KV-152 was a modified KV-1s tank able to fit the 152mm S-41 short-cannon

So in WoT terms, this is basically a light tank equivalent of a KV-2?

I can see WG adding the BT-42 as a premium SPG. They have to find something to sell in order to off set the loss of income with the forthcoming nerf to the FV304. As a premium, WG would not have to worry about whether or not a player would grind the line rather than buy gold for free experience. Forcing players to purchase the arty as a premium would be a winning scenario for WG. After all, it’s all about the money.

This little bastard will probably be the death of me, i own an FV304, and putting the BT-42 in the game would be an insult, especially at tier 5. Even with a slow ass turret, and a huge silhouette, that thing would just be OP, Bert, which lacks a turret, is crazy enough, unless real serious nerfs are put into this thing, like god awful manoeuvrability or horrid range (400m or something like that). Even then- no i do not want this thing, this bastard, roaming around my battlefield, regardless how nerfed it is >:(. That is if it would be an SPG.

theres too many tds you mean. Artys one branch. and they cant aim for nothing i perfer dealing with artillerly over the tds. as tds have the aiming speed to kill you while an arty cant.

PopSci article about a BT going 104 MPH, which is approx. 167.372 Km/H. That’s faster than a Hellcat O_o

how overgrown can a tank with Christie suspension be? if you count BT, a T-34-85. if you count the suspension, maybe a friggin Merkava?
