Not only was only 1 constructed, they never got it to work. It had too many problems with weight distribution. It was a theory tank that didn’t work, thus leading to the KV-13 and IS-122. The IS was the first hull to successfully mount the 122.

[...] However, since the whole point of the KV-85 was to serve as a buffer while IS-85 production got off the ground, there was not much of a point in the KV-122. Only one was ever built. By the way, note the muzzle brake is the late “domestic” version, not the early “German” version like in the game. This is a bona fide D-25T, not the nerfed D-2-5T. I will not discuss the KV-122 in great detail, since I already did so in this article. [...]

Then, you will cry about M6 with the 90 mm to be nerfed, then SU-100Y, then SU-100 with the 122, then Hellcat and Jackson’s 90 mm, the T-150 and KV-2′s 107.

Hell, leave all tanks with 20 mm peashooters so you don’t feel they are “insanely op” anymore. Then uninstall and play a game which you can handle., you publord.

The KV-85 was a slightly modified KV-1S hull. The “extensive” modifications required welding two armoured boxes to the side of the turret platform.

The KV-122 was the name the IS-2 was sometimes called. In official trials, it would probably be referred to with its “object’ designation.

Interesting, interesting. One of the IS-100 prototypes did have an inverted turret. I guess they did put one of those on a KV-1S.

Then, pray tell, what other 122 mm gun did factory #9 make that would be suitable for such a conversion?

There is a vague mention of “necessary adaptations” and nothing at all of a lighter version called “D-2″, but true. Doesn’t change the fact that the article would do a lot better job clearing up the confusion if it was clearer on what kind of 122mm weapon exactly is discussed where.

It is mentioned in both the English and Russian wiki article of the A19 field gun, read it.

…and the Chinese and Japanese remain fixated on the “Type XYZ” pattern, but all append the basic index with varyingly verbose and tortuous definitions of what’s being talked about (eg. “United States Rifle, Caliber .30, M1″ – better known as M1 Garand).
