Just played a 1v1 game, I had the feeling that I had the upper hand, only 1 squad loss and over 400 vp, while he was under 100 vp.
And than I encountered the KV-2 for the 1st time. It more or less 1 shot my p IVs, only a sliver of health left after 1 hit from the KV-2, it also eats panzer grens with shrecks and anti tank guns for breakfast. And with it´s range and high health it is nearly impossible to kill it by cycle strafe, esp if there are a lot of houses and hedges on the map. My tiger always had to pull back, because he was loosing the slugging matches vs the KV-2.
I´m sure there is a counter to it, but at the moment I have the feeling it is just a IS-2 with insane range and better AT-gun.
I would be grateful for every tip you can give me on fighting this thing in 1v1 matches.
10. German Grenadiers at the eastern Front could not speak proper German, instead they used a combination of English and wrong pronounced German words.
I´m not sure about the german commander. (Looks like he is only useful for push button to win in 4v4 games)
The russian commander is great. Radio Intercept is one of the most useful early game abilities, that with assault package upgrade, repair kit and t34/85 call in is just a deadly combo. The IL-2 Sturmovik is just the icing on the cake.
