@@lemons1559 at this point probably. Sunk time/costs and all that. But personalities like Odd could make content about ice melting and it would get views.
This tank is my all time favorite. Good for sniping, and when in close quarter, the reverse speed was good to getting back into cover to reload, but I think they changed that.

Honestly from someone who fell in love with the 5.7 m18 line up, then German 5.7, Russian 5.7 with the su122p and kv122 is one of the most fun and enjoyable lines I’ve played in this game ever it’s somehow always fun never hit or miss
"That's the new Valentine's thing right...? Disgusting !" And then I can hear him clearly spitting on the ground. Man, you just earned a subscriber just by that humor alone :))
I know this is a year old and this might seem weird but this was so helpful I bought the kv-122 for a *starter tank* only cause me and my brother play everyday so he is in 5.3 with France but this was SUPER helpful and this definitely deserves a sub
I wasted my money on 50 loot boxes back then to get this Thank, confused it with the KV-220. But I ended up really liking the KV-122, even managed to buy the 220 later.
It's a lot different when your gunner doesn't aim in zig zags, or your driver actually shifts on time, or your loader isn't waking up to drink pure soy, or your repairs finish in ten seconds instead of five months or your range finder doesn't be like "greater than 800m" -no shit sherlock.- It's also wonderous to not have to be drip fed crew xp working out those ten billion xp necessary items and losing SL because of the crew.
This thing is a great in 5.3 downtiers, where overconfident Panther D and PzIV l/70 players think they’re indestructible snd basically serve themselves on a platter to you.
That thing you said about germany not recapping points is so true. I blame their sluggish vehicles and lack of a light tank at that BR. VK and panthers having a 3º/s turret rotation, jagdpanther and nashorn have no turret.. basically only tiger is left to do all the work... That's why so many people still bring 3.0 pumas in that BR Try playing with that horrible 5.3 jumbo M4A3E2. I doubt anyone can get an ace with that horrendous gun
Im not joking. That 75mm Canon with 91pen solid shot at 5.3 is hot garbage. At 4.3 is king, but 5.3 or 6.3 is super trash. Perhaps a challenge going stock ammo like he did with m18
Man i'm kinda new to this game and i started with russian tree after couple hundrets of battles i bought this tank and sherman one at 5.3 . I love this thing with all my heart 1 shoting everything ❤ and also the sound of the gun is pure orgasmic
I feel u dude, I shot a tiger directly in the side as an Is-4 and it did nothing and yesterday I shot a panther's upper plate with the 230mm pen shell and it bounced n I was like sure thing Gaijin
It’s probably/most likely because I’m a Soviet main, but the reload rate doesn’t bother me tbh I truly love the KV-122, I take it up to 6.7 Love the tank because of WoT and grew to love it even more in WT
😥Bringing me back to 2020!!! Aw I so miss playing blitz in the OLD KV122... The chaos I would ensue to enemies, I got my first all 7 kill game in it, I got this thing for the exact same reason, the memories before WT
Man I remember streaming with this guy years ago for a few hours. I got a little boost in viewers and some guy recognized me weeks later and did a get down Mr. president and died for me. Legendary subs here
Bought this beast a couple months ago and its been one of my favourite tanks to use. I play it more like a TD since it’s armour is pretty meh for its B.R especially up tiers but I’ll still get a couple kills with it easy till im scouted or bombed lol
Trade offer - You get a shell that will upper front plate a panther every day. But you get a 20 second reload and you still can't pen the 400mm of gaijin plot armour on the side of panthers and tigers.
2:30 this happens too often. Sometimes teammates ram you just driving to a wall. Not like you are in the way to anywhere. I bet these are so frustrated for the previous match where they were owned that they want to annoy teammates in return.
I used to love the 122 (apart from reload), but I find it really inconsistent now - shots that should be easy one shots end up doing almost no damage at all etc.
THIS, i bounced so many shots on tiger hulls and panther ufps. I penned a panther mantlet and the mg38 absorbed ALL the shrapnel, making the breech yellow
Love how ppl keep whining about Russian bias, but once they actually start playing the tree - it’s always “Hello?! What? How? Whaaaat?! Wait a moment…” etc.
Hearing OddBawZ saying "the armour is not very good on this thing" while talking about a USSR tank (that are generally volumetric hell to shoot at), and often is facing guns that have absolutely terrible angle pen. My cup of tea almost came back out my nose, so thank you for that OddBawZ ^^
volumetric hell only really starts with the IS-1, the tanks with the KV hulls are really easy to kill, plus this things turret has two giant 40mm weak spots o the front of it
USSR tanks are only volumetric hell when you specifically decide to shoot the volumetric hell. All KV and IS series have the same huge flat lower front plate that almost any 4.7+ tank can pen without any issues.
If it helps to alleviate the upset. I didn't write it, but my mind was mostly thinking about facing the endless hordes of T-34 and KV-1 tanks when against them with vehicles that have "just enough pen" on their rounds. So all the armour overlaps just say nope (mostly happens in uptiers, which happen often). I don't struggle to take them out when: - Firing rounds that have more pen than needed. - I have time to aim. - I am concentrating enough to successfully snap shot/panic fire at weak spots.
@@Creeeamm Just abuse your big juicy rear armor and good reverse speed. The IS tanks are one of the best for reverse angling. But definitely don't act like you're unkillable and as if you can push like an idiot.
Just wanted you to know. The guy that tried to bomb you. On the last game. Did it three times and missed every time. So he went and reloaded 3 times LOL
It always boogles my mind how they come up with reload times on some vehicles, like the KV122 is there a required 🍵 ☕️ break between each loaded shell compared to other KV1 type tanks?
@@ViralMag_Ravager Do yourself a favor and look up how large those shells are and then imagine loading them inside that cramped turret with 2 other dudes and a colossal breech in the way. 20 seconds is being nice.
@@ViralMag_Ravager It's a lot like the Firefly, in that the gun was never designed to be put in a tank, let alone inside a proper turret. Its more of a Cludge that kinda works and was needed to deal with the "Big Cats".

