They were better at the end of WW2 yes, because they had 20 russian tanks against 1 german.
LiannaSilverwind: I recommend reading German memoirs from 1941-1942 how did German
Panzers III and IV felt when meeting T-34s and KVs. And no, they
did not feel it was a joke.
During the Eastern Front conflict we can find several periods:
1941-1942 when Germans faced T-34 and KV and did not like them at all.
1942-1943 when Germans got Tigers and Panthers.
1944-1945 when German Panzerwaffe spine was definitely broken, reserves flushed away after Kursk summer, panzers constantly under threat of bombardment of Allied and Soviet planes.
In this game everyone uses top-upgraded tanks and forget about poor Pz.Kpfw.IIIE or Pz.Kpfw.IVD, their armour and cannon qualities, and what they could do vs KV outside of calling for immediate Luftwaffe help or bringing up 88 mm flaks. This game also does not provide us a chance to play romanticized version of "I'm powerful Tiger II commander, I will hold this bridge against 30 T-34". If it will, people would lose their illusions.
And yes, ingame KTs are also upgraded to the top so their terrain speed and bridge-holding capabilities are unreal.
Enjoy the game!
