The kv1b is seal clubbing me so I don’t want to play anymore. I play the normal kv1 and t34 1940 and I can’t pen anything in a semi-upteir while they go through my UFP like it is made of paper. (never ever have seen a full downier Imao)
the KV-IB has a (slightly) worse shell than the tech tree USSR KV-1 (which is two BR steps lower as well) as well as the T-34 so i don’t really know what you are talking about here.
just play more and learn it weakspot… everyone start from aboustly rubbish…you are quite a new player take some time learning how to fight.
They are just rage posting me thinks.
what is the weak spot? the turrent ring?
The driver’s port
can I pen that with APHE? I don’t bring solid AP due to horrific post pen damage
Yeah. But which KV-1 are you using? The L-11 one? because the others should ahve no issue with the much better cannon
if u have 150mm+ of pentraction u can shoot the side of it turret, however if you don’t have it best to just to shoot the Driver port or the gunner port.
If the driver is competent (as most KV-1E/B players should be), they’ll angle their hull at 45 degrees and use bushes to cover weak spots, making it pretty hard to hit the weak spots (drivers hatch and machine gun port). If they’re facing you straight on then they’re doing something wrong. Side on the lower hull, back of the turret, and the turret face are the only other major weak spots.
The biggest handicap with this tank is it has the L-11 gun which makes it difficult to pen M4A2s, other T-34s/KV-1s, and bunch of German TDs. It’s in a weird spot in the BR where it clubs tanks at 3.3-4.3 BR, but against 4.7-5.0+ tanks you’re pretty much going to get clubbed yourself.
Yes the l11 one with APHE only
Also, I didn’t pen the back of the turrent when I flanked point blank, is that normal for the l11 version?
yes. try using the solid AP for heavier armed targets
But the post pen is absolutely horrible! I penned the hull of the panzer 4 and only turned his driver yellow
I might be biased since I play France and am used to solid shot. But what I meant was to use the solid shot for heavier targets. anything else can be killed with APHE
So Brin like 5-10 solid shot and 20+ ache you mean?
I would say 20 APHE 2-3 HE and about 5 solid shot. You don’t want too many rounds.
