Didn’t they promise that it will come to the soviet tech tree
Relax, you have a bunch of kv-1 variants to play with, it will come eventually. The 1942 variant is not the best variant you could have at the moment anyway, So to be frank, just wait. and it will come eventually
Did they? I recall it being leaked but not any sort of official promise.
Yeah but the finnish have a direct upgrade to the soviet standar at the same br
Do you mean germany TT or sweden TT? The Kv-1 1942 is far from what the Kv-1E is,
Swedish(The soviet example is the KV-1 ZIS-5) it has 5 less upper plate armor a extra MG and a Turret withouth a corner weakspot same br btw
Although the turret cant be angled like the Kv-1E or anything like that, the extra mg is nice yes
thats just gaijin those mfs promise things and never even think abt it ever again
Technically the KV-1 (1942) should be better than the KV-1E using the box turret. But since War Thunder never consider real combat situations where a Tiger would be most of the time a stationary bunker, the KV-1E is indeed better.
The most they’ve said were the throwaway PR lines of:
etc.
I figured its similar to the Tor where gaijin figured it could eventually be added when they actually need the vehicle. Not really the best way to do it but i kinda get it if thats how they are going about it, additionally if it goes to Russia then nobody wastes money buying the KV-1A. Its already a hard sell given its nonexistent lineup which also lacks effective CAS
Still waiting after almost a entire year
Still waiting
The funny thing with the KV1 Mod 42 … they have almost no work to do to put it into the game.
Cause this tank is the basis of the Beutepanzer KV1 with the Kwk40 gun (don’t remember its name). All they have to do is put the F34 mantlet, paint it green and call it a day.
The turret armor is flipped on the KV-1C and the m1942, the m1942 is an early model with 105mm turret armor versus the KV-1C which was a lighter turret with only 90mm armor. For balance with the BR’s gaijin swapped the armor values. The bug report for the m1942 to have its 105mm armor has been accepted since it was added along with its other bugs…
