This is exactly the problem I have with it. It's not a bad unit, but it's not a good heavy tank because of things like this. Its just not survivable enough for its cost
Speed is nice but that's what I have the rest of the US roster for. Literally every vehicle they have besides the dozer shermans is fast and relies on mobility
If that's the theme of the faction then so be it, but if that's the case they shouldn't of added a heavy tank in the first place
I'm sure they added it because USF players (mains?) complained that there was no US heavy tank and everyone else got one. Speaking of that doc, Rangers day 1 were basically 5 man KCH lol.
In fairness, if I see an ZiS/6-lber shooting at my Tiger/KT I usually back off, because sadly Kruupstahl is not how that goes down usually. 57mm depends on whether they switch rounds. Heavies across the board are in need of buffs/reversions imho.
