Hey Odd, i had a wiered discussion in a match today. Out of that a question arose: what is ur opinion on teamkilling if the teammates dont play in the most ideal way?
I got this tank out of a crate a couple of years ago, not knowing really what it was or why I'd ever want another KV tank variation when I had so many in the tech tree. I put it up in the marketplace for $179 USD and it sold in under 24 hours. I was luckily able to buy a lot of other cool stuff on the marketplace from that one tank sale, but I've been bummed ever since after I learned how monstrous that vehicle is.
@@stevenortiz9008 if they were to raise it's br I can only see it going to 6.0 maybe 6.3 the highest as the T-44 is on par with firepower; ofc the KV-220 doesn't have the APCBC round
@@stevenortiz9008no it doesn't. i do agree it needs a nerf but just a tiny one to make it as good as a kv1 but slightly better gun and armour than the kv1. i say this because if your a good player the kv1 can be a very good heavy even bouncing german 75 sometimes and i think that makes it somewhat balanced.
@@ZETH_27 Yes that's true. But then for the sake of the challenge I would suggest that he picks one without a matched mg. It would be somewhat easy with a milktruck too, but more of a challenge without "cheating" like that.
Just over a year ago I got one of these in the very first WarThunder loot box I ever opened. I wasn't anywhere near 5.7 at the time so I asked Odd if it was worth hanging on to. He said he wished he had one - that was good enough for me! I've played one game in it and the experience was very much what we saw here, it's a monster. :)
@@martiabellan696 I don't know what box it was, I seem to accumulate loads of them somehow. I got around to buying a key on the marketplace and opened one of them. I don't know how you get keys normally or if you even can?
since a lot of people have been playing the pt76 57 recently, and it can swim in water making it a boat, u should try to kill a pt76 57 with a torpedo as a challenge
And i got PTSD when I heard that name, today this "thing" ate 2 MILAN ATGMs to the turret and hull without it being overpreasured. Gaijin added set another "balanced" premium vehicles they are not gonna thouch because it was in the Battle pass. And to be honest I would love to see Odd do this challange with swordfish like past time.
3 fuckers playing that piece of shit were spawn camping my whole team today, together they got almost 30 kills, it took us ages to kill them but then they would respawn with it again
haha, I remember when the Ka-Chi came out and everyone was spamming it. Made a challenge for myself to kill one with a torpedo and actually managed to. That was a lot of fun! I think that trying to get a PT-76-57 with a torpedo is a great challenge idea :)
the russian APHEBC as a whole is broken, likely from old damage/pen models. The game makes those shells normalize against angles in a manner more akin to APCBC ammo. But APCBC doesn't get the buff. The Soviet shell lacks a cap, which would actually help the normalization. To see this in game, compare the t34 85's ammo vs a Jumbo. The UFP has an effective thickness of 170 ish to the soviet APHE and all other APCBC shells. But with the soviet APHEBC the effective armor goes down to 120-135mm.
This whole pen mechanics are rubbish , a simple steel plate can't change the effective thickness against different ammo types . Against AP rounds you got 400mm and against HEAT 200mm and the plate has real effective 220mm .
And it will never be fixed... The HE filler on them also does ridiculous stuff like kill people as far from the explosion as possible, it's almost always a one-shot even though they have less filler than some other rounds that perform worse.
I think the KV-220 was initially introduced as event vehicle, at BR 5.3 (in ABGF, it has moved to 5.7 since). Therefore, for a time you would see them all over the place. But, because the only way to obtain one of these was through the event, only experienced players would have one. That made this already completely overpowered tank into a death sentence if you faced one (there were even full clan squads driving this disgusting thing!). There are very few tanks in this game that actually frighten me, and the KV-220 is the king of them all. It's only saving grace really is the fact that the original generation that played this tank has either left the game or moved on to other tanks. The KV-220 I see nowadays came likely into the game through these box things and were sold over the market place. This means that pretty ordinary players, maybe even outright bad ones play the tanks mostly, and it is not the battle deciding factor it used to be. Thank the gods! The downside to this is though that these bad players screw up the statistics of this tank, with means it will likely never move up in BR as it should do 😑
It's one of the only event vehicles I missed out on getting along with the FJ-4B and honestly I hate myself for missing those events. Two of the three most OP event vehicles ever introduced (the Obj279 being the other, now no longer OP) and I missed them both.
@@JoviaI1 I would have loved to get my hands on the KV 🤓 I can not remember what the conditions of the event were or when it took place, but I guess it was too much. Back when I still played the events I usually got the first tank, which are sometimes great ones like the Pakwagen, but I almost never got to the second tank.
