TLDR.
Here is my concise take on what is missing in coh2: A buff to the KT!
Alright, listen up, because I'm getting real tired of this nonsense. The King Tiger, the goddamn King Tiger, is the least reliable, most overpriced piece of shit in the game right now. Seriously, how the hell is a "King" Tiger — the pinnacle of German armored warfare — so fucking useless? We’re talking about a unit that’s supposed to be a terrifying beast on the battlefield, and yet, it gets outclassed by half the stuff the Allies can throw at it.
First of all, the armor is a joke. Yeah, it can take a couple of hits, but it’s not invincible, especially when you’ve got a bunch of enemy TDs (Tank Destroyers) and infantry running around with AT grenades. The thing moves like a slug and gets stuck on every damn hedge. And don’t even get me started on the reload time — the King Tiger's gun might as well be firing rubber bullets for how long it takes to shoot again.
If we’re talking buffs, here’s what the King Tiger needs to be a legitimate threat:
1. **Faster Movement Speed** - This thing is slower than molasses. In a game that’s about positioning and speed, this thing can barely make it across the map before half its health is gone. Buffing the movement speed by even 10-15% would make it more effective at getting into position before it gets whittled down by anything with a bit of anti-tank potential.
2. **Better Armor Scaling** - I don’t care if it's “historically accurate.” This thing is a king of armor, and in-game, it just folds under the first TD it meets. Maybe make it tougher against smaller caliber AT weapons or buff its rear armor so it doesn’t get sniped by a goddamn Sherman from the back.
3. **Shorter Reload Time** - The reload time is absurd. I get it, it’s a big, heavy gun, but it shouldn't take forever to fire. At least reduce the reload time or buff its accuracy so it can make those shots count. One shot every 15 seconds just isn't cutting it when you're up against massed infantry and AT units.
4. **Flare or Recon Ability** - Give it some utility, at least. Something like the ability to reveal areas of the map for a short period. The thing is supposed to be a battlefield king, not some walking target for artillery and snipers. Maybe give it a passive recon ability when stationary or a flare, just to make it a more useful tool in the hands of an OKW player.
5. **Cheaper Cost** - Or at least, less manpower drain. The King Tiger is ridiculously expensive for what it does. By the time you can get it out, you've probably lost half your army to spammed AT guns or airstrikes. Cut the manpower cost or give it more staying power for the price you pay.
Bottom line, this unit should be the game-changer it’s meant to be. Right now, it’s more of a walking target for anything that can click a mouse button and shoot. Let’s make the King Tiger *great* again. It deserves to be feared.
