The Victory Day event is coming to an end, and the new game version is right around the corner! This awesome reward vehicle has earned great reviews. Don’t just leave it parked in your garage — hop in and give it a try. Compare its armor and overall performance with the KV-2, and experience its true power for yourself!
This tank is basically a turretless KV-2. It has weaker armor than the KV-1 and KV-2, plus a terrible gun traverse. There’s no point angling its hull at all — doing so will only make you miss shots. Tier 4 Panzer IVs can easily take it out, and fighting it is just like fighting a regular KV-2.
The extra armor-piercing rounds are pretty much useless. It sits at BR 4, and even with AP rounds, it struggles to penetrate any BR 5 vehicles. Switching to high-explosive shells puts it in the exact same situation as the KV-2. This extra ammo loadout is just pointless, much like giving HEAT rounds to the BR 4 M4A3 (105).
Plenty of players have already obtained this tank from the event. Go test it out for yourselves and see how it really performs.
Well, this vehicle actually has an even lower fault tolerance than the KV-2, doesn’t it?
I’ll wait a few days to see how everyone gets on with it.
a heavy disappointment. cannon HE seems to behave worse than kv2 (small sample size though), lack of turret makes it useless on most map areas & it still wasnt downtiered to br3. In br3 I will play the kv2 over this thing and in br4 will play the is1 over it.
it will disappoint many players even due to the long grind time for it and the event being empty overall.
mistake from gaijin to not listen to the players 2 weeks ago and add more of the american rifles to it.
I told you so. It’s worse to drive this than the KV-2. No turret means you’re at a huge disadvantage.