Odd, why are you apologising? Take a break whenever you need to- we understand. It's hard, honestly I don't know how you are still pumping so much good content. rest
It took me a long time to work out why a lot of shots never made a difference when hitting a tank but it was nice to know it was not because of my lack of skill to know where to shoot but at no point was i ever going to get the tank kill because of "pay to win".
I'd love to see you try out full lineups, especially ones in a particularly weak spot atm, like british 2.7 which used to be great, but all the 2.7's have been moved to 3.0 and 3.3, and all the 2.3's that dont belong in 2.7 are now 2.7 for example, the crusader 2, matilda 2, valentine and 2 pounder bobble head (though the 3 inch gun carrier is 2.7 now and that belongs in 3.0, but its so shit that it doesnt matter) gl
British 2.7 was balanced, but because players were doing well (because Bri’ish players are good) they up-BR:d a lot of the vehicles into 3.0+ making the Valentine+Crusader lineup much less effective now that they faced KV-1s much more often.
British 2.7 is excellent in my experience so I'm not sure why you'd think it's in a weak spot. the Matilda II is great, the Valentine I and XI are good and the SARC 2pdr is fun aswell, plus with the event vehicles like the Matilda Hedgehog and AC.1 it's even more fun.
I had this tank in world of tanks before they removed it from the tech tree years and years ago. This video brought me nostalgia, it was my favorite tanks of which I played more than 4000 matches with. Tears
I've wanted one of these things since I found out it was in the game. Not because it's OP, but because I just love the the concept. I miss armour meta.
I've only seen about 4 of these in my WT career. 1 got killed by someone else, 3 I shot in the side. Seeing people struggle against it kinda makes me happy I never faced one head-on so far
Panthers easily easily deal with it and so do VFWs, Waffenträgers etc. Its a trolly tank, yes but 6.7!? It would be completely useless there. I feel like you think the T-44 belongs at 6.7 as well🤨
I play the ARL-44 (ACL-1) a lot which when properly angled works very well. However it’s always a KV-1 or something like that that just magically grabs my side-armour and destroys my crew. Russian tanks man :/
This thing is essentially a Russian Tiger with better armor because of its angles. Its just a monster. I played this thing in its hay-day when it first came out. It was insane.
Holy shit yes! The ARL-44 (ACL-1) is one of the few armour vehicles that is still fun to play without being unbalanced. Good tactical mobility, angled armour and penetration capability. Countered by long reload, no HE filler and bad non-angled armour. It’s both fun and balanced, which is quite rare for a proper heavy tank. I 100% recommend playing it!
Hey oddz, i might have something funny to try out. Try to get as much assists as possible in one game with a scouting vehicle of choice, I had 18 assists and 7 kills with the t-50 and I would love to see you top that!! If you do good luck and enjoy the kv-220 now that you have it!!
I've only fought one once. He was all bushes up and had a EBR helping him. I almost got all of his crew but the EBR bailed him out when I pushed him. It was a big change even in a 76mm Jumbo
This is the biggest hand holding tank in the game, literal 'W' key = Win. I despise this tank and the players that spam it, especially when there are events.
I've only ever seen two of them (both resulted in my death because ive only ever seen two and didn't think to use the Protection map) both games resulted in a win for the opposing team
@@just_a_username8979 I havent played in over a year, but they were prolific as fuck when the events were running. You literally had to play at a complete diff BR just to avoid them. I cant imagine what they are like now with all the armor and shell changes.
@@aussiemilitant4486 with volumetric you have to be a bit more precise with your shots as the shell will bounce from optics or similar, I'm only slightly below avg with a 49% (only started playing last year so I'm a new-ish WT sufferer) so I'm not familiar with the tank in its heyday. Based on the comments it's still about as broken as it was when it was introduced
now imagine paying $900 on this thing? yeah, that's how it feels for me buying stuff from here, no fun with my currency so crappy nowadays... oh well, maybe one day
Awesome! Odd in a KV-220 is a force to be reckoned with lol. Would love to see you play the B7A2 as CAS. I feel like it doesn't get the love it deserves and is an unlikely but very capable CAS plane :)
I played on a friends account for the past two weeks and he had a nasty 9.7 US lineup, and I fell in love with the M60 AMBT. I want it so badly but it’s $400 on the market 😂 I tried my luck with 50$ worth of trophies but no luck. I got the VK 45.01 at least so it wasn’t a total bust
Why russian APBC eats through angles: Russian APBC are AP shells with FLAT nose, and ballisitic cap (wind shield) non soviet APBC is a SHARP tipped AP with ballistic cap. Gaijin thinks that flat nose makes the shell bite into angled armour, normalize and penetrate better than AP with sharp tip. IRL it doesn't work like that at all, but that's what gaijin thinks. It's shown on their wiki about AP shells. On The shooting range about "top 7 best rounds" they metioned it when talking about soviet 85mm APHEBC.
