It really should not have been added at all. As a KV-220 owner I haven't used it in battles after being on the receiving end of that tank. It's just that broken op compared to most vehicles at that br range. Some more experienced players can play against that thing on equal footing but against most players it's just non-stop seal clubbing
My favorite is the KW 1 C 756 (r). The cannon is great, and the armour is super good. I love taking out in sim to grind (not as an imposter i plaster it with crosses)
@@quarkedbutt3957 lmao, since only Germany have that kind of kv (huge gun with muzzle brake and weird looking turret), why would anyone still fooled by it? now KV1B is another story
Why does Stalin hate you for that particular round? Not an insult but I feel like the KV 2's shell was guided by Stalin and hit you I would be very much confuse as well.
The KV-1S was such fun when I used it. For some reason I never noticed it having less armour, plus the new turret design it has is very trolly when it comes to bouncing shells.
To the both of you, and as a 220 player, no, it really doesn’t bounce long 88s, as long as the shot doesn’t hit the cheeks, and it’s good to give Germany a taste of their own medicine at 5.7 so😁
@@VolkKorvi281 nope most of the time it really eat the splash damage getting crew orange only they have to aim so perfectly just to hit the weak spot in some occasion it pen through and only damage 2 crews
as a japan main and having just gotten my first kv-1 and kv-2 i love them, being able to tank shots from most calibres, contrary to japanese tanks being taken out instantly with he smallest rounds
Really wish the Object 229 aka KV-9 can come to the game sometime... it's a really interesting design and rather unique compared to other upgrades on the KV series of tanks
@@CT-0001 i smell some passive-aggressiveness? what's your take? do you want to see paper tanks like in the game? kv-9 was built btw so we might actually see it come in the future, who knows?
Its a shame that the KV-2 1940 is unobtainable in the russian tech tree but its a regular premium in the german tech tree, the early production is the researchable one, and the experimental varaint is easier to obtain than the orignal
The kv-1 l-11 is an absolute beast. For very good armor at it's br, you get a decent reload speed with a weak spot on the front (driver's optics) so it is a pretty balanced tank.
My favourite one is the kv1 zis 5 , it stood alive against an attack of 5 tigers and I did double kill with it and I defeat a plane with a Canon shot, its incredible.
for me that would be the KV-1 L-11, it has good armor and firepower and is faster than other tanks of his class, other than that, aiming from the comanders hatch on the top of the turret is exelent and is good on maps with a lot of hills, and is good as suporting fire.
I absolutely love KV2 ZIS 6. Absolute glass cannon. Perfect ballistics and pens nearly any armor. It can even overpressure Tiger 1 and other heavy tanks.
then you can overpressure Tiger 1s with M4A3(105)'s HE or Chi-Ha Short.. at least in test drive is not much more accurate that the normal KV-2, and that one can overpressure any tank!..
I think the description "unplayable" is the best. After a few meters or seconds on land, on the water or in the air, the final destination is reached. You are shot out of the game by enemy programs as if there were no missed shots, rebounds or an element of surprise - and then immediately switch off again. Я думаю, что описание «неиграбельный» является лучшим. Через несколько метров или секунд на суше, на воде или в воздухе достигается конечный пункт назначения. Вы вылетаете из игры вражескими программами так, как будто не было ни промахов, ни рикошетов, ни элемента неожиданности - и тут же снова отключаетесь.
Could you add exterior lights on the vehicules? Like navigation, formation or takeoff/landing lights on aircrafts and headlights for tanks for example.
My personal favorite its the KV-1 L11, i could play pretty much any other KV tank (except for premiums), but there's just something fun about playing the KV-1 L-11
I only have three KVs, the KV1s with the l-11 cannon and the "S" variant. i also have the KV2. these are all monsters to play on the battlefield, though the best Ive ever had was with the KV2 just stranded in the middle of nowhere on the mozdok map and the enemy team tried getting their shells at me but i survived almost all shots and destroyed like 3 - 4 enemy before i died. But the flaws of the KV (not of the kv2) was that their armor isnt always going to protect you. and their guns sometimes fail to pen other tanks due to less than 100mm pen (I alr have that much pen in japan with the chi nu, chi ha lg, and the m24). but overall the KV is one of the best tank series ive ever played.
Personally, the ZiS-5 is my favorite as it makes me feel like a god. Unpenable and yet still able to kill plenty of enemies, that tank will do serious damage if you use it right.
1st time I fought a kv 220 my team went head on and I think it got 7 of us before a light tank flanked it.. Well the light tank couldn't kill it either xD
I was in a match where everyone went to the C point and a enemy kw2 rushed to the point and got blasted by the whole team, it was too angry to die, only the driver was alive and it was taking hits from everywere, i tried to ammorack it with my STUH and HEAT round but it wasnt enough, at the end it burned because it was hit on the motor
The kw2 is my favorite because its almost identical to the kv2 but it doesn't have to fight german guns Its really good for grinding sl and in combination with the pz.bef.wg.iv you can get an average of 60k sl per game. Sometimes i brawl in close quarters in the kw2 and win plus i can even hold a point alone.
Air RB player here. Is there any way you guys could add ambient temperature, air pressure and humidity to the mission screen for each battle ? It would be good to know how much we could push our engines as well as how hard it will be to climb to altitude, plus a rough idea of when we can expect to conn at height.
That moment when A KV-2 Got downtiered, you round a corner, and see 152mm of Pure Soviet Beast staring at you
I have taken down this steel beast many times when it was downtiered and I still do not show it fear.
@@wildcard5369 i mean yeah, long af reload
@@cheese7071 yeah kv2 arent really scary if you know how to deal with them, or hit their cheeks
Yea I was playing 2.7 and this thing was around the corner
i was playing my american 2.7 line up. i saw a KV-2 turn the corner, then missed my M5A1
This is a certified 1940 KV-2 production variant being a rare premium while the 1939 prototype sits in the tech tree Gaijin moment
The production one has worse flat armor
Snail moment

