The KV-220-2 is a Soviet tier 5 premium heavy tank.
El desarrollo del KV-220 sobre la base del carro pesado KV comenzó en el verano de 1940. Se fabricó un prototipo el 5 de diciembre. Al contrario que otras modificaciones del KV, el carro poseía un casco alargado, rodaduras de apoyo adicionales, mejor blindaje (100 mm) y una nueva torreta con el cañón F-30 de 85 mm. En el otoño de 1941, se abandonó la producción del KV-1. El vehículo recibió la torreta producida en masa del KV-1 y fue enviado al frente.
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.

Player Opinion
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Good armor all around
- Large HP pool
- Weak spots on turret are hard to penetrate reliably
- Preferential matchmaking (tier 6 max, no tier 7 battles)
Cons:
- Slow speed, turning rate, and acceleration (although no worse than others in the KV line)
- High aim time, low penetration, low alpha, somewhat long reload (4 seconds)
- Poor view range
- Poor signal range
- Weak turret cheeks
Performance
Angling your armor is the name of the game in this tank. Put in the hands of a skilled heavy tank driver, is it capable of holding an entire flank. The only real threats when in tier 5 games is derp guns firing HE, artillery, and some other heavy tanks like O-I Exp from close. You can't overestimate this tank though, as its front can be penetrated if it is 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.
Early Research
No reasearch required, as this is a premium 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 Errata
Actual name is KV-220-2. The KV-220 was equipped with the T-150-220 turret and 85 mm F-30 gun.
- Though a KV-3 hull, its current armor thickness is 100/100/80 instead of 120/90/90.
- Actual armament was the 76 mm F-32, not the ZiS-5.
- Known engine horsepower is actually 850, not 650.
