KV85 might return later, it is up to how can be balanced. Jumbo won't be added, because it has no place in US trees and we weren't sure it would be a better reward for the Pershing.

I still miss my KV-85s. Also I thought the IS-2 got a buff from the update. Why does it take alot of hits to destroy a single, unarmored truck.

OSTHEER is Coming. There will be more tanks, tanks! German Tanks! Czech Tanks! Italian Tanks! Blow their little turrets off! MuuHuuHuuHaHa!

Someone made a mistake coding one of the tables for ISU2. It is known and will be fixed.

I miss the KV85 as well, but am finding the KV1 in Breajthru a delight to play with. It is different and difficult to micro but delightful none the less. I will be interested to see if the Pz III or 38T can run rings around it long enough to KO one. Otto Carius' gunner had to put three 37mm shells through the barrel of one once to stop it. With his 38T! Muhuhaha.

Thats the problem. Its good. TOO good. Its good to the point of border line OP IMO. It deals with infantry and tanks equally effectively for less cost and an MG.

If you dont like the sherman 105 and want your croc's back, just go into: rewards - vehicles and deselect it.

I agree the option should remain.

Fish is right that it seems OP but only compared to the awful croc. You would be idiotic to use the croc over the 105mm. However, I think the 105 is reasonably balanced but it can just deal with a lot more targets than the croc.
If you get into an argument with me, you're wrong.

KV-1 is my Mainstay. I deploy KV-85s for my premiere heavy tank. That is for breakthrough though. If Im going other doctrines I'll gladly pick T-34s over the KV series and use an IS-2.

LOL Im not ignorant about COH. I know I can deselect it  ::). The problems is everyone else has the 105 selected. And that SOB can take on Panzers when it really should NOT be able to. Its supposed to be a super powerful Anti Infantry tank, not a round house tank. That what the Sherman is for.

its ROF is quite slow though, and isnt that good in close range, to effectivly use the 105, you need to keep it at range with shermans infront and if you really want to hit the axis hard, you put acouple of m10's in the middle. the 105 is a support tank after all and is meant to be somewhat allround because its not something you would put on point.
