YOU FELL FOR MY MOST DEVIOUS PLAN EVER - KV-1E in War Thunder

If you're looking to get some GE or a Premium, please use a creators link to support then and get a free decal. Here's mine: store.gaijin.net/catalog.php?...
The KV-1E is one of the most powerful tanks in War Thunder. That's why I decided to play it after releasing a tide of SAV 20.12.48 with my previous video.
The SAV 20.12.48 has been running riot in droves and has pretty much made the 2.7-4.7 bracket unplayable. So, I decided to put them back in their place with one of the OG Premium Thumpers the KV-1E.
The KV-1E has just enough armour to stop the 120mm taking it out. That doesn't make us immune so we're going to have to play it 'just' right to get some revenge.
This is probably the most frags per minute I've ever uploaded so I hope you enjoy watching the SAV Suffer!

Day 8 of asking to play a Tiger 1 in top tier till 5 kills

[@KarKenon]

Having bought the SAV at your recommendation and used it for some truly vile evils? Yeah we all deserve it lol, SAV is such a disgustingly busted vehicle its way too powerful if it can get me 6 kills in 7 seconds while I’m half asleep and barely trying

[@Iron_Blood_Enjoyer1933]

Could we get a video on the Chi-Nu II? It's been a few years & it's gotten way more fun, IMO.

[@KarKenon]

Also! Day 1 of Asking for T-34-57/ IL-2 combo please!

[@RLL_18]

ah you sneaky bastard odd i saw your video and i thought what have you done!!! then i proceeded to get absolutely destroyed by 4 sav's in the same game and i thought, russian heavies exist then i proceeded to destroy 5 sav's in another game

[@bessnummy]

How could you????? Gaijin's now gonna think that the SAV suffers and move it down to 3.3!

[@mikewazowski9941]

Or maybe they gonna make sure sweden and russia are always on the same team

[@danielross7983]

It's not from the video. SAV is amazing and it was fairly cheap. People would buy it regardless of OddBawZ's video.

[@TNTNT20]

@@prussianeagle5837 just one would be nice....

[@XSpamDragonX]

Remember, there are always more people uptiered than downtiered, so the matchmaker prefers to downtier whichever BRs are being played less and uptier the BRs with dozens of people queueing for them. This is why the most popular/common BRs get more uptiers than you might expect from the raw probability.

KV-1E vs KV-1B What a fight.

[@Smokey348]

you can penetrate the driver hatch with the SAV. Ofcourse you need to be at a close distance (atleast 100m ) where the thickness of the KV1 UFP doesn't go over the 100 mm distance

[@Iron_Blood_Enjoyer1933]

If these's one vehicle that I really want in the Swedish tech tree is the Landsverk L-180. Because most people didn't do the crafting event that would give you the Pansarbil m/40, so here's a perfect way to put a low-tier armored car into the tree. Plus, Britain could get one too, as Ireland used 8 of them from 1939 all the way to the 1980s.

yeah this sort of thing that's only out for a few days, you have to pay attention or you'll miss it. But maybe that's the point, I doubt Gaijin expected this to happen with the SAV lol

[@caralho5237]

kv1e = 4.0 Jumbo = 5.7 Makes complete sense

KV1E came in production, one year after the KV1 L11, and this thing served 1940-41 possibly 1942, and the Sherman jumbo, man come on, came out in 1943, and was only used much in 1944-45, time issues, is what doesn't make sense, little time issue...

Thanks man. I've been using this opportunity to spade some of the tanks I despise playing in normal conditions. The Churchills. They've gone from the tanks I hate the most at their BRs to my favorites at the moment because of SAVs lol. I've been getting like 12 kills each time I spawn with Churchills, Ystervark, Crusader AAs and Concept 3s. I'll probably have PTSD from the things I'm forced to do in the Winter 2024 SAV Genocide of the SAVpocalypse.