The only cons I can think for the kv 220 is bad reverse speed wich is still better than a t72 or panther and that the commander mg cant depress facing forwards because of the gunner sight
You know i also paid 150 dollars for that thing but i have to say even for it being nerfed slightly it still the best 5.7 tank i played in years i got it last night and i was getting more then 7 kills pergame with the thing its still a very op tank and i am very happy i got it because i have been wanting that thing beside by Russian TV panther for awhile
I don't know why I've had such a unique experience with the KV-220. I don't think I've ever been killed by one, and whenever I see one, I've been in the perfect position to kill it. Latest one was with an IS-2 maybe a week ago, he fucked up a shot and I just hit him right in the flat part below the gun and blew him to outer space.
Here's a challenge for the German tech tree. I call it the 'Ok BOOMer' use a line up with vehicles that use a howitzer main gun only. No planes, just tanks and SPGs.
APCR challenge - play anything 6.7 or higher with an APCR round and only use APCR and go for an ace. The M48 is a good example, but you could use the T26E5 or the T34 or any country's APCR rounds.
Use the BV 138s 20 mil turret cannons to kill enemy tanks. It is difficult but possible, I find that using it as an AC 130 and circling above an enemy you can kill it with the ap belts
i have one of these 220s and it doesnt perform well in my hands..enemy tanks jus tlolpen my armor and i fail to be able to pen the flat armor of tigers up close
this thing is now at 6.0 and it’s another story lol, the vehicle needs really specific games to be able to be useful especially as 6.0 Russia is up tier central. can’t pen many things you run into with the 135 mm of pen and everyone is aware of the breach shot that takes you out immediately. Not to mention the heat vehicles and plethora of other vehicles that can completely negate your armour in these br’s. Thing needs to go back down to 5.7
Hi Odd, I love to see your content. I saw you in some comments on reddit, even on my post (that was removed soon after because I was comparating Wows with wt). I want to say that, we both know (and the major people of the community) that the game is getting really hard to enjoy playing. I just want to say that we still love your content and seeing you always laughing makes it for all! Keep it going and introduce new games in the channel if you feel like to.
I have a potential challenge: British Daimler MkII 1.3 paired with the premium Beaufighter MkI twin 40-mm cannons. I'm sure you can do it. I received the plane as a gift and had fun collecting points at 3.0 in the 1.3 mini beast. I used bushes to be extra sneaky.
i like the KV-220, its a rare vehicle, not many people ever faced it, possible that even some Veterans never saw it. overall quite fun to play, unless you face some HEAT slinger.
Hey you should do a combo video on the F-82E twin-mustang and the M36 Jackson I challenge you to kill 10 tanks shoot down 5 aircraft and survive the match
There are none. Because the tank has uniform armour you can ether pen it everywhere or nowhere… However, some spots that are less angled include the lower frontal glacisplate (you won’t be able to go through this), the turret front (incredibly small target and your spalling will be absorbed by the breech), and finally the roof MG turret (the MG likes to remove your shells from existence, but if you pen the turret crew will be damaged and the KV-220 will roll back behind cover and repair). It has no real weakness. You essentially have to kill it like a bad gun against a jumbo: Gun barrel or breech, tracks, drive around side. The KV-220 is an absolute joke that Gaijin has thrown at us. At it’s BR most guns can’t go through it anywhere and where they can, it’ll do no damage. In turn - due to the Russian angle performance - if you have a single piece of armour thinner than 100mm the KV-220 can one-shot you with it’s explosive filler. And even if it doesn’t it can reload before you can recover. To add insult to injury, the KV-220’s mobility is arcadishly good being able to accelerate and turn faster than a Sherman (somehow), only lacking slightly in top speed (which is still more than sufficient).
YES, I AM COLLECTING COUPONS LIKE THEY'RE FOODSTAMPS! STONKS ^
Let’s go you got it
Hey Odd, i had a wiered discussion in a match today. Out of that a question arose: what is ur opinion on teamkilling if the teammates dont play in the most ideal way?
Thanks though. We can see what the hype is about without spending the cash.
