As I said, I looked at the ones I played recently. I will be the first to admit that I was horrible for much of my time spent playing, as is quite visible, as you can see, from my high tier tanks, and actually a lot of my mid tier tanks as well. It’s only through the personal guidance of a very good CC and multiple other good players that I improved.
Well the 2s25 really wasn’t a hard choice to uptier, it’s got a good round and good mobility.
But since you want to go by stats and not pros / cons, I can start playing my German KV-1 and have far beyond all my other kds. I could also pick up the new Swedish one and do the same.
The reason I didn’t move the KV-1E is it has maus syndrome, it’s awful in an uptier, semi godly in a downtier. But, the German KV-1B is incredibly better as it rarely sees any high velocity guns which can easily pen it, unlike the KV-1E which mostly fights Germany.
Add in the fact, most people just randomly aim and fire at it, doesn’t help.
Again, the IS-6 stat is less than my T29 stat by a good margin. But how come you didn’t bring that up?
My T-54 stats come from when they were all lower br.
If you want an accurate stat look at the Swedish one.
Abrams and Leo 2a4 Pz. Bt stats are pretty high too, so why are you cherry picking so hard?
Isn’t the Finnish KV-1A held back since its the only 4.7 tank? Im pretty sure the LVKV 42 is the closest vehicle BR wise and its a spaa/TD
Compared to my 4.0 German or Soviet lineup which has a lot more vehicles to pull from.
Also why even mention the Finnish KV-1A? Its a worse Zis-5 since you have round turret edges unlike the 127mm angled edges of the Zis-5. Seems a bit odd but im willing to hear it out if you have a reason why that thing is special.
The 2s38 lacks survivability, it is better in fire power than say the Beglit, but no where on par with an hstvl.
The abrams already reloads faster than its irl data suggests. Sure, give it M829a3, but also bring the reload back up to 6.3 secs (this is lower than average btw, if I find the most in which I did the math, I think the average equated to something above 6.5 secs). So an “ace crew” would have to be 6.3 or higher, yet I don’t think the abrams is all that bad tbh.
Yes the Finnish KV-1 has no line up as far as i remember, but at the same rate, it had the up armored rounded turret which is either volumetric hell or really good, but it has the lower pen gun over the German KV-1 with the 75mm
Kv-1C 5.0
Kv-1 fin 4.7
Kv-1 Zis-6 4.3
It’s understandable why they should be those brs. Especially with the different turrets alone. A M4a3e2 cannot pierce the turret at all on tbe KV-1C pretty much.
And considering the KV-1 for Russia has the weaker gun, and the weaker turret, I’m amazed it’s right under the god tier KV-1C
What about the KV-1A is more amored than the Zis-5? Rounded turret with weaker armor than it should have irl which is 105, it has 90mm and since you can’t angle the turret like the Zis-5 ill take the Zis-5 over it. Maybe the chassis has armor but last i remember. Finnish KV-1 has 70mm hull armor over the 75 on the Zis-5, i may be wrong though so if you see a difference let me know.
Also both the KV-1A and Zis-5 have the same gun, maybe it comes down to preference but i prefer the stronger box turret for angling vs the turret which cant angle. Another bonus is lineup, id say for lineup alone the KV-1A is kinda worthless, most ive seen get bombed then leave since they have 4.0 TD’s with no armor and a T-34 1941 that weighs more than the soviet version since gaijin copy pasted the spaded weight with the track armor.
KV-1 Zis-5 is the old box turret with the Zis-5 gun.
Fin KV-1A is the older cast turret which should have 105mm armor all around but some docs put it at 115mm-120mm as the later cast turrets were made with less armor to put less stress on the turret ring.
So you have the same tank with the same gun, but the Soviet version has 5mm better hull armor and a better turret for angling the 90mm to about 127mm, the KV-1A can angle about 100mm so worse armor, volumetric maybe when it first came out but the vehicle got a armor fix a while back to nerf it so idk if you’re using older knowledge or not.
Honestly i advocated to remove it, since gaijin gave the stupid tiger as a replacement for them deciding the KV-1B will never go to Finland. Literally imo the KV-1A is worthless since the KV-1B would’ve had a lineup lol.
I hate it, i don’t care about it, trust me i have it but id rather Finland get their actual vehicles. Where is the Sturmi? Probably gonna sell it to us…
Again imo the KV-1A needs an actual lineup to warrant existing since 4.0 TD’s on sweden are basically just jokes lol.
Sturmi and T34-76 (the one on germany at 4.3) would be good additions to the finnish continuation war lineup, also the ISU-152 with the Lahti 20mm rifle on the roof
I’m honestly surprised. As Sweden bias in the KungsTiger has done some crazy things, like penning the roof of the KT H from 300 meters. And so on. It bounces quite a lot. But I don’t think it should be the same br as a KT H.
