the biggest issue for me is actually the lack of shock or guards.

trying to make due with penal is ... not fun.

And this is what I was talking about.
It hardly hits anything.

I tried to, but the games were either too short or opponents doctrine choice nullified KV-2 before I could even pick a doc :foreveralone:

The thing is, KV-2 can either be utterly SHIT unit that can't hit anything at all, or be a potential wipe machine.

Right now you're basically buying super expensive area denial tool when in siege mode or overgrown Brummbar that have turret, but can't hit for shit in tank mode.

Luvnest has used the KV-2 in his streams at it usually kills something with each shot it fires, and it gains more range from VET 2, i personally think that the unit is fine, except the 14CP´s might need to be lowered to 13, since you can get a KT even before reaching 14CP´s and there is something wrong with that

You want it to hit and squad wipe every shot? Like the "old" ISU :foreveralone:

Thats rather a problem that some weapons have when used on uneven terrain like ISU or other ballistic weapons,as far as i know.

Yep, it looked like it could hit the other KT on the middle VP just fine, and the Panther in the middle but everytime the units got close to it, it looked like all the shots fell short, maybe there is something wrong with the way it targets units since it performs just fine on a flat surfaces and it hits distant targets with great accuracy

KV2 suffers from the "I was batshit OP and ruined the game for a few months and now I must pay for my sins for a few years" Relicitis Syndrome.

Let it run its course :snfPeter:

Otherwise, comes too late, mediocre in every way, ISU is more attractive, etc.


This is how I feel about the unit as well.

KV-2 is gonna need more buffs to be relevant to the meta. Obviously its vet 1 is gonna need to change. Also why does vet 3 vastly improve its movement, when the tank is designed to sit still? Shouldn't that be something about tear down and set up?

Agreed, the siege mode literally makes no sense with the vet bonuses, not to mention the extreme risk it is put into.

Then again, we all remember late 2013 siege mode... :romeoHype:

I put KV2 on siege mode in front of Panther. Panther won. Why?


Because you pitted a anti infantry tank against an anti armor tank who's front armor is twice the penetration value of the anti-infantry tank. Even if it always hit it still would have lost since it couldn't pen so I don't know what your point is saying that is.

You know nothing. Siege kv2 will always win vs Panther when sitting in front of each other, unless you miss like 4-5 shots.
Do some tests before saying such pudding

How would it win? Panther has like 300 armor (I can't remember the exact number) while the KV2 has like 180 pen

Launch cheatmode, put KV2 in siege, put Panther on medium/far range and watch.

Well I can't right now but between with what you found when you did cheat mode and what the stats say, it sounds like the panther would win. You said it yourself didn't you, that the panther won?
