Maybe you don’t remember times when there was no KV-1, only a KV. And it was fkin OP because it has 107 ZiS gun, kinda the same as in T-150. One was able to knock out a third part of the enemy team, platooned were unstoppable.
But anyway, I’ll agree with you, the KV-1 needs a nerf. It is OP, when compared with other tier V heavies, but only with reload. Combined alpha with such high reload is making a bit too stronk tenk.

D-2-5T isnt a real gun

Mobility, gun depression, troll armor. Stop defending it, try some tanks that require skill.

Sure, just remember what WG have done to VK3601H!

From medium to heavy and because “puny 160 damage gun” is too much (with that kind of pen – 157) for a German Heavy its damage got nerfed into “copy > paste L70 range of 135 damage!!!

Not to mention that at Tier 6 there are 4 other tanks with 160+ pen and 240 damage guns as top gun, while German at that tier only have “wanabe Tank Destroyers lines and SPG vehicles no matter if they are mediums or heavies!

“The force is stronk with this one” – the amount of cry from 1S lovers is silly. Almost as much as on offcial forums.

I’m still amazed how much whining this gets. Especially, when WG (as always) will do the rebalance they way THEY SEE IT. Regardless what players think is the best way. Seems ppl will never learn.

Just to clarify, what was the plan:
KV-1S as tier 5; an alternative tank to KV1 with better mobility (similiar to current T6 KV-1S) but less armour. Firepower afaik wasn’t disclosed, apart from loosing the D-25T. The tank keeps it’s name.

KV-85 as tier 6; replacement for T6 KV-1S. Gets worse mobility, keeps the D-25T gun as an upgrade.
There was no info if the gun gets any additionall nerfs (less depression, lower soft stats aka). Personally, less gun depression seems possible (as it’s hugely overbuffed currently in this regard).

Funny how most of community believed that KVas would be split into tier6 and tier7 tanks or even 3 different vehicels including a tier5 ^_^

A single wiki trip is enough to understand that it’s tier5 and tier6 both by technology and powerlevel. Besides “the fast” and “the armored” categories are already present on tier7 with JS and KV-3.

I blame stupid “yellow press” VOD-makers.

Besides the KV-122 version is going to have something like a -3 depression which is historical or -5 which is plausible since all soviet guns in the game have better depression angles. This will automatically downgrade the tank from imba-tier to strong-tier. People underestimate the value of depresseion too much.

I also expect a 100mm D-10T gun since there was a prototype of that too and the gun sits perfectly at this tier right next to 90mm M3 and 8.8cm KwK36.

Honestly, actually KV-1 is OP. The 85mm allows it to own literally all tier 3-4 tanks alone, most tier 5 and on sidescrape position, even some tier 6s that has low pen

This thing had better get that gun nerfed into the ground if it’s going to keep the D-2-5T…
