KW-1B 755(r)

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

[Ghostmaxi]

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

KV-1A - Klimi a Finnish KV-1 model 1942

poll [145406_137435] KV-1 does not require much intoructions. It is one of the best known heavy tanks with Tigers and IS-2. In 1941 when Finnish forces advanced to retake Karelia, they encountered several of these heavily armored vehicles, most of them being up armored KV-1Es. Most were taken out by AT-mines, satchel charges or Molotov coctails and a single one claimed by lucky 45mm AT-gun. Two of these KV-1s were captured by Finnish forces and kept around all the way to 1955. [135367_123889…

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

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

Pz.Kpfw. KV-1A 753 (r) Flamm - Heavy FIREpower

poll TL;DR: A KV-1 fitted with a hull-mounted flamethrower captured by Germany. [photo_4_1510743824.jpg] History: The most common type of enemy a tank can face will always be infantry which, while generally not as dangerous as dedicated anti-tank units, can pose serious issues for any advancing tank, especially if equipped with man-portable anti-tank weapons. As such, it is important for tanks to have ways of dealing with this kind of enemy. Coaxial/hull mounted machine guns as well as hi…

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

[S3b5]

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

[Pheonix_RX01]

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.

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

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

[SmørentheBustard]

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

[MadMax_666]

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

[VS17panel]

i am 99.999% it didn’t

[MadMax_666]

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

[Ghostmaxi]

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

[SnakeMantis007]

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.
