Specifically, the mismatch in crew values caused by commander's 10% crew skill bonus. Outside of a crew of 1 commander only, 100% crew is a fiction. The client values, given for 100% crew, will normally be taken into battle with 110% crew skill members aside from specific functions, causing their actual performance to deviate from the expected client value. These differences are taken into account in tooltip boxes.

KV-220-2 Beta Test

V

1500

The KV-220-2 Beta Test 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 but with the T (test) symbol. It was granted as a gift to beta testers on the RU and SEA servers and is rather rare outside of them. This tank basically 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 only available on the RU server (with the exception of some contests on the EU server)

Player Opinion

Pros and Cons

Pros:

• Superb armor
• Large ammo capacity
• Does not see tier 7 battles, unlike the regular KV-1
• Second highest hit points of all tier 5 heavy tanks, second only to Churchill III
• Superior penetration than the regular 76 mm ZiS-5

Cons:

• Mediocre view range
• Poor signal range
• Slow traverse
• Inaccurate gun

Performance

This tank is in the curious position that its hull armour is far superior to the turret. When confronted with a KV-220, it is always bet to aim for the turret, even the turret front, in order to penetrate the armour.

Historical Info

The KV-220 externally differed from ordinary KVs by the greater length of the hull, an increase of one support roller in the track, and a new turret with the 85 mm F-30 Main Gun. The weapon was specially designed for arming this tank in the design bureau of Plant No. 92, under the supervision of Grabin. It was tested successfully in the T-28 Medium Tank in the fall of 1940. Because of the steep growth in the weight of the tank, which now reached 62 tons, the V-5 engine with 700 h.p. was mounted. Testing of the KV-220 commenced on 30 January 1941 and was halted the very next day because of engine failure.

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

The following are consensus errors or inconsistencies which have been identified with the configuration of the vehicle in question and conflict with information available on the public record. The causes for these divergences in the game are normally not disclosed and may be rooted in game balance.

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.
