Capturing KV is just so much fun

I can't control myself
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.
I don't have zero slots and double attack hero (other than Rudel)
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...
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.
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...

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.

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.
*with panzer general trait
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

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.
