[1.30] KV-2 dmg at tanks

Hello everybody. I'm new in this community. At first i want to thank the developers for this great mod. Relic should pay you guys for your work. EF is the only reason for me to play CoH again. And I think its not only me.

To my topic:

I don't know if the stats of a unit (dmg at inf., armoured and heavy armoured units and buildings)  represents their real dmg. KV-2 stat for dmg at tanks is 2 as far as I renember. But they take out a Wehr Panther with 3-4 shots.

The only way to take out a KV-2 with a Panther is to circuit the KV-2 cause they are pretty slow. To support the Panther by engeneers is impossible cause the KV-2 do very annihilating collateral dmg.

The dmg at tanks is felt like 8 or 9 and not 2.
I understand the KV-2 as a unit against buildings und defense structure. Not as tank killer.

Maybe I'm on a wrong way ;)  What do u guys think about?

I think the unit stats should be taken with a pinch of salt. Or rather, a dumptruck of salt... Did you notice that the Littlejohn Adapter on the Tetrarch doesn't change the stats? Although i don't know if it really triples armor penetration, either...

The KV-2 doesnt do much damage to tanks, so it compensates by having really thick armor.

Its also really expensive, so its not like your gonna be running up against hordes of them. In that regard its not that big of a deal.

If it doesn't do much damage to tanks, then how can it take out a Panther so easily? ???

It takes 5 accurate KV-2 shots to destroy a vet 0 Panther (250dmg * 0,6dmg multiplier).
If youre really lucky and the Panther wont move it will still take you 40secs to kill that Panther.

Oh, O.K., so it has a very long reload time? And when you say "5 accurate shots", that's assuming it's to the frontal armor, right?

+1

Mathematics are against your statement michael!  ;D
Welcome to the forum though.  :)

The stats on the UI mean absolutely nothing. They are numbers arbitrarily chosen by the devs to give an idea to the effectiveness of the vehicle at a task.

Thanks for your replies!

I could swear the KV-2 takes out the Panther in 1v1 without moving. But we play the same game and when you all say he won't it must be the truths =D
