In a non-etc situation, KVs have a hard time getting any decent positions nt tournaments. In any case, I did some tests today so will share the results some time soon.Sexy Sixes - Reksiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09944922448631487995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2184114086768883795.post-72177717621402316252016-03-12T14:48:31.949+01:002016-03-12T14:48:31.949+01:00The real problem with the kv2 is that you can only...The real problem with the kv2 is that you can only take one if you take a second kv 1. Hen and chocks mean you can't even leave one behind while the other moves up! The real effectiveness of the bunker buster is that the enemy will not want to put his troops into any buildings, meaning moving them makes them vulnerable in ew to machine guns and light artillery. It's really only useful as a support option, rather than a real breakthrough force, but two of them costs you a full third of your entire force! I've really only seen kvs as support options because there are so many good options for soviet tank lists, especially by late War, that kvs are never really the most effective option. In mid war they seem too fragile/expensive (mostly because in my experience mid war is about 50% panthers, 20% tigers) and by late War even the allied armour chews through them without any problem. Early war is actually where they shine, but every time I've played against them I scoff at their mere 2 shots a turn, and their totally ineffective assaults. I once captured a kv1 with an artillery commander, armed a sword no less, and in the next game with a single rifle team. Useless.
