KW-1B 755(r)

I think that person meant in comparisson to the KW-1C 766 (r) 7,5 cm KwK 40 which is at 5.0

17

And the KV-1 3.7 with the Zis 5 gun which the KV-1A will have is 4.7

So better armor and that gun will make it the same BR as the german KV-1C because the BR’s are compressed

18

The KV-1A 1942 has the cast armor turret, so same armor as the KV-1B but it also has the KV-1 Zis-5 gun. The KV-1 Zis-5 has the 3.7 KV-1 armor but the better gun brings it to 4.7 with 99mm pen ap and 96mm pen aphe. So why would the tank with better armor and the same gun be lower than the KV-1 Zis-5

19

No? The ZiS-5 is only found on the KW-1C 756(r) of the earlier kind without the Cast turret at the earlierst.
The Kw-1A is the normal L-11.

The KV-1A Klimi for finland has the Zis-5 gun

22

But the KW-1A 753(r) does not. Its the 1940s series early unarmored L-11.
I think here was a missunderstanding.

KV-1 model 1942
Crew - 5
Weight - 47 tons
Horsepower - 600
Gears - 5 forward, 1 reverse
Top speed - 35km/h foward, 7km/h reverse
Gun - 76mm ZiS-5
Armor
-Hull Front - 75mm + 25mm
-Hull Sides - 75mm
-Hull Rear - 60mm
-Turret 105mm all around

You’re right the KV-1C has a better gun so it should go up in BR /s (joke incase the /s isn’t understood)

These tanks need to have their BR’s looked at with the 1942 being added

24

Kv-1A (of FInland) =/= KW-1A 753(r) (of Germany)
These are 2 completly different tanks!

25

I was still referring to his original statement that the KV-1A wouldbe 4.3, it wont it will be 5.0 and again inferior to the german model at 5.0

26

if you really wanna keep it “as is” they could make the current skin an optional camo (not unlockable, you just kinda get it)

27

And yes which is why the KV-1A is a bad choice and why the B would be better. Sweden doesnt have a good or really a lineup at 5.0 4.0 would be a better area.

28

i love this tank. but i do not think Finland ever had it

29

+1

More WW2 tank is always better. Specially heavy tank for German mid-tier.

30

I own the KV-1B, for all its worth, I would not mind it going to the swedish tech tree. Good suggestion

31

Am I wrong in believing that KV 1 tanks also used Sabot shells in WW2?

32

i am 99.999% it didn’t

33

Thanks, I have seen the Russian movie " Tankers ", and noticed the KV-1’s were using sabot. That was why I thought to ask here. Cheers

34

No, it did not use sabots, and especially the most often not historic and biased russian movies are not a valid source. :)

I see no problem to change the current KV1-B in the German tech tree into the KW-1B 755(r).

After all Gaijin already do that in the past with the CV 90105 TML situation. So it’s a win-win for everyone and give the possibility to Sweden/Finland to have a another heavy tank… of course premium, knowing Gaijin.
