Then explain why after playing 2000 matches, in both KV1 B and E you get killed quite often by a variety of random tanks and not just a PZ??
Heck Ive died in it from BT’s, M5A1’s so on so forth! ITS NOT as OP as one would led to believe. its very much on HOW you use it! just like every other tank in this game.!
And that’s enough for it’s BR, especially when combined with APHE. The Shermans of the same BR only have 104, and the Churchill VII at 4.7 has 104 without APHE.
You shouldn’t be dying to an M5A1 in your Kv-1E/B
It is super OP, because its armour can easily resist almost any gun it faces when angled. To put it simply: its armour increase is worst 0.7 Brs over the standard Kv-1, because plenty of 100mm thick armour is unreasonable at 4.0. In the 41 matches I’ve played, I have only 3 losses, and a KD of 4.42, which says to me that it needs to go up in BR.
I have no idea how you can call something not OP when you have a KD of 3.31 in the E, and 3.55 in the B.
Both of them are equally good, and deserve the same BR.
And it’s enough for 4.0, and enough for 4.3. You can’t give something 5.X equivalent armour with a 3.X gun and put it at 4.0. I genuinely don’t understand how anyone can think that it isn’t OP.
I’m 99% sure the Kv-1E/B has better armour than than the C does. The Kv-1C also has a 4.0/4.3 level gun, and it only shows up so low due to German players sucking, and the Panzers being sub par platforms when compared to Shermans or T-34s.