@@quarkedbutt3957 lmao, since only Germany have that kind of kv (huge gun with muzzle brake and weird looking turret), why would anyone still fooled by it?
now KV1B is another story
Woe upon you.
Fun fact, that turret is an actual modification for the KV 1 line, the 1942 variant to be exact. But no the cannon obviously
The Zis-6 was my first premium, I got it when it first came out and it remains my favourite tank all these years later
Not my first premium but its def my favorite. I use it anytime I play 5.3 Soviet and it never fails to curb stomp.
I remember once, a KV-2 missed his target (a Panzer IV) and hit me (a Panzer III) instead
My turret literally left the physical map
Kv2 crew: task failed succesfully
You weren't the target...
@@kv2_tankUhhh
Thanks 😅
Why does Stalin hate you for that particular round? Not an insult but I feel like the KV 2's shell was guided by Stalin and hit you I would be very much confuse as well.
I love the KV-1E, paired with KV-1 ZiS 5. I use that mostly when playing downtier and it's so fun.
Bounce every time
The KV-1S was such fun when I used it. For some reason I never noticed it having less armour, plus the new turret design it has is very trolly when it comes to bouncing shells.
they forgot to say the kv220 turret can bounce a long 88mm
Whaddya mean War Thunder is pay to win????? ( KV-220 and IS-6)
To the both of you, and as a 220 player, no, it really doesn’t bounce long 88s, as long as the shot doesn’t hit the cheeks, and it’s good to give Germany a taste of their own medicine at 5.7 so😁

Any chance we'll actually see the 1940's KV-2 again?
I hope so
Up
No i don't think so

KV-IB is my absolute favorite tank to play. It's a moving bunker and smart shot placement turns it into a killing machine.

