KV-1 (help)

[andykorfitz]

i play this mission and i just spendt 20minuts shooting at the same too KV1's

What i have:
7,5 cannaon on a panzer D Or wagon
AT granades
2cm flak

(First skirmish mission Germany)

What is the mission called?

Battle of Moscow?

Look in the trucks around the map for AT mines.

None of those weapons will destroy a KV-1 except the AT grenade and then it needs to be thrown onto the engine deck and cause a fire.

i just rush it with all my light tanks/vehicles. then pop out 1 dude and use the TNT (1 in each vehicle) to throw at the KV1. goes down super easily. KV1 turrent turns too slow.

What i usually do is to sneak cap the heavy arty point without actually capture the other point in order not to trigger the tank wave .

Heavy arty usually give flak 88 and 15cm heavy infantry gun which is the best gun to destroy KV-1 .

Panzer 4 short 7.5 with HEAT round can penetrate the rear , or punch through the KV-1 driver hatch at close range .
Same goes for Panzer 3 , its APCR can penetrate the driver hatch at close range too.


Another solution is too kill any infantry near the KV-1 , destroy the track and then use an infantry carrying TNT pack to destroy it .

Bonus if you managed to capture a KV-2 .

Thx guys all great response. amma go test it out if i know how to xD
never tried the TNT tho. thought it was just there to blow up any left over (not worth repairing) tanks/trucks

You'd be better off picking a different doctrine.

Defensive get the 10.5cm LeFH 18 artillery.
Offensive gets a STUG Ausf F with the L/43 75mm gun. I'd use this on the sides only the front of a KV is going to require a good shot.
Irregular get the 8.8cm FlaK 18.

There is a limit of three of these per battle so look after them.

The artillery has a long range but is inaccurate but you can get lucky and track the KV tanks.

You can equip the TNT and throw it just like a short range timed grenade . Usually 1 is enough to destroy the KV hull and force the crew to abandon the tank so you can capture it later .
