In terms of meta game, the penal's complete lack of anti-vehicle make the build vulnerable to tanks and light tank.
on the other hand, they are just about the best anti-infantry squad in the game. Only the ober compare are as good at it. The unit force the okw and wehr to use support weapons or tank as the penal seems to dominate infantry combat.
Well, its most expensive early game infantry, coming from least flexible tier.
Rather obvious it will serve 250-240mp generalist inf good when it costs 300 itself and is AI specialist.
so you are not a pro player, you have been away from COH2 from over a year, you don´t have problems dealing with zooks in other maps, but all people answering in this thread are wrong and zooks deserve a nerf....
Thats pretty typical...
Absolutely last thing people blame on the loss is their own lack of skill/inexperience, while it should be the first thing they should fix while staying as far as possible from balance forums.
Its one of the most expensive early game infantry units, its AI specialist unit, locked behind AI specialist tier with no AT.
Whatever that doesn't use legs to move around is their hardcounter.
I'd say its the adapting as both, lights and suppression excels against them. After all, they are soviet, stock, long range and effective-a combo not seen after first 6 months post release, since first vet rework.
Regarding their survivability, its only as good as the cover they are behind, they get one of the lowest rec acc modifiers, they are soviet glass cannons.
The one thing they allow is to NOT use maxims as mandatory unit anymore.
axis players think the PIV is bad.. i dont get it.. it wrecks infantry, methinks you are just used to having hack-shielded tanks that deflect 1/2 the shots thrown at it.
I support the KV1 getting a health or armor buff, but I just wanted to point out that they do indeed have different damage since I recently looked up the stats for some other reason.
This is exactly the DPS difference coming from KV-1 higher reload speed...
The gun is equally terrible except for that single difference, only you can get 2 KV-1s and almost 4 T34s.
