KV-1 too OP
Pls rise its BR because Pz4 player can't kill it.

10/10 match I see SU always win with KV-1 while German Pz4 can't do anything.

PS. I know it's 100% Germany players' skill issue.

Its in a predicament, the first KV1 has great armour but its gun reload speed wont cut it against the next tier of tanks. But in its own Tier it does feel OP ngl

Meanwhile every Sherman, Chi-Nu, P40 etc. have to deal with them with far less potent guns.

And in a downtier it´s nearly unstoppable for some nations.

The KV-1's gun struggles even at its own BR, let alone if it were to be up BR'd.

Keep in mind that not everything can (and should) be pennable from the front. German guns are usually quite good, even at range. Look for flat surfaces, such as the driver's hatch. If you don't have a shot to that, take out the barrel, tracks, then work your way around it.

If what you're driving can't pen it, then walk away.

It actually depends on the PZ IV variant. The PZ IV J variant combines a high-velocity 75 mm with a good hull down profile, easy-to-angle armor, and a decent movement speed that allows its to do what german tanks do best, snipe at range. Now if your shooting at a KV-1 that's at a wide-angle, then yes, you likely wont hurt it even with the J variant. In this situation, the best thing to do is hide until they expose their armor at a better angle. As long as you can do this, you can fairly easily kill KV-1s with a PV IV J.

However, against any earlier model of Panzer IV, you are absolutely right.

What do you mean Pz4 can't kill KV-1? Even a BT-5 can kill an Abrams. So definitely a Pz4 can kill KV-1.

A BT-5 can kill an abrams due to Russian bias.

Not my problem if German players have the bestst guns at that br yet struugle the most to deal with KVs. Makes me wonder how the other nations deal with it.

I don´t know....
Maybe letting go of the W key from time to time and doing that new thing called flanking.

It's major skill issue on your part if you can't pen a kv1 with a pz4...

I can kill it. But I always see the enemy of KV-1 team always lose like they can't fight KV-1. Sometime only 1 KV-1 can stop the whole team.

downtiers literally dont exist, you cannot prove that it exists because its not real. Uptiers are the standard gameplay.
