During the Great Patriotic War, the German army captured a large number of Soviet KV-1 tanks in various conditions. Of these, about 50–100 were fit for service and were put into use as the Pz.Kpfw KW-1A 753(r) for the 1940 models, Pz.Kpfw KW-1B 755(r) for the 1941 models, and Pz.Kpfw KW-1C 756(r) for the 1942 models. Among them was one such tank, produced at the ChTZ plant in the first half of 1942 and captured in the second half of the year. However, instead of using it in its original form, German engineers of the 22nd Panzer Division came up with the idea of turning it into a “KV Hunter.” To this end, they installed a new gunsight, a 75 mm KwK40 L/48 gun, an MG 34 machine gun, a commander’s cupola from Pz.III/Pz.IV tanks, and an air filter from the T-34. The modified vehicle was then sent to the Kursk sector, after which its fate remains unknown.

I decided to make this proposal because the KV2 was moved to the III Brigade. This tank could be added to this brigade for the Germans.
I HOPE YOU WILL APPRECIATE AND SUPPORT THIS SUGGESTION!
Just like the Germans, they are against trophy weapons in the USSR and other camps. I am also against that. It’s a KV-1 used by the Germans. It would be a lack of originality to include vehicles from other nations in their tech trees and would show that the game’s creators have no ideas.
this tank would be actually decent and have a purpose and be balance and unlike the other post where it was supposed to be on TT this would be a event weapon and as you can see this tank also have a different cupola and cannon along color and decals thats what i call a good copypaste
I agree as an event/bp vehicle though… captured things i don’t think have a place on tech tree.
This would give soviets a taste at a tank that is basically immune to explosion packs… one of my annoyances with this tank as i do not carry tnt charges on anyone.
Are other countries allowed to have captured weapons and equipment from other nations? There are tons of them, so I won’t list them because there are plenty. And Germany can’t have a copy of the KV-1? The KV-1 is the only tank—or rather, two tanks of different modifications—that can be destroyed with an explosive charge, only if you throw it on the driver’s hatch, and even then, it’s not always possible. And plus they moved the KV-2 to the 3rd BR, and this is a pretty powerful tank that can easily destroy 5th BR tanks, so I made this proposal so that the Germans would have a response.
I would absolutely love it if captured PPS/PPSh or Puma never appeared in North Africa, and would be ecstatic if only standard issue weapons, adopted and fielded in WW2, were in tech trees, indeed.
They said the same thing about the MP-717R “there’s no problem, it’s a captured weapon.” Now that they have it and are using it, they want it even in BR IV. Don’t talk to me about “balance.”
When they have the Pz IV H and J (how I love those vehicles) in BR III with a better gun than the KV-11 and the T-34 and better armor in general than the T-34 for a medium tank, it’s funny that German players talk about “balance.” Balance is fine when it doesn’t affect them, but when it does, it’s not fine.
I agree that the KV-2 should not have been lowered to BR III. The fact that it doesn’t have a machine gun is not the fault of the German players or the Soviet players. It should be in BR IV. I totally agree with you on that.
the stupid statement is wrong is a modified captured weapon “m o d i f i e d” which means it have different aspects from the original this tank is not 100% a KV-1 it have many “modifications” that make it different from the original thats a good copypaste
or you gonna tell me that this:
is this exact same thing?
there are similitudes thats a fact but it has modifications hell even this text says it
the posts you were supporting like the mg 34 on hands of soviets were true copypaste why? do i see a fucking change on the cartdrige? a change on the appeareance of the gun? a different sigth?
unless you are blind there no fucking change on anything at all not even the gun have more or less dirt than its other versions now … you are ALSO fucking defending a faction full of copypastes m1 bazooka m3 lee (but is more reasonable since is event) P-40 which for some magical reason is better than its american counterpart? and the mighty panzerfausts guess what the majority of these nonsense doesnt even have even the minimal change more than soviet decals and maybe a different colour in case of vehicles but when it comes to the AT these guns have absolutly nothing different
T-34 vs Panzer IV J/H is more balanced than what you would expect but ohh wait the things go screwed up when it comes to KV1 I have faced countless times Panzer IV series and unless they catch me on a shit angle or very close range they cant do shit to my armor and gets worse when i angle this thing to screw their day
oh perfect germany mains have been sitting on the fucking dirt after jets addition knowking that their jets are uncapable to do any shit to meteor unless pilot is an idiot and we still here quiet and knowing the problem
our fucking fg42 II was 100% better before some unnecesary buffs that only screwed ammo management and forced us to be reloading every 1.5 seconds we still wanting bayonet since it has a secret 5-10% recoil reduction according to some data but we dont have it yet
and well tanks are the only relief we still having only on br 5 but that because soviets and americans are stupid americans have the superpershing almost a copypaste of KTH and Plane clycle and spam soviets can abuse the very small maps or just call a kamikaze plane with 500kg bomb and thats it is that hard for the brains of these mains? ofc yes thats why Developers are giving them T44-100 soon so they would not suffer anymore according to them
and be sure that even with that they would still dying because their massive skill issue and imcompetence of their teams
(Although what am I talking about? These lazy and greedy assholes haven’t been able to make dynamic adjustments to vehicle camouflage for biomes for years now)
