World of Tanks - The KV-2 Show

[@petercolson2990]

It's a unique function of Soviet vehicles in WoT, that the larger the aiming reticle, the more Accuracy you can fit into it. I'm sure Circon once theorized the most efficient sniper in the Red Army was a Light Tank Commander with 50% training drafted into a KV-2 with no other crew remaining, manning a broken 152mm howitzer in a rotating turret, traveling at full speed.

[@narsakucanada154]

Awhile ago I repented to God then begged for help, "I was until then an Atheist." I then had a dream of Jesus coming before God and he spoke of the Tabernacle in perfect context, "A word I didn't know existed.", and what I felt from Jesus when I held him was unlike anything I've ever felt before - A lifetime of Love every second - It brought me to sobbing and it changed my life, forever. I've had other experiences since, "Several witnessed", one was seeing a bright orb of light pass across my face in the dark, hours before a major surgery the second I gave up in my heart. Know that God and Jesus ARE real and that they Love us deeply. Let go of your hatred and Imagine yourself holding the people who've hurt you. Tell them you Love them. Always have hope, I believe that prayer, following God's laws & Love is the answer, and through that, becoming humble, merciful, welcoming, giving, and forgiving, To All.

They discovered the 88mm's anti-tank prowess in the Spanish Civil War. They even put it on an armored halftrack in 1938. See the 8.8 cm Flak 18 (Sfl.) auf schwere Zugkraftwagen 12t (Sd.Kfz 8),

Jingles, Wehrmacht did know about the deficiencies of the tank's own guns - so they did ensure that the 88 mm kanone would have AP ammunition too ! And that was their doctrine in 1940 in France, the 88 mm was intended for all targets air or ground or sea.

Actually Jingles, one of the biggest modifications to the KV series tanks did NOT involve adding more armor. In fact, it was the opposite, the KV-1S (it's in the game) had reduced side armor to save weight.

Hey Jingles, great video as always. Re: the famous 88. It was actually their experience in the Spanish Civil War that convinced the Germans it would be an effective anti-tank weapon.

I had a hilarious moment on Redshire in the KV-2 a couple of weeks ago. We had just won the airship and was pushing through and a tank in the middle was spotted, I fired on the move at full speed while also turning the turred from D0 to D3/D4 at well over 400 meters while that tank was pulling back behind the hill, hit and one shotted him. I took a few more shots at range but without moving and hit every single in the battle and ended up with a tank sniper medal and a high caliber.

3:34 The germans learned about the Flak 88 being good against tanks quite some time before Barbarossa. It was against _french_ tanks during the Bltzkrieg phase of the war that they tested it out in earnest, but they'd been planning for it since the start of the weapon's development, just after WW1. It was always intended to be a dual-purpose gun, evidenced by the fact that AP rounds for it were available and issued to units (you don't fire AP at aircraft...well, unless you're playing War Thunder but even there it's a bad idea :P). In the spanish civil war the 88 got a lot of use against ground targets, but since the republican forces didn't have much in the way of tanks it was mostly against infantry (with HE rounds) or bunkers (where the AP round turned out to be highly effective). They just didn't have enough of them to mass deploy them in the AT role and still keep up AA cover during Barbarossa, which led to situations like the unkillable KV-2.
