every tank has armor weaknesses dog, it came free with the armor profile

Wdym every time i play the tiger, the enemy are just free kills
Is that how it works? After I list so many good arguments you say that I didn’t list anything? 😂 This is a discussion I created for the purpose of calibrating a battle rating for one tank and make the experience BETTER for everyone, related to the battle rating itself specifically. After I’ve got 10-15 kills consistently in tanks around the 3.7 range, something that would be impossible in the KV2 just because of the reload, I think it’s fair to say that the KV2 is not equal in performance to those tanks. And if you say that it’s not supposed to perform, then why put a BR system in the first place, let’s just make ww1 tanks fight T90M “for the memes” . I listed the Sherman 105 that was put to 3.0 that is practically armoured similarly, good mobility, 3 times quicker reload, 50cal, smoke shells, with a lower profile (a hard to penetrate well angled turret). I don’t see why listing how other heavy tanks perform would be relevant, but you probably just want to make this discussion irrelevant. Anyway, the 3.7 KV1 has the same hull armour but 4 times faster reload with a cannon that does well for the BR, and a bouncy, low profile turret. There’s the 4.0 medium sherman and T34E that I got 15 kills with in an uptier after I stopped playing war thunder for 3 years. There’s no amount of “hiding after shooting” you can do with the KV2 to get those results. The only way to play it currently is shoot once, hide, look outside for half a minute, then shoot again. As a bonus the HE sometimes gets eaten by a track or MG. Why would this be the only way to play this heavy tank, and why would this heavy tank’s armour be obsolete against enemies it faces at the same BR or lower.
TLDR the KV-2 is fine where it is currently regarding it’s BR and needs no changes. Your arguments are whack. Simple as.

Tbh, I respectfully disagree with you. I think (unless it is historically accurate) the KV-2’s reload should be shorted.
What if I told you it’s already artificially shortened?

Then it should be shorted again lol
Yeah, no.

Um, its like 45 seconds. Thats pretty long and kinda painful
Then don’t miss and don’t put yourself in a position where you’re unsupported by your teammates. It’s a literal non-issue if you apply more than 2 braincells to your gameplay.

I do hit my target a lot, but with a 45s reload, I HAVE to get a kill. If I get a non-pen or do miss, then I have to hope they don’t pen me. Plus, if I do get a kill, it’s now 45s of time I cannot get a kill
Oh boohoo, your big ole’ gun that one shots basically everything has a long reload to compensate.
Be grateful it doesn’t have the IRL reload, otherwise you’d be sitting longer and waiting.

tbh I feel like it’s just a wase. You’ve got this tank with a huge gun and great armor, but a 45s reload. If they shorted it to at least 20-25s, that could make a big difference in how many kills you can get.
… You do realize that such a short reload would see it seeing a massive increase in its BR, right?
So you want the KV-2 to be uptiered all the way to 5.0BR, where its armor would be practically worthless and it’d be a glorified tank destroyer? Because that’s what would happen if you artificially shorten the reload anymore, especially that much.
Look, you’re new here. I see that and I get it, but I’m telling you straight up - The KV-2 is just fine where it’s at in the BR and as it is. It needs no changes. You just need to adjust your playstyle. It’s that simple. If you can’t do that, then don’t play the KV-2. Go play the KV-1 instead.
This isn’t World of Tanks, lad. Don’t try to make it like that game. We got enough of our own issues over here.

I still think it should reduced. Now to be fair I will try a different play style and see how I do, but I still feel like with such 45s it is very unforgiving, and even more so for new players with it being at 3.7. So for a new player who sees this huge tank with a big gun, but miss and can do anything for 45s, its kinda unfair.
Don’t bother arguing with this guy, he is not the sharpest tool in the shed but acts like he is.

ok. thanks for the tip!
historically accurate reloads are all pretty much a meme anyways, gaijin uses them as a balancing factor
