SO MUCH ARMOR IT DEFLECTS BR CHANGES - KV-1B in War Thunder

The KV-1B in War Thunder is a Finish Heavy Tank for the German Tech Tree. This absolute monster has been in the game for over 5 years and continues to plague low tiers.
With a combined armor value of 105mm it actually has thicker armour than a Tiger 1 on all sides and much less weakspots that can be exploited. All this at only battle rating 4.0!
The KV-1B is one of the most controversial vehicles in the game. With the gun only having 88mm of penetration, it does seem pretty weak. However, due to magic shells from the Nation we shall not mention... it can go through even the most angled of armor making for easy frags.
It is fun for some casual gameplay, though! :) So long as you're not on the receiving end!

[@spie6076]

I can tell you there's no bias because Gaijin has a reputation of hating Germany also fuck the Jumbo I hate seeing it

[@RicardoSanchez-es5wl]

The reason this tank is so OP is that only 1 faction has multiple tanks that can reliably penetrate it at its tier- Germany. And this tank is ON Germany so only a tiny number of tanks really stand a chance. Note: I said Germany is the only lineup with MULTIPLE tanks that can penetrate KV-1B levels of armor at its tier. Obviously other factions have 1 or 2 but that’s not multiple and it’s not enough to negate how strong this tank is.

[@Gracefulwarrior2124]

1:09 I love how Gaijin argues that the gun on this isn't good enough to go higher, yet the jumbo, (a tank which has to shoot at the cupola of 80% of tanks it fights because it can't otherwise hurt them) gets up BR'd. 5.3 to me was the maximum, if we were gonna compare guns to their effectiveness. Now it has to fight a Tiger 2H, which it can barely do anything straight on to the side more or less. Ofc its for the money, same with the vidar, same with uncountable other premiums.

[@sharkk127]

I sure do love gaijins logic with balancing, move up the tech tree kv1 and leave these 2 cause reasons

[@julianturberfield7101]

The reason is that Gaijin balance based solely on win rate, and Germany being the overwhelming majority of people's first nation loses an overwhelming amount of the time. Same reason France, Italy and Japan get shafted by BR changes. Extremely few new players are going to pick Japan or France for their first ground nation, so experienced players playing them more drag their winrate up.

[@gavinjenkins899]

The zis-5 one is pretty much strictly better than this one, my dude. This is only infamous because it's lower BR than it, it's just this including almost all the same extra armor, but with a better normal t34 gun instead of the weaker gun and a higher BR

I mean... the Zis-5 does have a slightly better gun. I'm annoyed that they moved it to 4.7 the the 85 to 5.0. Ruined my 4.7 lineup. The zis-5 is going to struggle to kill a lot of things it faces and it's armor isn't going to help in the near constant uptiers at that BR. The kv-85 definitely has no armor in comparison but the gun is much better and actually useable in uptiers.

[@oh4fsake]

Thing's ridiculous. The fact that it doesn't fight Germany is the biggest thing about it though. If this fought Germany the Pz4s would eat it alive. Not a lot of good guns on allies though. Sweden can blow it up pretty easy.

if i recall correctly, soviet shells were a pseudo-tandem shaped. what do i mean? the penetrator was indeed a single-piece, but it's shape had an hourglass-like aspect to it which made the front of the penetrator break off after making impact. this had the effect of digging into the sloped armor, thus providing the back of the penetrator with a vertical/flat armor to hit. all the while the back piece got to keep all of it's momentum and penetrating power.

[@LostSoul6364]

If you wondered how to penetrate this thing and all the other KV-1's, look at its turret. See those tiny sharp corners of the turret? Shoot it here. You're not penetrating it anywhere else unless you're in something like a 76 Sherman or a Firefly. Shoot the low right corner of the turret that'll be inevitably facing your way to take out its gunner and loader so it cant shoot back. If you keep smacking that corner it'll eventually take out its entire crew, even works for French and British tanks! If you cant pen that corner which some tanks cant, shoot its barrel or the area right above the gun mantlet, to take out the cannon breech. You dont want to shoot thick spaced turret cheeks, trust me If you came on it from the side and you know that ready ammo racks are in the back of its turret, dont shoot it, theres an additional plate there. Shoot its normal turret side, not the sticking - out one And dont shoot into its frontal sides, its a death sentence. Fuel tanks on KV-1's refuse to explode even when slapped by like 2 kilos of HE, it will just turn and vaporize you while you reload. The KV-1's are a blatant example of Russian bias, you can kill them, but it takes way too much time and they're just weirdly survivable. Fuel tanks eat APHE shells, ammo racks refuse to explode, turret cheeks shatter rounds of any type, even if they pen. Gaijin really should fix those tanks, and not just the damn ZiS - 5.

The thing is with this tank, you need a bit of knowledge about weak spots and have to retrain yourself to aim for angled parts that a lot of shells will usually bounce off in order to make the gun work, and rely on a lack of knowledge on the part of the enemy to make the armour work. It's a bit harder with the KV-1E though because so many Panzer IV 75mm variants have been dropped in BR and they don't have so many issues getting through your armour.

The churchil VII was a poor choice oz. Any 55mm APHE can overmatch the turret outside of auto bounce angles. It is the biggest weakpoint of the tank. But the Church VII is also a great tank to compare. It is slower, less well armoured (far more weakpoints even without the roof), the gun uses a solid AP slug with 0 angle pen (meaning the KV 1B gun is actually better in every case except for hits between 0 and 3° angles.) The KV 1B and Churchil VII should switch BRs

Itd be pretyy funny if they put te kv1e in the finnish tec tree as a normal tank while moving te brs up a bit.

Gaijin is giving it to you straight when they say not enough ppl have bought it. They got to sell the OP vehicles before they nerf them and push you to the next one oc.

i think gaijin's logic on the Kv-1b avoiding br changes boils down to two things. 1) it doesnt get APCR because its a Kv-1 L-11 under the applique, so it physically cannot hurt a tiger, and severely struggles against Panther Ds, and an Is-1 would be literally invulnerable. The gun statement was from when these were all at 5.3. 2) The Kv-1B is a Kv-1. If it faced Panzer IVs and Vk 30s, it would be MUCH more balanced. But gaijin doesnt seem to realize this Kv-1 doesnt face german 75s, it faces russian 76.2s and american 75s. (BTW T45 is OP for APCR. that thing made the jumbo unstoppable before CR and DS nerfs. Use it against KV-1 cheeks)
