08:50 WOW, killing that ELC EVEN from that distance whilst at full speed is epic. Skiiiiils timing always astounds me and considering every day its a new tank with slightly different shell velocities makes his aim even more impressive 👌
"If you get the right MM" is such a copout "advantage" for a tier 8 tank these days. Tier 6 downtiers barely ever happen anymore. I played around 80 Vk100P games trying to do HT12 and i got tier 6 MM a total of 3 times i counted.
One of my best, nailbiting games happened in this tank, so will forever be one of my favs. It was also in Fisherman's Bay. I did over 4k in damage, blocked over 5k and got my second Kolobanov's. Thankfully the last 2 meds came at me one at a time as I had around 100hp left, and that allowed me to let me finish off arty for the win.
KV-4 is one of my fav tanks all time. I used to be bad (but in learning mode) and i love this vehicle. Gun + amazing sidescrap it is perfect combination. I believe that tank deserves to be epic category without doubt. Like u said. It is extremly underrated..
Ever since its turret armor got buffed a year or two ago KV-4 has been a bit of a hidden gem imho. Your gun's not exactly Russian--you can hit shots without having to appease Stalin (or, for the 112, Mao). Stalin allows this because instead you have to appease him to get your armor to do its job. It's a two-way troll street: I've been penned (while angling, or at least trying to) by IS-6s and 112s (admittedly, their normal AP got buffed to 196 at some point), but blocked Deathstar AP, Jadpanzer E100 AP (and even HEAT, once or twice). Hell, it'll always hold a special place in my heart, besides it being my first tier 8 and currently the only tank I've 3-marked, because when I first bought it, in like 2017 or 2018, basically 100% stock (stock turret and one of the 122mm guns) within the first, oh, 5 games, get tier 10 on live Oaks, and IDK _how,_ but I found myself doing damage to the Deathstart and Obj 704, while also bouncing their AP. I've also wanted to make a sort of unicum guide for it, but I lack both any skill/experience in video editing, nor am I funny, and my win rate both in it and overall is 50%, so I'm not really qualified imho. Oh, and it's REALLY good at trolling BZ-176 players. I've yet to be caught with my pants down where it penned me with its AP, and the most damage HE has ever done was, like, 200.
First high tier tank I ever 3 marked without even trying to. Didn't even know what it mean back then and this was before I even knew about gun rammer and improved vents
It's an amazing tank, I love it with all my heart, I always called "Queen KV-4" because of the coupola, remember me a crown 😂 I miss ST-1 video, the next in tech tree. I'm kinda struggling to make it work 🙃
KV-4 was my highest WN8 tier 8 tank ever, and my fastest third mark. The side armor is amazing to over side scrape and bait shots, and the gun is awesome, even with standard.
I was SHOCKED beyond belief when i managed to fully upgrade KV4, it was MUCH better than i ever expected, its one of my highest scoring tanks when it comes to xp just because it was consistently good 👌
kv-4's bounce mechanics are so simple you put the Corner of your turret or hull towards the gun aiming at you bounce nearly 80% of the time. the other 20% are smart ducks
KV-4 was my first tier 8 heavy. I got it way back in 2014 or so. The armor was much better back in the days when premium ammo could only be bought with gold. The gun was absolutely horrible though. It had trash dpm and the aim time was so bad lol I used to love face hugging T32's because they had such bad pen they couldn't go through my front reliably. I remember one time in a tier 10 game I blocked over 14k damage lmao
Reminds me of that Jingles video that's literally 10 years old (IIRC) by now of a KV-4 that had, like, over 20k blocked or something absolutely obscene like that.
I remember taking screen shot when after finishing my 3rd mark on this tank I was at the first place in wot tank ratings on eu server... This tank was a blast. Sidscrape god.
