Anybody have an opinion on this?
Keep or rise to 5.3, I like to see Swedish players complaining about their vehicle not performing better than others.
Personally 4.7
A piss poor take because you dislike a nation isn’t really helping anyone now is it?

No it’s not, I agree with you. Even knowing how bad low tier Sweden can be, I just don’t like the kind of players that mainly play Sweden, specially high tiers.
Again being against someone for a nations BR is dumb. Like i love 6 0 Russia for the KV-220 and TV cause its literally seal clubbing or 4.3 german prem tonk lineup. Or 6.7-7.0 US if you hate an entire nation over one BR its a childish take imo.
Again, I agree with you, same as you like specific BR I do, 8.0 - 8.7 on Sweden got a few options of good vehicles, except Strv 104 had bad experiences with that, but again, is it dumb, yes it’s, the argument is just inexistent, but I still on the “I don’t like people that mainly play Sweden on high tiers” say.
Its a slightly better gun than the KV-1B/E while having worse armor. The KV-1A has a 60mm hole in the turret and cant angle the turret for extra thickness like the KV-1B/E and also still has less turret armor than its supposed. The nodel is still clearly a work in progress as the machingun port isnt properly modeled and makes it bot be a weakspot like that of other KV’s. Its also got the wrong rpm and the chassis armor values are all over the place. Its a weird case as vehicles like the T14 are better but also sit at 4.7, id say compression is the major problem but this thing should only be .3 above the KV-1B/E especially since they have 25mm plates on the side giving them nore armor than the KV-220 at certain angles.

I dont play high tier unless im spading, the bigger the lineup the more likely it is to be my major nation. I play sweden a ton. Mainly for the 3.7-6.7 though 8.0-8.7 is imo their best lineup. Top tier is not my favorite lineup since imo japan is a better nation for me. The fast mobility, hydraulic suspension. 4.0 sec reloads fit my aggressive flanking playstyle of which swedens only tank that can compare is the 90120 which isnt nearly on par with my TKX(p) imo.
Also top tier ground is boring regardless of nation. I find 9.3 and below are much better. 9.3 US is my fav 9.3 lineup anyways.
Its an upgrade over the 4.7 Zis-5, and you want it a lower BR at 4.3?
Same br as kv85
The Turret is marginally stronger but the rear hull especially is a lot thinner. It’s less so an upgrade (and even if it is it’s marginal) as it’s a side grade. It should be 4.7 same as the Zis-5 but sweden doesn’t have anything between 4.0 and 5.0 anyway so it’s not like it’d really matter… Unless you’re a 1 death leaving twat
Omg this thing should be 4.3 because any verhicle in 4.7 and 5.0 would kill this Finnish KV-1.
Its not an upgrade? It cant angle the turret for 127mm armor like the Zis-5. The turret is 100 all around. Angle it and you create more weakspots though. Its also slower. This is a sidegrade at best but yes lets be ignorant and not compare the vehicles. We can also mention that the Zis-5 gets better hull armor also.
It should be BR 4.7 why not 4.3? Because you can buy it easier as the 4.0 KV-IB and is more available.

I have only been playing about 3 years but I have more or less up to mid tier in most nations. I’m thinking if you want to do Battle Pass and use a heavy tank why play Sweden anyway? Why not just flick across to Russia or Germany ,get your kills then there.
I don’t play Sweden for Heavy tanks,I play to sample the odd vehicles they have which are inherently Swedish and made for Swedish terrain.Fast ,light and well armed.
I don’t want to veer off topic in my own topic but maybe the game is losing its vision a bit.
I mean ,yeah if you want to play KV1s play Russia,they have them all for free pretty much or the KV1E cheap in the sales.
