KV13 heavy/medium tank?

KV-13 Heavy Tank. KV-13 - Wikipedia T-34 - Wikipedia. . Assault Tank M4A3E2 Jumbo - Tank Encyclopedia. KV-13 - Global wiki. Wargaming.net. A great BR4/5 tank with a decent gun but heavy armor. This tank would be a good event or premium tank. Would add a good mix to the heavy t34 kv tanks of the USSR line.

More than anything it feels like an up-armored T-34 or Sherman Jumbo. The turret is larger but unlike many kv is not very tall but more squat. What is it with Soviet and rear facing turret machine guns?

It sort of is there since it led to the IS-1

For an uparmoured KV the KV-1E would be better since it was actually produced, and exists in WT:

We already have that in enlisted. And literally nobody is playing it.

I probably have it then!! lol

Is it in BR3 hell?

ETA - BR 4? 'cos the original KV is at 3, so shouldn’t be the same - even worse since it will be forever facing BR 5 and it’s completely outclassed by then of course

Nope, BR4. That’s why nobody is paying attention to it.

Yeah - your post crossed with my edit - the KV-13 would be the same but worse - it would have to be BR4 too.

Just another example of how the BR system fails

It has more then twice the armor of a t34 so no at br3, yes the problem is slotting everything from machine guns to 88-100 mm guns in only five levels. Check out kv13- with inspector 91 mm to 180 effective armor, much better than the kv1 on wotinspector

Check the KV-1E, not any basic KV1 = it has 100mm armour thickness (75+25) on the hull front AND SIDES, 105mm turret front and sides.

Cant find a KV-1 E in enlisted
Tech tree and drop nor down menu of all tanks in squad menu show only two KV-1’S
L-11 and ZIS-5 neither with 75mm hull armor
my bad reread your post

Give it up prototypes have been a part of enlisted since the release
no its not the same the kv-11 and kv-zis5 have worse armor (zis 5 is 75mm hull)
The fact that BR5 is cracked is more a reason why we need a real br5 the jump from br4 to br is too great. by that move most br5 gear to br6 and create a new br5. no not create a new br6 create a new br5.

Isnt IS1 still BR5 or something? That one should go to BR4 for sure.