Kv-4 is a great tank for when you just don't give a damn and want te get stuck right in, lot's of players will chocke and bounce a lot of shots if you play realy aggressive and overangele a lot. Also great for trolling bz-176 palyers.
I did my block dmg for 279 E with KV-4. It happened to have an enemy IS who was with the small pp and was just shooting at me- like 20 times and he couldn’t penetrate me. He was 1 shot and I let him have his time. Easy
So I just got this tank today for 10,000 bonds and first game was on Abbey. OMG this tank is nasty!!! It is the epitome of a brawler. Gun is boom boom punch you in the face, armor is yeah hit me awesome and ramming damage is get out of my way mean. This is in my top 10 favorite Tier VIII tanks.
my experience with this tank has been horrendous, and still is... big lump that barely moves around, and everything goes through me like through butter, while I can't pen almost anything at all
Your stock grind will be horrendous yes. And of course, this tank has no armor when you load the heats. Just make sure to not think like you have insane turret armor, you don't. Just poke and cover. Your enemies are mostly the premiums anyway. Let them brawl with other premiums.
i feel like the kv-4 was one of the worst stock grind experiences i had with the guns because i could not hit anything but then after i got it fully maxed out it felt like a totally different tank
1st game..Yea. You took a lot of dmg. When 3 of them went trololol on you. And they all died. IF you have had just one teammate as backup for the crucial seconds that push took then it would have been a diff game. You would have taken 2 less hits, at least.. 2nd game WOWSERS for an aimbot on that elc
Skiiiiieeel i would recommend to you to try out IS-5 once again, im having a blast with that tank and i know that you don't like it at all for some reason :/
KV-4 is one of the best T8 heavies, it offers reliable armour, workable gun and mobility, especially when compared to its competitors: Many are not heavy enough (is-3, tnh, caer, ...) Some are too heavy to be interesting (vk, o-ho) Some are just terrible versions of top tiers (emil, M-III, AMX,...) Many are either terrible premiums or op premiums, both boring Kv-4 somehow sits right in the middle (barely below too heavy), and offers you more or less what the t10 will, which makes it a fun tank to grind or play
The KV4 is like if the IS3 was noob friendly, fight me. The thing has rather idiot proof armor, a great gun, and now if you attach a turbo on it isn't even that slow
how this gun at 460 meters is more accurate than the 128mm gun on the borsig? I can't hit shit even i have 90% of the enemy tank in my aim circle, and if i do hit, the short will dive down to the track to do zero damage or the shell will be pulled like a magnet to the gun mantle of a medium tank and bounce. idk, if you are not top tier, this thing is 100% useless. all it takes is some higher tier tanks to hit your machine gun turret at the top or they can just go right through the frontal armor of this thing easy.
08:50 WOW, killing that ELC EVEN from that distance whilst at full speed is epic. Skiiiiils timing always astounds me and considering every day its a new tank with slightly different shell velocities makes his aim even more impressive 👌
I love that moments when skill say something like "learn to aim" and miss the shot.
"If you get the right MM" is such a copout "advantage" for a tier 8 tank these days. Tier 6 downtiers barely ever happen anymore. I played around 80 Vk100P games trying to do HT12 and i got tier 6 MM a total of 3 times i counted.
You can turn your turret very slightly like a Maus/E100 and bounce more shots that way too
Blocking missions are usually based on the tank that you used hit points….
One of my best, nailbiting games happened in this tank, so will forever be one of my favs. It was also in Fisherman's Bay. I did over 4k in damage, blocked over 5k and got my second Kolobanov's.

