In 1938 Soviet tank designers came up with the best heavy tank design in the world - the KV-1. Far from perfect, this 45 ton rolling behemoth would kick start a series of hugely impressive and incredibly influential vehicles, going from the KV-1 all the way up to the KV-14 and beyond. Seeing extensive combat in the Second World War against the invading German army, the KVs would join the T-34 in forming the core of the Red Army's modern armoured spearhead, and would be developed further into the iconic IS series.

"...The KV seemed to have no situational awareness, with no idea where the enemy was, what their friendly tanks were doing, or where fire was coming from..." As a former wot player, I can confirm that this is what KV's are like.

This tank is what won the war in Finland in 1940. The soviets were unable to breach the mannerhiem line, until they brought these in the very end. The kv1 broke the line and captured viipuri or now viborg, that’s when the Finn’s decided to sign Stalins treaty.

To understand what a gamechanger the KV1 tank was, you must go to Parola armour museum where you can see an early KV1 model lined up with the ubiquitous T-26 tanks the Red Army fielded in 1940. The KV dwarfs the earlier models and its armour plating is nothing short of intimidating in comparison.

KV3 program actually contributed to the IS development in an indirect way. Most of KV3's drivetrain(primarily gearbox and steering mechanism, but some other minor stuff as well) was installed on KV-1S, and later used for the IS series. One of the main issues with KV series was the fact that casting quality was nonexistent, and in practice individual tanks ended up with a mass of 46-50 tons. Original gearbox was derived from the one on the much smaller t28 and was rushed in development, which led to it having barely any potential for upgrades. One of the main points of the KV13 development was to sort out the issue with casting quality, and they did it in some very interesting ways. Shashmurin and his team re-engineered KV13 into lots of smaller and simpler castings which were assembled together with welding, and beefed up some of the weaker components by simply making them bigger(roadwheels, shock absorbers, etc).

What a fascinating series of tanks. It's odd, because I really loved WWII history for so many years, especially tanks and planes, but I had never heard of this thing until I played War Thunder five years ago. For Russia, it was always T-34-76 this, or T-34-85 that. I never even knew they had heavy tanks during the war. Since then, I've obviously dedicated a lot more study to it, and I've come to love the KV so much. Now I know even more, about all the in-between variants I had never been able to find much information about. A KV-1 Katyusha... who would've though...

13:35 They must've hit one of the worst possible sections of the KV-1 to have this effect with a 150mm artillery shell. Even if it didn't directly damage the KV-1's armor, one of these rounds hitting the front hull or non-mantlet part of the turret should've given the occupants injuries from the pressure wave. I wish we could know what happened to the occupants of that tank, they either got really lucky or fought in spite of their concussions and other potential injuries. That cannon likely fired a 43.52 kg (95.9 lb) HE round. The ISU-152, world-famous for being THE definitive WWII derp gun that killed tanks on the regular, fired a 40kg-43.5kg HE round for reference (edit: SU-152 used very, very similar HE ammo and as Red Wrench outlined, performed a similar role for longer). It turned the occupants to jelly or blew the tank open through "overmatch", being such a large round that it cracked German armor plates open or rattled the chassis to pieces at times. I wanted to throw that out there for some perspective to folks. First-hand accounts always need to be used in conjunction with other sources, or a multitude of different accounts need to be used in conjunction to get a realistic picture of what REALLY happened.

I think the howitzer may have actually missed the vehicle and perhaps hit the ground beside it. Would've produced a huge plume of debris either way so may have been difficult to verify if it was a hit or a near-miss.

Right, but the problem with that is that the turret MG gunner("assistant driver") position has no vision devices that point forward, so it doesn't work as a TC position unless you keep the top hatch open and observe that way.

Many interesting things to take away here: The KV-6, although being indexed as basically a KV-1 with 90mm of armor, was nothing more than a mention. All tanks with hull flamethrowers were known as "KV-1 with Flamethrower", similar to the "Shielded KV-1" name. The KV-85 prototype became the testbed for the KV-122, which still survives to this day in the 85 configuration. The KV-100 was a separate prototype from this. There is also the KV-85G, which was a KV-1S fitted with an 85mm gun (S-31). The mysterious third man in the turret was nothing more than a confusion created by British trials of the KV tank. They combined the Commander and Loader into a single crew member and turned the 3rd man into a Mechanic/Assistant Driver. Although I absolutely loved researching the entire KV series, the one that I still love reading about is the KV-3, the tank that had all the puzzle pieces, just not put together. Amazing video!

Yeah, the names are the most confusing part. One document even calls the T-220 the KV-4, which I didn't know until a couple days ago. Good luck with your IS video, since name recycling is present with those tanks as well. As far as the KV-3 goes, a selection of sources state that not only the hull and ZiS-6, but even the turret were all built, just ended up at different locations. If you ever need help with any topic, I'll try to give you any primary/secondary sources I have access to.

That KV-1 that held off advancing German forces for days was being withdrawn to the rear when it broke down. It was towed to that location where the crew was given orders to hold off the advancing armor as long as possible. They managed to accomplish that by being resupplied at night with ammunition, rations and fresh crews. I think the crew took off / escaped once the tank started being hit by 88's or heavy artillery rounds.

Thank you for mentioning that the ability of the crew to be able to see what is happening outside is very important in tank design. Great stuff.

The BT-7A had a 76.2mm regimental howitzer for use as a close-support HE tank - pretty much the same idea as the Panzer IV with its short 75mm. They did test a longer 76mm in a BT but by then the T-34 was in the works.

Nice video, very in-depth! I do wonder between the KV-85 and IS-85 what the differences were other than the hull. Specificlly, with the drivetrain. DId one have more engine, transmission, etc. issues than the other? Thanks

If the KV-3 was really ready for production in late 1941 or '42 or '43, the Wehrmacht is going to have a rude awakening when their Tiger I's and II's encounter that tank in the battlefield. In the post-war years, T-54/55 series would have being fitted with 107mm gun and stay in service into 1990s😊
