Imo the problem is not what to do with KT but what to do with Allied AT.

Imo using KT as benchmark to balance allied TDs creates far more problems than it solves.

If one want to balanced "super heavy tanks" one can try the approach of separate balance by increasing target size to x2 or x3 of that of medium and giving MU with high penetration low accuracy to specific TDs.

Very reasonable suggestion in my book. SU85 is definitely potent but doesn't have such an amazing burst damage compared to su76 hordes so misplays are more forgivable if you get into an unwanted fight with it.

(One of the things CoH did better imo is tank combat that took longer and rear armor hits had much more of an impact compared to a Jackson duo bursting down a medium tank in 2 volleys no matter if its front or rear armor. The recent GeneralsGentlemen vCoH shoutcast had some exciting tank combat moments, which feel much rarer in CoH2)

I think SU76 is one of those units that when massed have exponential growth in their efficiency instead of proportional growth. I'd say same applies at least to several artillery pieces, like Katyshas or Panzerwerfers. One piece rarely has a huge impact on its own but when massed they can turn a game in seconds and sometimes with very little counterplay.

I don't play DOTA/Smite/Lol but HoTs. But the situation is similar.

Mind you, that there's buffing stats, and reworking heroes/champs. As i said previously, low ELO changes should be focused around useability/gameplay wise. There's also a misconception on low ELO as well. I'll say there's bottom of the floor low ELO and "normal" low ELO. While a MOBA has an easier entry level, there are still people who are there just to smash buttons. RTS have a higher entry mechanic wise, but if you are at the bottom 30%/50%, there are other problems rather than balance.

Typical Katitof: Katy is bad because lack of alpha strike. Werfer is bad because Ost players suck and fire at max range. The hypocrisy oozes out of your ears Katitof. I bet 10 bucks you don't play much Ostheer.

The katy is far better than werfer since you can get decent damage even at max range unlike werfer. You wont get wipes with it too often due to scatter, but the damage is consistent unlike werfer which fires probably only a third or fourth of the rockets. Werfer is ONLY superior to katy when you get an absolute minimum range which is about 45 range away from the target. When you have to be that close to get some real damage off, your risking losing the werfer. Katy can easily get vet 3 by sitting back at max range while for the werfer it's far harder.