where did go Afonso, I missed you a lot. Beers on you

my favourite tier 8

Kv4 is my favourite tier 8 so underrated
kv-2 with 107mm back at the days was 10/10
Thank you skull4ltu !!. I am new player in WOT, and you taught me a lot to play this game more fun!!
First high tier tank I ever 3 marked without even trying to. Didn't even know what it mean back then and this was before I even knew about gun rammer and improved vents
KV-4 for me is one of the best tanks that i 3 marked. APCR are enough to f with tier X.
Back when gold ammo cost gold this bad boy was my absolute favorite.
Only big down side of the KV-4 is the turret on the turret.
But have good armor
It's an amazing tank, I love it with all my heart, I always called "Queen KV-4" because of the coupola, remember me a crown 😂
I miss ST-1 video, the next in tech tree. I'm kinda struggling to make it work 🙃
Everyone : kv-4 my favorite tier 8 tank
Tier 8 : 25 of 30 tank is premium vehicle and the other 5 grinding stock tank, wtf you guys talkin about.
KV-4 was my highest WN8 tier 8 tank ever, and my fastest third mark. The side armor is amazing to over side scrape and bait shots, and the gun is awesome, even with standard.
I was SHOCKED beyond belief when i managed to fully upgrade KV4, it was MUCH better than i ever expected, its one of my highest scoring tanks when it comes to xp just because it was consistently good 👌
I have a very low winrate on a near stock KV-4 and I’m just considering scrapping it, as it killed my patience and made me play the SU TD line instead
this tank is a monster against t6s
kv-4's bounce mechanics are so simple you put the Corner of your turret or hull towards the gun aiming at you bounce nearly 80% of the time. the other 20% are smart ducks
yeah, i call bullshit on this bullshit
SKIEEEEEL did you see the replay where a gentleman managed 9k in caernarvon? It is truly a beautifully played game and worth a video ;)
KV-4 was my first tier 8 heavy. I got it way back in 2014 or so. The armor was much better back in the days when premium ammo could only be bought with gold. The gun was absolutely horrible though. It had trash dpm and the aim time was so bad lol

When you’re playing the kv4 you should angle the armor of the turret just like on the maus. Helps bounce many more shots
Kv4 its my first love on wot
I remember taking screen shot when after finishing my 3rd mark on this tank I was at the first place in wot tank ratings on eu server... This tank was a blast. Sidscrape god.
Kv-4 is a great tank for when you just don't give a damn and want te get stuck right in, lot's of players will chocke and bounce a lot of shots if you play realy aggressive and overangele a lot. Also great for trolling bz-176 palyers.
One of my favorite tanks, I think it's underrated because everyone was all about the IS3 when I played it.
skill, ur vids genuinely make me happy and am very glad for them
This gun was supposed to be mounted on the KV-2 and on the SU-100Y, but the war broke out and they never came with a tank with a 107mm
I did my block dmg for 279 E with KV-4. It happened to have an enemy IS who was with the small pp and was just shooting at me- like 20 times and he couldn’t penetrate me. He was 1 shot and I let him have his time. Easy
What's the difference between the KV4 and the KV4 Kreslevsky?
When does the KV-4 start to not suck? It's an embarassment at stock, and a hard grind to get out of stock
Hey skill, Manticore is Top of the Tree next month, but I can't find a video for Tier IX GSOR, could we have one please?
How do you know this? I hope it is I am tier 8 British Light tanks and need a push lol
@@heymofo1981 It's in the WoT Monthly rundown WG posted yesterday, Top of the Tree are Manticore and the chinese TD's.
That's some nice news, I hate t7 of that tree, so this will give me motivation to push it
So I just got this tank today for 10,000 bonds and first game was on Abbey. OMG this tank is nasty!!! It is the epitome of a brawler. Gun is boom boom punch you in the face, armor is yeah hit me awesome and ramming damage is get out of my way mean. This is in my top 10 favorite Tier VIII tanks.
Skill=Goat
I hope you're enjoying your vacation! Love you skiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiel
this tank is so painful to play when people spam gold at the turret
Is kv 4 good cr maker?
mkaki
Kv fortress 8s what I call this tank very great armor on tier 8 heavy
my experience with this tank has been horrendous, and still is... big lump that barely moves around, and everything goes through me like through butter, while I can't pen almost anything at all

