Please check the KV-1S armor values

[Faustnik]

RO Developers,

Could you please check the KV-1S armor values in the game please. The KV-1S seems to be penetrated easily from the frontal arc even by PzIIIs and PzIVF1s. The hull armor of the KV-1S was 75mm@30 degrees and the turret fromt armor was 82mm.

Thank you!

Maby the armor was damaged?

I've noticed this too. Seems like since the patch the KV-1S seems to go up in flames alot easier than the T34 which seems weird considering it was a heavy tank while the T34 was a medium. I find myself choosing the T34 now over it for greater protection. Does the T34's armor slope really give it better protection than the KV-1S? KV-1S is my favorite Russian tank too which makes me sad.

There's alot of things with the armor that need to be fixed.

The KV-1S was a updated but still outa date model of tank used as a stop gap for the T-34s. The T-34 was way better with the sloped armor and the added range from a much longer and more powerfull main gun.

To pout it bluntly the T-34 was a much better tank and should be better in game like it is now.

What?

The KV was intended for a different role than the T-34, it was not a stop-gap for it. The KV-1S had reduced armor from earlier KV-1 models in order to improve mobility. The question of if the T-34 was better tank than the KV has no relevance to a question on the armor model of the KV in RO.

I would much rather see the standard model KV in game instead of the s version. It was a much more, "heavish" tank then the S version since it had the thicker armor and was slower.

Really, does the KV-1s have ANY benefits over the T-34 in this game? At all?

I believe the KV-1S was put ingame as a balance percaution so that it wouldnt be practically immune to the german tanks it faced...

It should be replaced by a more representative model of the KV-1 series, in my opinion. The KV-1S was a horrible model to put in...

Same here, It would be almost like a Russian version of the Tiger (armor wise not the gun) 90mm of frontal armor=nice!

They should never have put it in the game then.

yes.. i said that already .

The KV-1 model 1941 would be the best choice for the game in my opinion.

Probably the best choice, though I have a thing for the KV-1E with appliqu

meanwhile ingame the pzIII can 1 hit knockout a kvis from a frontal on the ammo storage, and its practically impossible to angle so as to not take damage from a p4 f1

Well, a PzIII would have more of a chance against the KVS than other types of KV tank.

The KVS is the "sports" edition of the KV tanks. It has less armmor so it can go faster and keep pace with those nippy t-34s.

Thats a hell of a ugly love-child

The problem for RO, in my opinion, is that when the Germans were presented with an opponent they could not destroy, they just called in air support to get rid of them. Something that isn't portrayed in RO at all. If the KV-1S or any other model of KV were introduced accurately the Germans would require this in order to overcome it.

... anti-tank guns?

I think so, we need anti-tank guns.

And yet people want the Tiger to be a super tank and even want the King Tiger added. Pffff, double standards.

A KV-1 1941 could still be taken down by a PzKfw III or IV, it jus thad to be flanked or hit at close range, much like the Tiger. Either that or call in the artillery.
