I had intended on putting this in the video but I ran out of time (5:00AM Currently). The KV-2 ZiS-6 is available currently in game for 3,850 Golden Eagles until Sept 12th for those who are interested. Shameless plug of our discount code here -> goo.gl/mqVkc6 The story of the KV-2 ZiS-6 was in 1941 the Soviets were testing the new 107mm ZiS-6 Cannon that was to be fitted on the new KV-3/4/5. The ZiS-6 was fitted to a KV-2 chassis for testing in Leningrad in 1941. Reports said that testing went well but when the Germans invaded and assaulted Leningrad the KV-2 ZiS-6 was lost. In game this vehicle is good and bad. The cannon has its moments where it shines and is the destroyer of worlds but the KV-2 chassis is a bit limited at a battle rating of 5.0 in my opinion. Overall I found it to be a fun vehicle while revisiting it and honestly enjoyed it.

Hi BO❤

[@I_Rllydontcare]

Kv2 goes brrrr

[@asillylildude]

will you still be able to purchase it on the gaijin market after sep 12th? because i don’t know if you can see it on the premium list on the tech tree on consle

[@trenttiedeman2630]

After the Germans assaulted and subsequently captured said tank, where’d it go? I would assume straight to scrap but I want to hope/ believe that it got at least got studied by the Germans first

[@VicariousReality7]

Its not available on sep 10 in EU

[@MunicipalityCity]

That m4a1 detonated 13 of your rounds, yet you survived in a really sick nasty style

[@Simon-tr9hv]

imagine an ammo detonation that's so large that it sling a 40 tons tank 180 degrees yet all your crew survived that explosion inside small confined space, that's Russian bias at its finest

[@MunicipalityCity]

@@Simon-tr9hv Maybe a bit of premium bias as well?

[@derpking3970]

@@Simon-tr9hvIt’s a bug that I believe has been affecting several vehicles. I can’t remember them off the top of my head but I know a couple light tanks have the same issue. So no, not just Russian nias

[@Simon-tr9hv]

@derpking3970 funny how every change, every nerf or even bugs tend to benefit Russian vehicles?

[@Simon-tr9hv]

@derpking3970 so how long is this ""BUG"" gonna last before it get patched? in few month?

[@andrewdarragh1554]

There's Russian bias, and then there's surviving 13 rounds exploding inside the tank. Holy cow.

[@therelatablegamer7012]

thats crazy

[@Skylikesavation]

I was more so thinking the game fired multi rounds at the same time given that recoil. Plus the turret got shot so I assume that’s where the damage came from

[@dakotapery7924]

I think ammo got detonated

[@Shiny-4ddr]

I hit "ammo" and did nothing more like 100 times already so nothing new XD

I can absolutely believe Sturmling being that kind of ghost. Hide your tools, move the toilet roll, jingle locked doors.

At one point, not sure if still true, they nerfed bombs so that they weren't as deadly as they once were

Ive been direct hit by large bombs before and they did very little damage. If it should have killed me I just J out. They deserved the kill even though the game didn’t give it to em.

[@jakegross9428]

8:57 I think American Desert is slightly bugged when it comes to ammo racks. I was playing with friends on Thursday at 6.3, one of them shot the new German recoiless rifle funny and it did that kind of back flip out into the road in front of me

[@RyRy_941]

That's so weird. Now next time I get American Desert I am going to make sure I bring full ammo so I can do a flip and survive an ammo rack lol

[@iflytb20]

My BTR-ZD is bugged. One hit on it, it does a flipitty flip and looses all the ammo 😢

[@RyRy_941]

Great video! I have had mixed feelings about getting this tank, but after seeing you survive when nearly all of your ammo is destroyed now I know I have to get it!

[@elijahsellers3727]

Magic away the toilet paper after you sit is one of the worst hauntings Ive heard in a while

[@discordmoderator313]

Kinda disagree, the KV chasse is really good for sidescraping and 75mm all around means you're immune from all autocannon fire at that BR. Even the turret has its moments when you angle because of all the wonky corners. Gun is absolutely delightful, 440g of TNT and insane angled pen means one-shotting Panthers and Jumbos clean through the UFP

[@biomike01]

Almost all auto cannon fire, the french have an AA with 90mm of pen at that BR

[@DarthPraennox]

*chassis

[@botimegaming]

At the start of the video for sure the angling and armor did eat a lot. The fact though is the tank has some giant flat sides on its turret and you cant always be angled to every opponent unless you dig yourself in like a tick.

[@MrMagnat007]

Bo Needs a copy of the Stickboy and Sturmling Panic talk dictionary.. Zippitybbababababtatato means " Something is shooting me to the left" apparently and "Kahplease" is a new word stick invented to mean something like "B^tch please" 9:47
