It sure is just not worth bothering-to-get about.
Basically, IMO, it just sucks, respectively of all the expenses to spend on.

Lol, it was meant as a joke, I personally like the KV-2, my only problems with it are its cost and its speed.

A joke, or not, but I find it hardly of any use, when there are so many other goodies all around, to spend my CP and resources on.

Maybe its the Ostwind that needs a nerf. ;D

Allmost all tanks do 15% dmg when they dont penetrate armor.
Also some 37mm and 40mm (like Bofors) cannons have crazy rear shot multiplayer. Look at the video again. Only ass shots really hurt KV-2.
The same thing would happen to a Pershing.

Does enyone know is KV-2 has Pershing or Churchill armor?
According to this page Churchills is the best armor vs Ostwinds. Did KV-2 get an armor buff (to Pershing) or is this page outdated?

I just looked in the files of the game, if I'm not messing it up (I'm not really all that good with corsix), the armour type is "Churchill"

KV-2s are fine. As to the video, I found it quite interesting.
If you get into an argument with me, you're wrong.