Did you actually buy it or did you just not sell it? I'm a bit confused. Good video... 🙂
Hi ^_^
For a vehicle suggestion, have you tried the T32? It’s got 300mm on it’s turret, albeit at 7.3
Also, have you tried out Sprocket?

I played on a friends account for the past two weeks and he had a nasty 9.7 US lineup, and I fell in love with the M60 AMBT. I want it so badly but it’s $400 on the market 😂 I tried my luck with 50$ worth of trophies but no luck. I got the VK 45.01 at least so it wasn’t a total bust
You’re very lucky even getting a vehicle because I’ve used well over 30k in GE and still only gotten 6 rares and nothing but commons
Why russian APBC eats through angles:
Russian APBC are AP shells with FLAT nose, and ballisitic cap (wind shield)
non soviet APBC is a SHARP tipped AP with ballistic cap.
Gaijin thinks that flat nose makes the shell bite into angled armour, normalize and penetrate better than AP with sharp tip.
IRL it doesn't work like that at all, but that's what gaijin thinks. It's shown on their wiki about AP shells.
On The shooting range about "top 7 best rounds" they metioned it when talking about soviet 85mm APHEBC.
You should be proud of your content OddBawZ, always top tier.
Now watch the KV-220 blow up in price on the Gaijin market
The only cons I can think for the kv 220 is bad reverse speed wich is still better than a t72 or panther and that the commander mg cant depress facing forwards because of the gunner sight
Gaijin needs money for the Hampter wheels 😋
Going the entire video without being penned really goes to show how unstoppable this tank is at 5.7
OddBawZ: "always kill the tank that's the biggest threat"
Me in FCM 36 at 11.0: Holds J
You know i also paid 150 dollars for that thing but i have to say even for it being nerfed slightly it still the best 5.7 tank i played in years i got it last night and i was getting more then 7 kills pergame with the thing its still a very op tank and i am very happy i got it because i have been wanting that thing beside by Russian TV panther for awhile
'Thanks for showing me your machine gun hole' - KV220
'uWu' - Jaggyboo
Welcome to the KV220 group. Its an amazing time this thing eats tigers for breakfast.
oh man welcome to the fun tank, been running the 220 since the original operation summer and its rarely let me down
I don't know why I've had such a unique experience with the KV-220. I don't think I've ever been killed by one, and whenever I see one, I've been in the perfect position to kill it. Latest one was with an IS-2 maybe a week ago, he fucked up a shot and I just hit him right in the flat part below the gun and blew him to outer space.
The only time I managed to kill this tank was when I shot its mountlet with M4A1(76)W and it bounced inside. But I normally just run when I see it :D
Goes to show that in the hands of an experienced and talented player, any above average tank becomes a nightmare.
Hey if you have the Katyusha truck it would be nice to see a video about it because there are not really new videos about it
This vehicle is totally balanced... with its price. Totally not p2w.
As always, nice one odd.
🤣
So you can hide hull and cant be penned in front and when shell pen its eaten by cannon breach? What is that, new jumbo?
Wish you could play a few rounds in your coupons so You'd see if you like them or not...
Been wanting that for years now
Here's a challenge for the German tech tree. I call it the 'Ok BOOMer' use a line up with vehicles that use a howitzer main gun only. No planes, just tanks and SPGs.
APCR challenge - play anything 6.7 or higher with an APCR round and only use APCR and go for an ace. The M48 is a good example, but you could use the T26E5 or the T34 or any country's APCR rounds.
I fought that thing once and had no idea what it was, it bounced 4 shots of my long 88 and then just killed me, I was so discombobulated
Use the BV 138s 20 mil turret cannons to kill enemy tanks. It is difficult but possible, I find that using it as an AC 130 and circling above an enemy you can kill it with the ap belts
Happy New Year and welcome back my friend….The March to 200 k. Here we go….
Hello odd , I was in the severks game with my friends, it was a good match playing with you!
i have one of these 220s and it doesnt perform well in my hands..enemy tanks jus tlolpen my armor and i fail to be able to pen the flat armor of tigers up close
I’ve never seen that part of the shop before - is only for PC players?
Glad to see you back, OddBawZ! Started to get concerned that something was wrong.
Great to see you back - I was worried you were having a bad time with the arrhythmia
OddBawz, it would be an absolute blessing to see you play star citizen at some point, lots of shenanigans to be had
A whole $150 on pixels? Oh my sweet Summer child....have you been introduced to Star Citizen yet? LMFAO
And yeah....I am balls deep in it.
