A full match of BR 1 vs the KV-1 will never happen, so there will always be someone with the tools to destroy it

It will be even worse than it was in stalingrad. What else do you want to check?
This KV thing is fishy. What happened to “we nedd to protect new players” argument?

2 questions.
- Is it possible for the major update to drops during weekend?
- What else the devs are working on now?

I still think devs should analize the possibility of making 3 queues: BR1-2, BR2-3-4, and BR4-5.
Way later down the line, when playerbase expands, could become 4 queues with only +1 matchmaking, but as many point out +2 is sometimes too much.
Another option would be implementing weighted matchmaking, like World of Tanks does by putting more players with the lower-Tier tanks (in this case BR) and less with the higher-Tier tanks. So in a BR1-2-3 only 1-2 players of BR3 would be allowed, and the same for BR5 players In BR3-4-5 matches.

The KV1 is balanced on paper, but severely overperforms, that’s the problem.
Its got more armor than the Panzer IV F2, but a much worse gun.
So when a Panzer IV F2 shoots a KV 1 with its 75mm of armor - and it bounces that would mean the Panzer IV F2 has less than 80mm of effective penetration power - which doesn’t add up at all.
F2 has actually about 130mm of armor penetration, meaning either its gun needs a massive buff, or the KV1s armor is actually thicker than that of Tiger tanks.

Still stays, as i told before, br can be changed based on your feedback and statistics from devs.

Ok.
Then feedback is: no KV vs BR1 should be allowed. It won’t be balanced, it won’t be fun, it has already happened before.

I guess my main question here…is why is something (KV-1) that is so hard to kill for Everything that’s not BR III “okay” to be BR III,
Yet at the same time something that is so easily dispatched By “everything” including all BR 1 tanks and AT rifles, isn’t okay and needs to be BR IV…
Consistency is much easier to swallow.

Possible to kill and fairly balanced are two different things.
Like technically a puma can take out a jumbo with a puma but in practice it’s very difficult to do and needs some skill, luck and an unobservant jumbo driver.
The KV 1 just aims center mass and can 1 shot the PZ IV
The PZ IV needs to aim carefully at weak points and have prior knowledge of ammo racks preferably because if that first shot misses and KV 1 realises he is most likely dead.

Yeah but at 3 you could end up fighting level 0 people. Maybe it could be revisited if we are able to add more BRs to uncompress the middle, and it could end up squarely in the middle where there is no risk of fighting level zero players while staying out of the high-tier queue.

You know that unlike most tanks where you can throw a detpack against the treads or underneath the tank and you will guarantee a kill on it. That doesn’t work vs KV 1 you specifically need to get the det pack onto the back of the turret area near the air intake.
TNT to the side as well doesn’t work.
New players will get curb stomped many times before they figure this out.

Well all infantry can be easily dispatched, so should fedorov be tier I?
Beside survivability there is killing power. Sending 20 rockets on point in seconds will no be possible with planes on low BR, why should this be exception?

I think there were just a lot of complaints from people that farm bots in their Stalinium KV-1s that they would have to face things that could actually threaten them.

remind me what BR the BM-8-24 was again? (soviet rocket tank premium)

Sending 10 rockets that are more powerful than HVAR’s on the point within seconds is really not a good experience for everyone involved, even if it can be easily destroyed

Well so this one has to get higher BR as well, not the other way around honestly.

KV-1 is useless in BR 4- 5. In reality it was an early war tank so it should be in low BR.
(game will look more historic)

Please please please, make T3 it’s own que and make it able to face +1 or -1 
Why is the Jumbo still T4 and can go to Pacific?

Yeah i got it
I will gladly play it with in top BR if that means no rocket tanks on low BR
Besides they don’t have same rockets, and it’s way slower. You are literally first person to mention it lol
