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.
The “also a French vehicle” wasn’t an additional point jspene was trying to make, he was saying that the CLOVIS is a vehicle not just of German, but French design as well.
KV-1C has the incorrect armor of the KV-1A, KV-1A was the early turret before the armor was reduced to put less stress on the turret ring. The gun on the A is too poor to give it the armor so gaijin swapped their armor values so the C with the light turret has the light weight but thicker armor.
105mm same as the 105mm from the add on plates on the KV-1B/E which also have 25mm plates over the crew compartment making them the nost armored KV’s
TO-55 loses a coax, for a gimmick, it also has no dart, or APDS if i remember. Hence the slightly lower br.
T-10A has a low speed stabalizer, and nothing but APHE, with the worst reload at that br by far.
Obj.140 is like a weird side grade to the T-55A, although I have no experience in it, fighting it hasn’t been too troublesome. Nor do I commonly see this tank.
The turret armor (the thing the KV-1E is kinda lacking) is made up for in the KV.1942 turret. Which is what the KV-1C. It can block the M4a3E2 rounds pretty darn reliably.
The pak the kv-1c (or Pz.IV H gun) is quite potent, and it leagues better than the KV-1E, not only boasting what, 145mm pen? But good HE filler.
These combined make it far more lethal than the KV-1E hence the big br difference. The only way the 1E should go up, is if it gets a better shell, which it won’t.
Do you have any source for that? Seems pretty made up. Also, no the total armor of the KV-1E/B isn’t over 105mms… where did you even get that from?
Only thing that doesn’t make any sense is T-54 and TO-55 are in the same br, one of them clearly better everywhere, the T-55 is fully stabilized, has better zoom, faster turret turning rate and similar ammunition choices, also at 8.0 the Chinese T-54s are basically an upgraded version of RU T-54 with stabilizers and better zoom, they are clearly not equal. Just blame the compression
Oh i see. Sorry i thought the DF-105 was the only duplicated vehicle in this patch but finally Gaijin added this one too for both nations.
BTW is not a bit soon for suggest changes in this one? we are talking about a vehicles added 48 hours ago.
Full stabilizer in 8.0 when regular T-54s or another 8.0 dont get acces to stbz.
Same, acces to stabilizer when the other 7.7 only can dream with that,
