Capturing KV is just so much fun

Re: Capturing KV is just so much fun
I like KV-1 an KV-2. I had 172 KV-1 and 79 KV-2 after Raseiniai. And now I have plans to farm T-34.
Panzer Corps 2 is the most ahistorical game in the history of WW2 games
Re: Capturing KV is just so much fun
This is exactly why the most special enemy Heroes are starting to all have 'No Surrender'
You can't 1 tap combo Major General Solyankin himself.
But yea, this hero combo is definitely the most powerful combo in the game.

For to win one hundred victories in one hundred battles is not the acme of skill. To subdue the enemy without fighting is the acme of skill.
Re: Capturing KV is just so much fun
1 tap combo no, but 1 turn and 4 taps - yes. Two strikes by Rudel (with Double Attack) and two strikes by 21 cm (with Elsa+Double Attack+Consolidator+Zero Slots) = No Solyankin.

Re: Capturing KV is just so much fun
I don't have zero slots and double attack hero (other than Rudel)
I have to do many tap...s

But Raseiniai is really a blessing otherwise, I probably get enough KV for the rest of campagin

Re: Capturing KV is just so much fun
In my opinion, T-34 is the absolute star of AO 1941. It just has everything - incredible movement range, toughness, punch...
I personally use KV-1 only as a single defensive anchor (Provocator + Prudent + Avenger) against enemy attacks on soft units in the field.
PS: Still using Verdeja tank from the first DLC as my trophy prize hunting vehicle. I wonder if I ever let it go

Re: Capturing KV is just so much fun
Sure T-34 is better choice but I still keep 1 KV-1 and 1 KV-2 on the field just for the sake of fun and diversitybrumleek wrote: ↑Mon Mar 22, 2021 9:47 am In my opinion, T-34 is the absolute star of AO 1941. It just has everything - incredible movement range, toughness, punch...

Verdeja is good because it only cost 2 slot*, I am quite sure I will keep it till the end of AO41

Neubaufahrzeug is another story though, it becomes inferior compare with T-34 which also take 3 slot... time to go to my thropies museum.

Re: Capturing KV is just so much fun
Agreed, T-34 is better than KV-1. And I also use Verdeja for trophy hunting.brumleek wrote: ↑Mon Mar 22, 2021 9:47 am In my opinion, T-34 is the absolute star of AO 1941. It just has everything - incredible movement range, toughness, punch...

Re: Capturing KV is just so much fun
I actually had a lot of fun with Neubaufahrzeug. Enemies loved to attack it due to its low defensive stats, so I used it as bait with Avenger + Prudent + Readiness heroes. I tried to do the same with permanently half-strength 10.5cm K Gepanzerte (Sfl.) but without success. I suppose game treats low unit count (5) as full-strength instead of half-strength (what I hoped for).gf85 wrote: ↑Mon Mar 22, 2021 10:38 amSure T-34 is better choice but I still keep 1 KV-1 and 1 KV-2 on the field just for the sake of fun and diversitybrumleek wrote: ↑Mon Mar 22, 2021 9:47 am In my opinion, T-34 is the absolute star of AO 1941.

I just can't figure out anti-tanks in general in this game (not counting 8.8 cm FlaK for it is primarily an AA), although I very much like to. It seems that there is always a better choice at hand. I remember only one occasion for AT to be awesome from my vanilla campaign - a combination of AT with Camouflage hero. But I was not lucky to get this hero in AO campaigns so far. It would be great for ATs to get this trait as an award instead of +1 to soft attack. To create some opposition to Steamroller trait for tanks. Imagine what a blast that would be

Re: Capturing KV is just so much fun
Good use! Speaking of AT I am now using the Neu as SPAT now. I have a anti tank hero and expert support attach to it. Hope I can get a Support fire hero somedaybrumleek wrote: ↑Mon Mar 22, 2021 12:12 pm