11:36 shrek has 330 pen, even more than 300!
maybe because it is td?
@@przemeklewandowski7476 skill said it was 300
When I was grinding this tank a took so many gold rounds from my enemies
I Almost changed my nickname to Fort Knox 😂😂
One of the best tech tree heavies, but not the only good one.
I remembered when I had this tank back in 2015, it was a fortress... but by 2017, the vk 100.01 was the new fortress. havent played my kv-4 since
If you hide the cupola in VK 100, you're quite indestructible.
july 20 2021 last video on t-54 lw, show off your lt skills in one of the tanks that benefitted the most from field mods
Kliment Voroshilov loved his tanks
Hi Skiill, would you consider playing WZ-120-1G FT in near future make a video about it?
Skiiiiillll how about a video with your recommended game settings!
Back in the day KV 4 and T 32 best tanks
Where is new microphone ?
hardening turbo is king, really amazing tank. doesnt get penned by BZ that easily also
i love this man
Back in the day like 2015 ish this tank was the absolute dogs bollox, over angle the fuck out of it and spank them with that beast of a gun
Lol first game Skill just showed them how reality is a BIT different 🤣!
1st game..Yea. You took a lot of dmg. When 3 of them went trololol on you. And they all died. IF you have had just one teammate as backup for the crucial seconds that push took then it would have been a diff game. You would have taken 2 less hits, at least..
2nd game WOWSERS for an aimbot on that elc
Zwatsch's favourite tank :D
I love this tank. Got my 2nd pools medal with this beauty. 😁
Do a game with "M10 RBFM" king baboon!
At tier VIII I'm playing premium tanks almost exclusively.
4:13 пробитие

Skiiiiieeel i would recommend to you to try out IS-5 once again, im having a blast with that tank and i know that you don't like it at all for some reason :/
Amazing side armor
KV-4 is one of the best T8 heavies, it offers reliable armour, workable gun and mobility, especially when compared to its competitors:
Many are not heavy enough (is-3, tnh, caer, ...)
Some are too heavy to be interesting (vk, o-ho)

Many are either terrible premiums or op premiums, both boring
Kv-4 somehow sits right in the middle (barely below too heavy), and offers you more or less what the t10 will, which makes it a fun tank to grind or play
I have allmost 10k bonds ant i thinking to get kv4, but I.m not sure...
that is kv5 unless you are trolling
Kinda same as is m?
Panther II please skillll you played it last 2021
I really enjoy playing this tank. thanks for the nice video.
Thank you.
TVP VTU can't wait for you😘
Hey skill, your mic sounds strange... like the high frequencies of your voice seem to be muffled
KV-4 is a tier 8 heavy hidden gem.
thnx
The KV4 is like if the IS3 was noob friendly, fight me. The thing has rather idiot proof armor, a great gun, and now if you attach a turbo on it isn't even that slow
Just a bit...just a little bit more frontal armour...please WG
Ah yes, KV-4tress , my first tier 8 that i marked ^u^
My favorite tier 8
I prefer the KV2 R , than the KV4 tried it didn't like it also I like T34 Shielded, Churchill 3, m4 improved & FV201.
Kv 4 is a good heavy tank, much better than those tanks you named...a kv 4 tier 10 it woulb be great
I vote for chimera next 🥺
I gave up on this cause stock grind was unbearable
so fuuny when you saying lern to aim ha ha
Greetings Po0! :)
Hi Skilll
Most of COmmunist (Soviet/China) are OP in Communist bias games!
Good tank , i think :)
if u cant pen with standard >> load gold. if u cant pen with gold >> learn to aim
Stronk tonk.
how this gun at 460 meters is more accurate than the 128mm gun on the borsig? I can't hit shit even i have 90% of the enemy tank in my aim circle, and if i do hit, the short will dive down to the track to do zero damage or the shell will be pulled like a magnet to the gun mantle of a medium tank and bounce.
idk, if you are not top tier, this thing is 100% useless. all it takes is some higher tier tanks to hit your machine gun turret at the top or they can just go right through the frontal armor of this thing easy.
It’s like the t32 but worse
Is better, more armor and the 122 gun is good
kv-4 is one of the strongest tier 8 heavies in the game imo, but a bit slow :D
Strong against people who do not know how to PEN it
from the player Tankkiller1974dk
i think you need a wide screen monitor your face isnt fitting anymore 8)
yes,,,gold spam...best of the credit card players
Skill is the master of shitfield
great tank. but mm most of the time is crap vs tier 9 or 10. and dmg is low. you just did 262 dmg to a tank ... cmon
gg
No idea how anybody enjoy this tank. It‘s a huge piece of….. it bounce nothing, aimtime is looong, its fucking slow….