@@Sultanhakim3 - My, aren't you inspirational.
The KV-1's are my favourite heavy tanks especiialy the KV-1S, it actually has such a nice reverse gear.
I love all the KV series tanks.
It's amazing that Warthunder can add non-made and non-used tanks and vehicles, planes, boats, etc.
My favourite one is the kv1 zis 5 , it stood alive against an attack of 5 tigers and I did double kill with it and I defeat a plane with a Canon shot, its incredible.
wonder if they'll do an art of winning for the churchill tanks. there's quite a few of them and it might be interesting
the churchill iii is definetly suffering, with solidshot bouncing from flat armor and all. funnily enough, the 6-pounder had apds ammo.
4:34 that recoil though Jesus 😂
The KV-1 C german tank is what helped me grind up to the early cold war tanks... so it's my favorite XD
You Guys Made an Insane Game. Thank You For Making It Free
You guys should add the KV-8 flamethrower tank..........?

Great video, I hope you'd make something like this regarding the Pz III and Pz IV tanks
The KV-1C756 was OP at times, but since the BR got changed it feels very underpowered. Atleast for me.
KV-1 (L-11) monster of low br and KV 85 it's not a perfect tank but it's do his job pretty well for me
KV2 turrets also could not turn while on a hill due to the uneven weight distribution
Gaijin could you please explain the TBA Multi Dart 100 and how to use it ?

The KV series is ridiculously easy to deal with War Thunder.
You shoot them in the lower front plate or flank and shoot, then watch the fireworks.
I would take this videos weak spot hints to heart if I didn't already know that VOLUMETRIC would eat 80% of them.
Thumbnail: shows a couple KV’s
BT42: *Yes I am a KV*
turn yo gamma up
Usually I’m the lead tank going to a capture point when im using kv-1s
irl it wasn't jsut the loaders reloading, the commander and gunner had to help reload the KV-2 aswell
I only have three KVs, the KV1s with the l-11 cannon and the "S" variant. i also have the KV2. these are all monsters to play on the battlefield, though the best Ive ever had was with the KV2 just stranded in the middle of nowhere on the mozdok map and the enemy team tried getting their shells at me but i survived almost all shots and destroyed like 3 - 4 enemy before i died.

To win in a kv-tank you have to do nothing, let the bias do it for you
Personally, the ZiS-5 is my favorite as it makes me feel like a god. Unpenable and yet still able to kill plenty of enemies, that tank will do serious damage if you use it right.
I loved KW II 754 (r) but after gaijin removed its AP rounds and left it only with HE/HESH it wasnt that good anymore. I rarely play it nowdays :/
My favorite are the Kv 1 B and the Kv 220
1st time I fought a kv 220 my team went head on and I think it got 7 of us before a light tank flanked it.. Well the light tank couldn't kill it either xD
8:05 he told " it's well protected " while it got hit in the turret killing Gunner and other crew members
Will you ever add the br changing for bots in custom battles?
KV-2
In wotb i tried the kv-122 also known as kv-1s but with a up gunned turret
9:14 lol good luck with that when 90% of jumbos you face will have the entire front of the hull covered in bushes
Art of Winning on KV-2:
Step 1: Peek out
Step 2: Get hit in your gun breech
Step 3: Repair for a minute
Step 4: Reload for a minute
repeat
Step 5: get bombed
One time i was playing on cargo port i rounded a corner and a KV-2 was staring me dead in the eye
What about ships?

Best kv is the kv 220 hands down 19 kills in my first match with this beast
5:00 there is also an other KV-2… the KV-2 ZiS6
Good question gajin
I literally bounced a KV-2 shell in a Sherman. Stalinium vs americium at its finest

Now, Doktor, let's talk about the KV-54...
The BT42 has the fridge on top, he's still family.

This is the video that made me download War Thunder.
KV-85 is awesome
“We are gonna balance this tank with a ‘weak’ gun. It can only pen around 70mm so balanced! Even though that can still pen most tanks”
APHEBC is armor-piercing-high-explosive-ballistic-copped shell, right?
It'd be cool if anyone could get the KV-2 (1940) but the was years ago, and there aren't any left on the market.
Fun for the person who drives it, and a nightmare for the person who has to deal with it
Alr, who made the thumbnail
