I do believe we have, as it has not 47 but 75mm cannon. Or was it P.40…
p.s. ah yes, it was P.40 but M.43. Such nonsence.
yeah but with any angle you can pen the side of jagpanzer so if he exposes his side you can go right through no problem
BUT if a KV-7 U13 is even angled 2 degrees you cant pen its side
theres like 5 tanks that can pen it frontally and 20 that cant all of them are super high tier or glass cannons someone playing 3.3 has zero chance to counter such thing if hes not playing anything thats not a glass cannon
only 2 3.3s can pen it frontally wow whats a sherman gonna do ? die thats what it can pen it snail save you if your in a PZIII its literally unkillable in downtier
and youll be able to do nothing if he has a team
Every german 3.3 can pen it frontally equipped with 75mm. Plot twist, there is only 1 3.3 panzer having 50mm , and it gets apcr, what may go trough but lacking damage
plot twist both of those 3.3s are glass cannons wow the F2 can be 50cal to death and the G is only a little better due to front plate but turret is just as thin
you can also angle and the 75 may bounce for long ones
Count again if you get only 2 tanks what pens it
extremely difficult for fixed arc tank destroyers to be OP. They are bad in cities, limiting their usefullness. mobility disables are often fatal. Unable to take advantage of a lot of cover due to lack of turret. And they take longer to get set into position. All for… small armor advantage in a game where precision shots are easy.
Across all nations, pretty much only the SU-122, jpz 4/5, and ho-ri production are standouts.
At 4.3, most nations have a good selection of 120+ pen vehicles, in addition to the ability to mobility disable the kv-7. bad gun depression means you expose your weak points and can’t use most cover. Not really a viable threat.
The Kv-7 has two sides. It’s either the most OP tank in the game, or it’s completely helpless. Facing 90% of enemies, it’s completely OP. Facing a Hetzer, Jagdpanzer 4, VK 3002, and (to some degree) M4A3 (105) however, it’s helpless.

one could argue it similar to jag tiger which facing things like M50 or basically anything with HEAT FS it can be disabled and killed while anything else that fights it is screwed
literally 6 of them sit 3.3 :/
3 panzer IVs, 2 Achillesses, 1 M10
And no, 75mm of Sherman does pretty good against it when you engage CQC. It has several weakspots in front
And the KV-7 would have some troubles penning shermans as well
There is also an M10 in the french tree
Ah so there`s two! Thank you.
Also there’s 3.7 ARL44 which also pens it pretty well
Yep. Also in an uptier it face the ARL 44 at 5.3 which just vaporises it
we aint even taking an uptier in account)
In an uptier its as useless as it is good at downtier
Only the M4A3 (105).
KV-7: misses
me: should aim for smol weakspot on an enirely bushed up wiggling KV-7 spamming 45mm at ur tracks and I only know it’s KV-7 because of the 45mms shooting me
ive seen angled KV-7s bounce dicker max 88s KV1 Zis 5 cant even do that its 4.7
No, not only that. M4A2 is closely unpennable with additional armor (4.0), M4 and M4A4 at 3.7 also has some advantage - KV-7 would need to aim for two weakspots on the hull or try shootng side armor if possible. Only easy target is M4A1 which is, i mean, shoud be that way as it has 3.3
well thats how it goes with armored techs. You also can make two shots to the tracks with your sherman, as you have 5 seconds reload against his 8

The M4’s hull weakspots, and the M4A2’s weak cheek are easier to hit than the Kv-7’s weakspot.
thats also true, thats why they are 3.7 and not 4.3
