Now, if you've seen my reaction on another thread here, you could've clearly guessed on what my reactions are on that post. Unless if you're living under a rock or deep in the regions of the Swiss alps, you should've at least heard the buff on calibrated shells, right? Now, the buff only affected HE, HESH and HEAT shells from having a 5% increase of shell penetration to 10% increase. It's not even out yet but I know that's exactly what it's going to be: Caliber second only to Yamato, terrible accuracy, insane power, long reload, armor that's good enough to face anything you see if you know EXACTLY how to angle it, handles like a brick on a skating rink.Recently, on patch 4.4, there have been some equipment changes. If I were to pick a ship with KV-2's characteristics in WoWs: Slow reload, INSANE shells, dispersion that alternates between missing your target at 100 meters and Stalin himself reaching out of hell to guide your shells on target at max range (Why yes I DID once one-shot an M5 Stuart at over 550 meters, thank you for asking! All luck, no skill.). Back when Panzer IV with the Schmalturm and 7.5cm L/70 was the de facto tier 5 "heavy tank" of Germany and the US didn't have TDs. Remember, that's when the "KV-2" was just the "KV"s top turret and gun. It used to face T10, it's a sixĪctually it was a tier 5 back then and there was NO MM limit. The KV2 made it's mark when tanks had a 4 tier spread in MM. Ridiculous amount of guns, ridiculous amount of very short range torps, decent detection range but looks to be about as mobile as a brick on a string for a DD and also, naturally, has very little armor thanks to its DD status. Looking through the various ships, I'd say that the russian ohotnik looks to be close one. I know tiering isn't as big a deal in WoWs as it is in WoT (I mean I can still set ships on fire and torps are a good equalizer, plus a tier 6 BB can still citadel a tier 8 if they're giving broadside, unlike in WoT where you can't even pen someone 2 tiers higher but they can easily pen you) but its a low-mid tier ship that is as derpy as heck but still functions well in higher tiers. Doesn't matter what your facing, every 30 seconds, someone is getting slapped in the face for 300 damage+ which is why she is often peoples go to fun ship because win or lose, you're going to have fun in the KV-2. Its a tank which is kinda slow, armor is questionable at best, accuracy is terrible BUT it does mount a 152mm HE derp gun which means it cares little for A) Armor and thus B) Being bottom tier. So, those familiar with WoT will know of the (in)famous KV-2.
