That’s real equivalent to Soviet KV2.

And speaking of KV2, KV-2 (1939) should be added as free tech tree unlock for soviets.

What the difference between the kv2 btw? Like is the 1940 one better than 1939 or something?

they both are br 3.7

The main distinction is the different looking tower. I doubt the stats are significantly different, but I’m not a WT nolifer. And I am lazy to compare them.

And why I am suggesting it? I just think the KV-2 should be a free vehicle, too bad it’s currently behind the paywell (btw. I say this as an owner of a current premium KV-2)

Well since both are pretty much the same I guess they could add the Kv2 ZiS6 for free

Oh I see it now 1940 version have like 2 thingy for crew to climb in instead of 3

That’s very good idea. Another tank with potential to penetrate Tiger 2 frontally if I am not mistaken.

The 1940 one has machine gun, while the 1939 don’t. It will make a big difference since KV-2 has a very long reload.

I don’t think it’s much of a difference, as the fridge has really bad traverse speed, so unless you’re already aimed or shooting long range, you won’t be defending much with it.

The axis suffers.

The difference is big, you don’t have to waste your shell on 1 to 2 soldier.You also have something to do instead of sitting there staring at enemy while waiting to reload.

It is better to use turretless or slow turret traverses vehicle at long range anyway.

Considering this is a infantry focused game - adding more real infantry support vehicles would make a lot of sense.

The addition of the KV2 is a full success and got implement perfectly well - yes it needs forever to reload - but its HE is still strong enough to take out even tanks.

ISU 152, Jagdtiger and other high caliber vehicles could funktion comparably - which makes me think, shouldn’t IS2 HE also rather reliably take out Panthers for example if hitting the turret?
Not a Soviet player, but I feel like this isn’t really the case right now?

Or… well a case could be made that high caliber guns don’t even necessarily need to one hit kill even heavy tanks - but it would still be enough if such hit would destroy turret ring, tracks, gun breach and in general multiple components at once.

I think Brummbär is a closer match. Another classic case of wehrb over compensation.

More like a joke but believe what you want.
Though maybe I’m wrong and you are right.
