T34 vs KV1 Version 1.6
« on: February 05, 2012, 04:16:27 AM »
I really never know which to pick. Which one is better at what and should your choice be strategy/doctrine specific? Please share with me your thoughts on which you use and why.

Time for pros and cons :P:

T-34:
-Faster
-Cheaper
-Might get vet fast
-Less accurate IIRC
-Weaker

KV-1
-Stronger
-Can plow over obstacles
-More accurate (possibliy)
-Slower
-More expensive
-Might get vet slower
-Less vunerable to shrecks IIRC


On maps that have less fuel, you'll want to go for the T-34, as its easier to obtain and if you lose it, it wont tke as long to get a new one. However if you anticipate heavy tank resistence or you want to plow through the enemy lines, you might want the KV.

Fuel costs are identicle the only different being manpower i believe so cost is not a big issue.
What does IIRC stand for and ive noticed T34 are alot more accurate now.

I'm actually making a little guide on the Soviet reward units. I'll probably post it tomorrow or later today.
If you get into an argument with me, you're wrong.
