It’s just because people dont know about weak spots at that BR, they have to learn where to shoot tanks in order to kill or damage them at least. By dying they will eventually understand where to shoot.
That will disable the tank. That doesn’t mean much when he is at range or has team mates.
He can literally just ram into you while his team mates finish you off.
after the breech of the gun, you can finish it off by shooting at the “letter envelope” or the corners above/below the turret, I managed to do this on Shermans and other tanks
Allies are too unpredictable a factor, the KV-1E may not have any at all or they may help you and divert its fire onto themselves

Yeah and now compare that with every other vehicle at 4.3 and below and you notice that nothing with a turret comes close to the protection of a KV-E.
You are relying on penetrating a small spot on the turret, which can rotate, on a hull with can swivel.
That means you can only disable the tank when he is already looking at you.
What if I tell you, that the KV-1E doesn’t need to point it’s turret right at the enemy when they are ready to shoot them?
Hitting the gun mantlet below the gun is only every going to be possible at very short ranges when you are aiming at it from the front.
He can simply move back or forth 20cm and you are going to miss the shot.

There never was a dialog. You were “pro KV-1” from the start with no room for discussion.
The only “real” difference between the KV1E and the Kv-1C is the gun. The front armor of 75mm vs 105 on the German is miniscule considering how much of each tank isnt covered by gun mantel. So when I say they are the same tank, I kinda mean they are the same tank. The gun on the German is the same as on the Mk4-F-J…
If you havent seen battles where KV-1Es have just steam-rolled the whole map then you are either a liar or you dont play. If you think KV-1Es should be in the same battle as Shermans even up you are deluded. The KV-1E is a lower rating (4.0) than the German T-34 (4.3)!!!
So yeah. Please take your pro-Russian bias and go.
(love your little picture showing where to shoot if you are at 50m range and the KV-1 isnt moving BTW)
And hitting the gun doesnt disable it. Just keeps it from shooting. For a time. And again, Im NOT talking about 1v1 with a KV-1E. Im talking about a swarm of 4-5 of them. So take out a gun on 1, BFD…
And for the record, I have actually stopped a swarm of 5 KV-1Es solo ONCE. It was a city map and I took out 3 of them with an Achilles (side shots) before one of them got me, and then I came in and bombed the other 2. That was ONCE in 30+ games…

Hahaha all I hear is “Russian bias”
It’s so hard to understand that now when the KV-1E was bought by a lot of people, you don’t need to play on this BR because it’s hell, by the way, I said this in one of the first messages.
But on a normal day it is very difficult to meet such a tank and it is not impossible to kill it.
here the distance is 500 meters and after you break the breech of his weapon, he will stop for repairs and will not move, imagine
Thought you were leaving… and again a gun hit means nothing when there are 3-4 more…
And if you can hit my moving gun at 500m every time, you are a better man than me Charile Brown…
Or you are full of sh*t.
That doesn’t change the fact that the Kv-1E is a 4.3 tank at 4.0. It’s undertiered, and incredibly OP.
I’m a good player, but I’m not this good.
It’s armour increase brings it to the point where any angle prevents a US 75mm from penning it, and it makes German guns much less consistent. Out of all of my deaths in the Kv-1E, most have been from CAS or overpressure. And rarely have I been killed by a turreted tank.

Well, you continued the dialogue so I had to answer.
It seems you can’t read, once again, now you DO NOT need to play on these BRs because they are filled with KV
I’m not saying it’s bad, of course it’s a very good tank (it’s a pity I only played a little on it)
But with the right skill it is still possible to kill him and it is not that hard.
You can kill it with a US 75. Easiest way is from the side. Hit the box below the tracks. But you usually aint going to get side shots again a swarm… And according to War Thunders compare function it shows as a 4.0 in RB (I dont play arcade tanks).
Considering you have only played 184 realistic tank battles, I daresay you dont have a clue what you are talking about…
What kind of nonsense are you talking about?
Where did you get this funny number and how can you substantiate your false information?
Lol, well go to the game, player contacts, put in your name, right click on your pic and hit player profile…
Pretty easy really. 184 realistic battles favorite is the Ho-Ri… Or is War Thunder lying?
Perhaps you can attach a screenshot to confirm your words?
I think I understand what you’re talking about, 184 battles are only on Ho-Ri)
These are stats for this car only lol
Oh. Ok. Dont care enough about you to look further. My mistake.
