The KV-220-2 is a Soviet tier 5 premium heavy tank.
Development of KV-220 on the basis of the KV heavy tank started in the summer of 1940. A prototype was built on December 5. Unlike other KV modifications, the tank featured an elongated hull, additional support roller, enhanced armor (100 mm), and a new turret with the 85 mm F-30 gun. In the fall of 1941, production of the KV-1 was discontinued. The vehicle received the mass-produced KV turret and was sent to the frontlines.
It is identical in all ways to the KV-220 Beta-Test but without the T (test) symbol. It was granted as a gift to players on the RU server and is very rare outside of it. This tank has a KV-3 hull with a KV-1 turret and armed with an adequate gun for its tier. While having better armor than the KV-1 it can still easily be destroyed by an upgraded KV-1. The KV-220-2 was originally only available on the RU server, but has now been available in the EU, NA and ASIA portal Gift Shop several times.

Player Opinion
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Excellent hull armor for its tier, greatly rewards angling and side-scraping
- Rare tank, leaving players confused as to where to shoot it
- Large health pool (higher than a fully upgraded KV-1)
- Decent gun depression
- Preferential matchmaking -- will never see Tier VII battles
Cons:
- Turret armor is fairly weak
- Sluggish mobility and traverse (also the hull is massive)
- Bad accuracy and low penetration (even with premium ammunition)
- Bad signal and view range, similar to the KV-1
Performance
Angling your armor is the name of the game in this tank. Placed into the hands of a skilled heavy tank driver it's capable of holding an entire flank. The only real threats when in Tier V games are derp guns firing HE, artillery, and some other heavy tanks like the O-I Experimental from close range. You can't overestimate this tank though as its front can be penetrated if left unangled. Ramming with this tank can be very effective. Some players go so far as to use the Controlled Impact skill, although that can be difficult if transferring crews back and forth from another tank.
With a one-crew-for-each-position crew setup -- Commander/Gunner/Driver/Radio Operator/Loader -- the KV-220-2 is crew-compatible with three other Soviet premiums: the Churchill III, the KV-1 Shielded, and the newer KV-1SA; the exact same crew can be used in all three tanks without penalty. Non-premium crews that can be plugged in to any of these are the KV-1, KV-1S, and T-150.

Historical Info
In contrast to artillerymen, tankers were falling far behind in the development of a new heavy tank. Therefore they decided to employ the KV-220 to accelerate the work of testing the new assemblies and aggregates of the KV-3. On 20 April 1941 a new engine was finally mounted in the KV-220 and the tank, loaded up to 70 tons -- the loaded weight of a KV-3 -- was submitted for testing. By the end of May 1941 it had been driven 1330 kilometres. In the report of the plant test personnel it was noted that the tank had "a poor-shifting transmission, the support roller spindles and suspension arms had bent, the torsion bars had twisted, and the engine lacked sufficient power for a 70-ton tank."
On 20 May the KV-220 was brought in for repair, in the course of which the vehicle received a V-2SN Diesel Engine with supercharger producing 850 hp. The tank was subjected to testing again beginning on 30 May and by 22 June 1941 had traveled a total distance of 1985 km. But because of problems that arose during the preparation of the forged turret the work period was extended.
In total, only one prototype was constructed in 1941.

Historical Accuracy Errata
Despite using a KV-3 hull, its current armor thickness is 120/100/100 instead of 120/90/90.
- Its actual armament is the 76 mm F-32 gun. The ZiS-5 configuration is fake.
