The <value_unset_error> is a [[|]] tier .
<value_unset_error>
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, 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. This tank was originally only available on the RU server, but has now been available in the EU, NA and ASIA portal Gift Shop several times.
The <value_unset_error> marks the end of its line.

Player Opinion
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Good armor all around
- Large HP pool
- Has preferential match making (T5 and T6 only)
Cons:
- Slow speed, turning rate, and acceleration (although no worse than others in the KV line)
- High aim time
- Poor view range
- Poor signal range
- Weak turret cheeks
Performance
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.

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 h.p. The tank was subjected to testing again beginning on 30 May and by 22 June 1941 had traveled a total distance of 1,985 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
- Its original gun was the 85 mm F-30 mounted in an enlarged turret (the T-150's elite turret).
- The KV-220's armament after being refitted with a KV-1 turret was the 76 mm F-32, not the 76 mm ZiS-5.
- Its engine horsepower is actually 850, not 650.
