T-34/76's issue is that it's not as disposable as it should have been.
No T3 armored unit is or should be disposable.
You have slightly easier time replacing them as soviets, but it doesn't matter that much if their impact is significantly lesser as well.
Maybe the IS2's strength is that it has 375 armor while being almost as fast as a medium tank? Because with a KT you need to sit infront of enemy AT for much longer than an IS2. If your not using your IS2's to rush enemy AT positions and encircle them your doing it wrong. The greatest strength of the IS2 is it's speed + armor. The problem with the KT is that all it had going for it in assaults was the armor, which is now gone.
Show me a SINGLE 1v1 or 2v2 game where IS-2 is utilized like medium tank thanks to the speed instead of as tiger/KT thanks to its armor.
A single rep.
If you are rushing your IS-2 to do it, then you probably just ended up fausted and nuked or rolled over a mine.
Actually, yeah, that makes perfect sense. The target size of the heavy weapons are pretty big (20), so I think that would cause missed PTRS shots to frequently hit the weapon.
PTRS always hit team weapon before the changes as well.
Difference is, it was nearly extinct weapon as the only target it could engage was light vehicles, which had plenty of time to move to other side of the map before being destroyed.
Heavy tanks are not ment to be indestructible behemoths of doom.
You axis players screamed for months that IS-2 is OP with 375 and now that KT got that as well its suddenly up?
Then I suppose we should start talking about buffing IS-2 as well.
KT still have superior durability and firepower, combat blitz still means it can go NASCAR as the nerf to it wasn't that strong, its worth every extra resource above other heavies cost and boo fucking HOO that USF have a glass cannon unit that is now able to actually fend off the axis heavy tanks.
I like the features of this commander. It is very unique. I think the counters need a buff before the abilities are nerfed.
With how AA and the commander works, you can't say 'its counters' as nothing in it is counterable at all.
AA is meant to deal with loitering planes, its completely useless against single passes.
@The Silver Sage
He never really had.
Just like with austerlitz, alex or sierra you argue him for fun, not for actual productive argument with rational points and valid proofs.
