The Soviet bias is ridiculous, especially on their tanks. I just played as the Germans in a BR2/3 match…MULTIPLE times I needed entire squads armed with TNT and 3 explosive packs each JUST to track KV-1’s and T-34’s…this is RIDICULOUS!
Do you agree that Devs NEED to fix this IMMEDIATELY?
it’s getting real annoying. If devs are going for symetrical balance, this should be fixed.
No kidding…I was raging playing because our team couldn’t kill tanks…then with all the body armour running at me…BRUTAL! What’s sad was I was using countless TNT charges and more then 10 explosive packs just to track it so planes could direct hit them to take them out…Panzer IVs couldn’t even pen them.
T-34s are oddly resistant to overpressure, which makes no sense and also makes them very resistant to explosive packs. KV-1s can’t be overpressured the side at all so they’re only killable with explosive packs and TNT from the top or bottom (engine decks, turret roof, or thrown underneath).
That being said there are some things to make them not as annoying to deal with:
For a KV-1, I had 3 squad members standing on the tank dropping TNT and explosive packs on the engine compartment and hatch, while some other squad was using repeated AT on it…only to track it…it even sounded like the Panzer IV ricocheted off the side.
Explosive pack has less penetration than the side armor of both of those tanks… i know for sure the kv1 all around i can’t recall for the t-34 though but i know i don’t bother trying to kill the bot tanks that use it with packs.
Word of advice, don’t bother throwing explosion packs at KV-1s.
From the discord
Well, everything is historically accurate.
This area also works with an explosion pack
TNT charge and explosive pack should really get a buff, there is absolutely no reason to make one tank that is already OP for BR immune.
Otherwise, everything is given to deal with tanks.
Grey zone camping infantry.
Powerful AT guns.
Powerful AT weapons on almost every BR.
Planes…
Yet another reason to add +0- matchmaker.
T34 are kinda immune to detpacks, which makes no sense - KV1 however has ridiculously thick top, rear and side armor, so in this specific case it makes sense that KV1 is very resilient.
That being said, detpacks should be much much more effective at blowing off tracks in general.
Unless I see exactly what happened I can’t really explain it. But yeah the KVs can be extremely annoying to kill, T-34s can also be annoying to kill for no good reason.
Yes, but only the KV1 is really an issue, and only really for Japs. Since they don’t have very strong tanks or a proper BRIII AT.
The only issue i’ve faced with the kv1 while playing japan are the relentless number of degenerates who waste the plane… this is especially a problem when playing japan, for some reason it attracts the worst of them.
KV-1’s got ridiculous.
Everything is as it should be now
that very historicity
KV1 has increased survivability - a penetrating shot that would normally kill a tank doesn’t deal significant damage against KV1.
KV1 is OP because of reduced post pen damage.
I’ve heard mentioning of its fuel tank walls in war thunder and i’ve definitely felt it here
Pfft…“Historically accurate”? Then why can tnt blow up a King Tiger, but a KV-1 survives the exact same setup, even though the King has thicker armor?
If only there was a dedicated anti tank weapon at BR 2 and 3 capable of obliterating KVs and T-34s in a single hit due to their ammo and fuel tanks spread across both sides of the hull.