Wow, this vehicle is so OP! Great video OddBawz. Can't wait for the next :)
this thing is now at 6.0 and it’s another story lol, the vehicle needs really specific games to be able to be useful especially as 6.0 Russia is up tier central. can’t pen many things you run into with the 135 mm of pen and everyone is aware of the breach shot that takes you out immediately. Not to mention the heat vehicles and plethora of other vehicles that can completely negate your armour in these br’s. Thing needs to go back down to 5.7
Happy New Year BawZ!
"Oh it's a child..." KAPOW
That bomb killfeed at 13:22 was pretty sweet
Hi Odd, I love to see your content. I saw you in some comments on reddit, even on my post (that was removed soon after because I was comparating Wows with wt).
I want to say that, we both know (and the major people of the community) that the game is getting really hard to enjoy playing.
I just want to say that we still love your content and seeing you always laughing makes it for all! Keep it going and introduce new games in the channel if you feel like to.
I have a potential challenge: British Daimler MkII 1.3 paired with the premium Beaufighter MkI twin 40-mm cannons.
I'm sure you can do it. I received the plane as a gift and had fun collecting points at 3.0 in the 1.3 mini beast. I used bushes to be extra sneaky.
Saw the TH-cam notification and clicked so fast! Love oddbawz’s videos!!👌
Odd not aiming at the Tiger cheeks makes me enter caveman mode.
Good to see you back fella!!!
Hi Odd, I love your videos! I was wondering if you could play the T92 Light Tank. Keep up the great content!
Same
Two days before I was going to purchase it a well known CC releases a video on it... It proceeds to skyrocket in price... Odd, you make me cry :(
I feel like the tiger H1 should go to 6.7 or atleast 6.0, because it would face heavy tanks from other nation that were build to counter it.
What's scarier than a death fridge?
A Turbo death fridge!
I thought that you will do a video about german kv 2 looking at the thumbnail :)
i like the KV-220, its a rare vehicle, not many people ever faced it, possible that even some Veterans never saw it.
overall quite fun to play, unless you face some HEAT slinger.
15:16 if this a lackluster gun, what is a good one?
OddBawZ, thank you for the vid. I look forward to your videos as they help me get through my work day.
panzer 4 smoking as you turned the corner.. total squid reflex. haha
Absolutely loved the video odd! I love the KV-220 and if I could buy one I definitely would. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas and new year’s
This looks OP as all hell
Where do you fear getting shot in it?
front middle plate?
this is the only tank i've ever hit 20 kills in one life with
it's insane
When he said kill the biggest threat I thought of seeing a fv 4000 shell go into an asu 57 for some reason
Hey you should do a combo video on the F-82E twin-mustang and the M36 Jackson I challenge you to kill 10 tanks shoot down 5 aircraft and survive the match
I like how the video started with “I waste”
Happy new year bawz .
quick question. how do you kill kv220. i got bullied by one in a panther not knowing the weak spot on it.
There are none. Because the tank has uniform armour you can ether pen it everywhere or nowhere…
However, some spots that are less angled include the lower frontal glacisplate (you won’t be able to go through this), the turret front (incredibly small target and your spalling will be absorbed by the breech), and finally the roof MG turret (the MG likes to remove your shells from existence, but if you pen the turret crew will be damaged and the KV-220 will roll back behind cover and repair).
It has no real weakness. You essentially have to kill it like a bad gun against a jumbo: Gun barrel or breech, tracks, drive around side.
The KV-220 is an absolute joke that Gaijin has thrown at us. At it’s BR most guns can’t go through it anywhere and where they can, it’ll do no damage. In turn - due to the Russian angle performance - if you have a single piece of armour thinner than 100mm the KV-220 can one-shot you with it’s explosive filler. And even if it doesn’t it can reload before you can recover. To add insult to injury, the KV-220’s mobility is arcadishly good being able to accelerate and turn faster than a Sherman (somehow), only lacking slightly in top speed (which is still more than sufficient).
@@ZETH_27 thanks very helpful. so i should just avoid fighting the kv220 in the first place?
@@thunderwithchrissy If you ever encounter it. Hope, Pray, Run, abandon Hope. In that order.
the marketplace prices are utterly ridiculous but what do you expect when people are allowed to ask whatever the hell they want with no regulation.
Any chance you could play some French 6.7 - 7.7 tanks?
11:36 OddbawZ: Oh a child (kills it immediately) 💀💀
Love your content odd, happy New Years and merry Christmas
Wait. This thing has the same br as the Tiger E?
