KV-2 in BR 2.7..

[Cryptid]

why and how is this happening? I faced two of them in one game i actually managed to get an assist on one of them with my T-50.

there is an event one at 3.7 in rb.

just looked they have changed the tech tree one to 3.7 as well, was higher the other day when i wanted to do a challange mission.

both generic 39 model and premium 40model and german captured model at 3.7
i dont see any problem.

KV-2 is imo one of those tanks like FV4005 that even if it was at lower BR it would not make it particularly more effective mainly due to very long reload.
Sure KV-2 can destroy tanks at lower BR at one hit, but then what? At least 30 second reload after you'd be swarmed by smaller more mobile tanks, first goes gun barrel, maybe Panzer 4 with HEAT blows out your track and then it's basically done. Not enough gun depression to shoot targets at close range, someone will eventually set you on fire 3 times and boom.
FV4005 would be even worse because the sheet metal turret could easily be penned even by japanese and french potato cannons.
Now I'm not saying either one should be at lower BR but people imo seem to overestimate how good KV-2 is.

you are right about it being 3.7, but that was months ago.

i agree, literally not hard to kill, and as a player of Lord KV-2 it can be pretty hard to get kills, even in down tiers

This game is getting more and more ridiculous.

what is even remotely ridiculous about a KV-2 at 3.7 in a downtier game at 2.7?

The kv2 has worse armor than the kv1, worse maneuverability and it's only saving grace is a 1:04 reload time if at 2 crew 152mm he nuke launcher. It's fine where it's at now at 3.7. TBH the KV1 L-11 is better than the kv2 in everyway except stock round.
Bait a shot out of a kv2 and watch it cry as you charge it full speed if in CQC. If a long range same idea except now it can't shoot for at minimum 30 seconds.

Nothing. The much more effective KV-1 has been 3.7 for years and doesn't take 20 eons to reload or turn the turret.

its a 3.7 tank, you can see them as low as 2.7.

It has great armor and a great gun, and makes up for it with a long reload time.

Facing a fully-downtiered heavy tank always sucks, but as others stated I'd rather see a KV-2 than a KV-1; KV-1 has slightly less obvious/smaller weakspots and can kill or cripple 3 targets in the time it takes a KV-2 to reload after shooting at 1.

the armor on the KV2 sucks, and the gun isn't even that good, it's a giant meme

Laughs in a 7 kill streak getting survivor award with only 6 shells.
But on a serious note the gun is good just the reload is awful.

Well, the armor has a decent thickness, but it's easier/more predictable to pen than the KV-1, while the super-long reload gun is far from reliable (or at least it wasn't pre-HE update). If that derp gun guaranteed a kill with every direct hit it'd be a decent tank, but as-is. . .
