Sorry for the delay. Personal errands.
Today’s advent offer for EU server includes:
- KV-5 + slot
- 3000 gold
Price: 47,99 USD (38,45 EUR)
Meanwhile in Russia, the current offer is 50 percent off on all gold and premium days (only in the store though). Still, the EU offer today seems actually solid.
Yes, gold is better than useless equipment
Bought it way back for same price – didnt gave gold :D
I was wondering what took you so long ! i even had to go check it manually xD
Ahaha, laziness will kill us :)))
I honestly consider SS to be the real WGEU.
Thats a nice sentiment. His news are definitly more helpful and clear, especially with the translated Q&A and all.
Meanwhile RU got 50% discount for all gold and prem time packages GG WG
The should get 75% discount as the ruble is going down to the sink. It is not good for anyone that currency is struggling so much … we dont need, nor we want, the Russians to be mad. See what happened in 1917, almost 100 years ago.
Once again Poland will help you, western capitalists :)
Is KV-5 actually worth it? What is the average income for a battle compared let’s say to Lowe or Jt88?
KV-5 have good damage compared to the price of single shell. It has also great rof. Rest depends on the skill/preference.
JT is far better as a credit maker, I have them both
I have them both too. KV-5 isn’t making far less credits. BUT KV-5 is much more fun to play.
what is so “FUN to play” about it?
What’s so special about it ? To me, it looks like regular heavy tank… what makes it different than any other soviet heavy ?
The gun seems pretty terrible to me… penetration is fine, its the accuracy and aimtime I just hate about soviet tanks….
look at it:
http://www.vbaddict.net/statistics.php?fieldname=credits_per_minuten
statistic from 30million battles, is netto, so credit for repair, shell etc is count. and it for minute, battle time is in it too.
Month ago Jt8.8 be on first position.
It does worth it in my opinion, but not as a credit farmer tank. It has a decent income of course, but to me, mine is more like a “let’s just play something different for fun” kind of tank. For credit farming, i prefer my JT88 or IS6. The difference betwenn the income of a KV5 and a JT88 is hard to say, it really depends on your playstyle, and how familiar with each of these, but for me, there is at least a good 15% income difference between them. Or more.

Wrote a guide on it
Oh and SS, feel free to make it into an article if you want to ;).
One point on your guide:
The “weak spot” next to R2D2 is actually the best armored part of the armor ^^
So it’s not a weak spot at all!
Hit it straight on and most t8+Guns will pen and kill the driver.
That is why it is in inverted commas bro. One use of such is “to draw attention to an unusual, ironic, or arguably inaccurate use”.
Come on SS its the 18th today!
SS the troll….. :)
SS is day behind for three days in a row already.
Le gentle giant.
Dont buy it tomatos because without weakspot knowledge you are not going to penetrate anything but the Baguettetanks.
+1
pls buy it tomatoes :)
I did, thanks.
u like free dmg :)
40€ for a KV-5 + 3k gold? That seems like a great deal imo
It is!
I bought KV-5 + slot a year and a half ago and I paid 37 euros
, so it’s definately a good deal ^^
Is it worth it? I’m kinda interested in getting one..
It’s situational imo.
On the top of the team it’s really good, T6-7s get wrecked by this tank (except maybe Tiger H who can destroy you fast if you don’t pay attention.
T9′s are harder to deal with, the lowish pen makes it hard to reliably damage them.
It does make good credits, 270 per shot at 300 alpha is great! Also a good crew trainer your heavy crews.
I would say it’s worth it, it’s also cheaper then the other T8 heavy premiums
Didn’t they sell the KV-5 for +/- 7500 gold in the past?
So if they sold it for 7500 gold in the past, this advent calender offer is not that great.
1. Todays advent offer = 1x KV-5 + 3000 gold = €38.45
2. Buy the same worth/amount in gold = 7500 + 3000 = 10500 gold
- 1x 10000 gold pack = €35.79
- 1x 500 gold pack = €2.25
total: €38.04
So this KV-5 advent offer is not that great….. (correct me if i am wrong)
How much will you be able to buy the KV-5 for tomorrow?
Now do you understand what is special about the offer?

Considoring you can’t buy KV-5 for 7k Gold anymore, it’s better to compare the price to 12k Gold T8 Premium tanks. So 15k Gold is close to 55€ (2×7500 Gold), which makes this pretty deal. On the other hand 38€ for pixel tanks,
This is actually a good deal for once! But they should add an e-learning crash course in reverse sidescraping as well :-)
Id recommend people buy this one, I got the KV-5 in summer 2013 and it’s an absolutely amazing tank!
with the failing currency on RU server i wouldn’t be surprised if they see a type sale
Currency? Ah, you mean the rubble? Har har…
Spreads cheeks.
