Just checked. Statshark show that both of you are classified as “very good players” with overall great stats - so both of you are very good on all tanks.
Considering that the average and the median are used for balancing, your results would not be taken into account, as they are extremely high — just as extremely low values are also excluded.
90% of KV1E battles are uptiers to 4.7 already. At full uptier it struggles to pen some heavier tanks. At 5.3 it would struggle even more
I think this thing is a case that would benefit from reducing the BR spread of 1.0 - as it could not sealclub 3.3s but would not have to struggle with 5.3
dw, misreading happens :-) But i was so ready to follow that discussion :-( reading the arguments for why it should stay at 4.0 to continue to absolutely club 3.3 would have been so fun. because it absolutely does dominate at 3.0 and even 3.3 so it makes no sense for it being at 4.0
I used the E model a few battle pass seasons ago to get that challenge done for getting the adamant award multiple times, I literally just parked in the open, Angled, And sat there letting people shoot me without shooting back and got the task done in just a couple games.
The E/B are like the only tanks in the game where you can be a pacifist and still be in the upper middle of the teams scoreboard from all the shots you bounce.
Last time i abused the B model was back when the Jumbo was 5.0 and the M4A1/A2 76 and M18 where at 4.7/5.0 and still managed a 4.2 K/D in it, Even if it went up by .3 it would still not face many of the tanks it used to fight, Its crazy how long its been able to dodge the BR changes when multiple other KV models have been moved up.
The reason why it dodged those raises is because it’s OP, plain and simple
People don’t buy it because the tank is historical or because it has a different armament,people know you can’t pen it easily,amd if it’s angled you can’t pen it at all
Sure,you can still be OHK if you find a competent player or if you don’t know how to play it’but you simply have 2 requisites:
Angle
Be aware of your surroundings
Hell,i find the KV-220 easier to kill than the KV-1E/B
The average doesn’t take into account rank of vehicles played. So people who mostly play < Rank VI will have better stats, as both of these players do. Doesn’t inherently mean they’re better in all tanks.
It’s surprising,i know,but even not angled,you just can’t pen it: not on the LFP,not on the UFP,not even the turret front. If you’re lucky you can hit the MG or the turret ring,and on the sides you must be extremely precise otherwise the tracks will eat the round
Anything with a 17pdr works. The Sherman firefly/Avenger deals with it in an uptier, where it probably will get molested by Panthers instead, and Achillies deals with it in a downtier
