If most of the other tanks I prompted to move do move, the Kv-220 would likely stay 6.0
However, it would still receive the 7.4 → 6.7 sec reload buff.
because it has a stab doesn’t make that a difference, its slow, bad reload, bad shell and mid armor
I’d like to push back a little but on the bad shell argument. The conqueror’s shell is finnicky, sure, but it’s very good. Gaijin absolutely needs to fix it, but it’s not at all bad.
The armor package makes it amazing.
The round is great, the reload isn’t the worst thing… it’s no Is-4 or IS-3
Stab it just the cherry on top.
kv220 dominates at down tiers and suffers in up tier, its okey as it is now
its British apds, so many times it does nothing
still its bad and you want it to go to 8.0 where will be able to see 9.0…
It quite literally cannot play 6.7 or 7.0 matches…
It doesn’t have the mobility / penetration required for these brs.
5.0s can kill it easily. It has about 80mm~ armor around the breech.
You can command hatch it very easily as well, which almost always kills the gunner, a loader, and the commander.

really ? in theory yes but never in action
good luck hitting it
yea i have never seen a kv220 without 10 killos of bushes on top of it
you have the Kv220 yourself go play 5 games and come back and tell me how many kills you take
me too but sometimes they forget to do damage
you’re just wrong. I absolutely adore the conqueror but god this thing is easy to kill. It has the requisite stabilized british tank godawful ammo layout
(seriously why is this ammo rack the primary one)
and a bigass door on the front of the turret
.
Again, I love the conqueror, I love playing the conqueror, but it’s not REMOTELY good enough to justify going to 8.0. A 15 second reload in the land of ~7 second 105 reloads is just inherently going to kill the viability this thing has.
I don’t generally use bushes myself. I hate people that do.
I avoid playing my 220 despite me liking the tank… because all I ever get are 6.7 or 7.0 matches and a KT makes me go back to the hanger instantly.
Lastly, if the KV-220 has to aim at you to fire, then you can always shoot the breech… nothing to do with luck.
me too
but still you have a pretty good k/d on it
no idea what the rest of your post was getting at…
But in terms of reload, the IS-2/3/4/6 all reload the slowest, and yet are the same BR as things like the KT, or the Conquerer, T32E1, etc etc.
But unlike the Conquerer which gets HEAT-FS and atgm protection, those Soviet ones get pierced once and tend to explode thanks to gaijin for putting the ammo literally all over in the tank for no reason.
Yes I have a good KDr in it, because I only play it in 6.3 or 6.0 matches.
If it’s 6.7 or above, I generally spawn my T-V panther in as it’s gun is still usable at those brs.
The armor is not as good as you think it is and you unironically lose any engagement to a heat-fs vehicle if they can see your lower front plate thanks to the ammo layout being like that. The add-on armor is only heat-fs protection against bad players and atgm players will just go for the big ass forehead door anyway.
I’ve had people shoot me there too. Still lived it.
You can see on statshark I boast a 3.30 KDr in it. It’s not bad by any means.
I’m not calling the conqueror bad. I think it’s a very good tank. It’s also a very flawed tank. The flaws more than make up for the genuinely excellent upsides and 7.7 is exactly where it should be (also gaijin please make the round more consistent I’ve bounced on an unangled maus turret cheek exactly where I’m supposed to shoot it to get the gunner)
also do not perceive my stats with the conqueror my KD does not remotely reflect how much I love playing it.
Also, I hate to high horse, but you barely have 4k matches, I have 18k matches and a good KDr…
So, I think I would have a well informed idea of where vehicles should be no?
Well informed does not necessarily mean correct. Especially when you’re downplaying the very real downsides the conqueror has and overplaying the upsides. The conqueror is perfectly fine at 7.7 and would be made substantially worse by a BR increase.
