The KV-5 is a Soviet tier 8 premium tank. It can only be purchased with gold. It is known for its enormous hull and turret armor which are the strongest amongst all other premium tanks, but it lacks a proper cannon which is a massive weakness. Not only that, but the KV-5 is also known for having plenty of weak spots, which renders the massive armor close to useless as any experienced player with a proper shot can penetrate KV-5 by shooting the weak spots. The KV-5 is also known for producing a higher amount of credits than the German tier 8 premium tank Löwe.

Historical Info
In April 1941, N. V. Tseits of the SKB 2 design bureau was given six months to design this monster and deliver a prototype, Object 225. His design team included K. I. Kuzmin (hull), L. Sychev (turret) and N. Fedorchuk (running gear). Despite the short time frame, the design of the KV-5 was almost complete by August 1941 and production of the prototype had begun when the approaching German Army forced the design team to evacuate to the Urals. The proposed tank was huge: 11.10m long, 4.00m tall, and weighing around 100 metric tons. The crew of five had plenty of room, but were widely separated inside the huge veichle. Both the driver-mechanic and the radio operator-machine gunner had separate compartments with their own vision cupolas. The turret was large for its three man crew, with another machine-gun cupola on top for the commander.
The project eventualy got canceled in favour of the more advance russian heavy tank designs. No prototype was ever constructed due to the Leningrad Blockade.
