Art of Winning: KV Tanks

Рет қаралды 269,478

In the late 1930s the Soviet tank industry was in a very interesting place as there were numerous tank designs competing for the spot of the perfect heavy tank. In the end, though, after thorough testing, countless land battleships were swept aside to give way to the one and only Kliment Voroshilov tank, or simply KV. This vehicle was a progenitor of the whole series of tanks that played a major part in WW2... and this video is all about those armor-clad monsters!

It really should not have been added at all. As a KV-220 owner I haven't used it in battles after being on the receiving end of that tank. It's just that broken op compared to most vehicles at that br range. Some more experienced players can play against that thing on equal footing but against most players it's just non-stop seal clubbing

I only have three KVs, the KV1s with the l-11 cannon and the "S" variant. i also have the KV2. these are all monsters to play on the battlefield, though the best Ive ever had was with the KV2 just stranded in the middle of nowhere on the mozdok map and the enemy team tried getting their shells at me but i survived almost all shots and destroyed like 3 - 4 enemy before i died. But the flaws of the KV (not of the kv2) was that their armor isnt always going to protect you. and their guns sometimes fail to pen other tanks due to less than 100mm pen (I alr have that much pen in japan with the chi nu, chi ha lg, and the m24). but overall the KV is one of the best tank series ive ever played.

I think the description "unplayable" is the best. After a few meters or seconds on land, on the water or in the air, the final destination is reached. You are shot out of the game by enemy programs as if there were no missed shots, rebounds or an element of surprise - and then immediately switch off again. Я думаю, что описание «неиграбельный» является лучшим. Через несколько метров или секунд на суше, на воде или в воздухе достигается конечный пункт назначения. Вы вылетаете из игры вражескими программами так, как будто не было ни промахов, ни рикошетов, ни элемента неожиданности - и тут же снова отключаетесь.
