots is much better than a difference of 30 armor.

Yes we all know how damage reduction works. Saying it repairs faster than the Churchill is a useless point, the Churchill has more health even with RD taken into account. It doesn't even necessarily repair faster, as Katitof pointed out. Heavy sapper upgrade come in the same tech as the churchill

Kv1 is a 7hit kill after taking into account damage reduction, churchill is 8hit kill. But in your world 8-7 = 3.



It's actually a 9 hit kill so you're wrong too. 2 more shots so nice try. Either way +400hp is way better than +30 armor. The panther just traded +160 for -60 armor

I'm gonna have to blame coh2stats cuz they said 800HP while another site said 960Hp for KV1.

Or you could just admit your mistake an move on, rather than trying to cover it up. I made a math error when dividing, but i wasn't unsure about any of the unit stats. 400hp difference is better than 30 armor, easily.

Are KV-1 Htanks meant to be TD?
Are they supposed to have buttloads of HP and armor (everyone here forgot KV-1 rear armor is higher than KT rear armor) AND on top of that a "decent" gun -by allie fanboy standards- firepower, able to shutdown Pz4 and Panthers alike?

Is this madness?

Where do you see anyone suggesting they become a TD? There's a lot of room between the main gun of a t34/76 and TD level power

I agree, not to mention the fact that in order for hull down to be effective, good offensive power is usually needed. Otherwise it's just an immobile sponge

A bitch gun and a lot of durability that's immobile means something you can ignore imo. Like one will waste their AT on an immobile but durable t34...

Added: WHILE HULL DOWN a t34/85 cannon might be an interesting start point to make it a threat.

Happy to help a little fella learn to read:

It should be reduced reload then, instead of damage reduction. Fighting a cheap tank that can bring itself to Churchills level of HP would be very tedious.

140 fuel is cheap now?
Also, KV-1 problem isn't durability, but pitiful firepower, a flanking gun on a platform that can't flank.

And before you answer, no one is saying that KV1 needs more AI, but AT to fight off OKM Pz4 and Panthers.
If that doesnt bring KV1 to TD tier i dont know what then, if 1v1 battles turn in favour for KV1, then congrats now KV1 is officialy a Heavy TD.

140 f for a 7hit, 270 armor sponge, yes that's cheap. Churchill is 160f for an 8hit 240 armor sponge and requires further tech.

Please oh great one, shin upon us the logic, which led you to believe a 400 EHP difference is 1 shot difference.

So go and make another "nerf churchil" thread and be laughed at there.

This is about KV-1, which at the very least needs heavy tank tailored vet.

Maybe you should use less contradicting and false statements in an attempt to derail the thread and actually haul your ass to create a thread for something you have a problem with? Preferably on strategy forum as that's where all of your problems originate from.

i wasnt the guy who brought the church into this discussion. I only suggest that the compared tank(church) maybe isnt fair..because its to strong for its pricetag. thats why it is abused by so many players

Comparison of KV-1 to churchill is valid for the thread.

Whining how hard life is when churchill is on field and exaggerating about its performance is not.

and now explain us:

How can you take someone seriously who has not played for over a year but lets hang out the big balancer here?

it is like: being a ww1 soldier who complains about the soldier in ww2: senseless. You fought your war ... with almost complete other strategies and almost other units ... now you only fight in the forum with your old and outdated "fighting experience"