I understand health issues and pray for your best. The ramming issue, remember, the internet is basically the worst form of communication we have. When you READ something written online, it's like it's set in stone instead of just some stuff someone muttered. Your brain hyper fixates on any kind of negativity online. But it's not real. It's not the same as someone saying something negative to your face--which would raise alarm bells--but your BRAIN thinks it is. So just protect your thoughts, Odd. As one man, to another. War Thunder brings out the worst in people, and the internet brings out the worst in people. So if you're not careful (and I KNOW how health problems can make things worse), it can eat you up inside. Make sure to set in stone, a time to relax and decompress. Don't wait for an opportunity to relax. You'll burn out if you don't. As always, best wishes, --Chris
Hi Odd. The same thing happened to me where some one blamed me for there bad start and I did not even touch them. They called me all the names they could and I lost my train of thought and had a very bad game.
You should play the kv2(zis-6) its really good decent reload and an absolute unit of an aphe and can upper plate a jumbo. And has insane angle physics it just wont bounce
Love playing the zis 6 that 17 second reload is pretty tasty on such a derpy gun and yes the angle performance is amazing front plating panthers is so fun.
"Your fault for stopping". Someone never drove a car in their life. That's not how law works, it's on the guy behind to keep a safe distance to be able to break... where did he get his tank license?!
I am running into the same recently with german tanks. Those side skirts on Panther and Tiger are eating up 122,PT76 Heat,US76 and so on and i having 0 pens or little damage despite the HE filler where in the menu/armor pen it is a clear kill.
HELLO! Sorry if I'm a bit off this video, I'm a bit stressed and pained but it'll pass! Over the weekend, we only play fun tanks I like! :)

Let’s goooo
Hi
what do you think about germanys tech tree
I love the KV-122, I've had some of my best matches in it, 14 kills a zone cap, victory and didn't die, pretty damn good for a pleb like me.
I know the 85 is much more viable because of the reload, but I honestly prefer the 122 just because I don't have to risk getting trolled by the Panther turret's volumetric hell
The ability to lolpen a panther is hard to overstate at that BR
The Russian 122 is one of my favorite weapons in the game. Annihilating panthers through the Upper front plate is just straight dopamine.
Agree
" I don't have to risk getting trolled by the Panther turret's volumetric hell"
Gaijin: Hold my incompetence
Boomstick is funnier
"It can UPF a Panther, at 5.3"
Su-152 at 4.0: "am I a fking joke to you?"
SU-100Y at 4.7: *lightskin stare*
Back when I used a soviet 5.0 lineup I used the SU-152. Always funny.
Germany 5.7 has by far one of the best line ups at that BR, but by far some of the worst players in the entire game.
Something something skill floor
It's on par with 9.7 Russia
omg its so good. the tiger E the two panthers at 5.7 the prem do b2 and the dora for me is better at cas hunting then the k4.
Have u ever seen a average US teams at this br?
@@SharkGoesRawr people horribly understate how stupid US and USSR teams are too
Blind face roll keyboard gameplay kind that wants jumbo to be 4.7
The time he said 'HALLO' when the 122 didn't pen the tiger .. almost killed me 💥🤣
ever since they "fiked" solid shot fragmentation it seems volumetric and pen has been acting particularly weird.
this place on the tiger is immune to damage now
haello??
The only things better about the KV-85 vs the KV-122 is the shorter reload and that sweet bucket hanging on the back.
This pail is essential if crew stress levels rise.
Bucket is so good
Just noticed that the AM-1 in the 1st game was killing tanks with SEA MINES! Didn't know that still worked!
Sea Mines are very effective.. they are similar to like a 1500lb bomb in explosive mass.
Yeah.. they are better than bombs
7:47 I love that "hallo" every time 🤣
Odd: “There’s a guy waaay over there”
…adjusts cannon with no rangefinding and bonks a Chaffee in one shot.
Too good.
After hundreds of games with a single gun it becomes a 2nd nature

game so realistic it simulates even unreliable equipment
I swear, the turret cheeks are made out of cookie dough
Been waiting for this cheers petal
We need more of the mad oddbawz
This tank makes me a better player, because the reload rate stops me from overextending.
i picked this up during the last big half off sale lemme tell ya it is worth the money! the 122 at this tier rocks!
I used to love the 122 (apart from reload), but I find it really inconsistent now - shots that should be easy one shots end up doing almost no damage at all etc.
THIS, i bounced so many shots on tiger hulls and panther ufps. I penned a panther mantlet and the mg38 absorbed ALL the shrapnel, making the breech yellow
That tiger really did forget his eyes modification haha 😆
At 6:40 the tiger isnt burning, it's the dead guy behind him that's burning, making the tiger look like its bruning
I'm still surprised by how tiger players made it as far as they did while taking full ammo and not angling or using their brains
I was accused of cheating with this tank by a Tiger II player because he shot my side at an eighty-degree angle and it didn't instantly kill me.
Love how ppl keep whining about Russian bias, but once they actually start playing the tree - it’s always “Hello?! What? How? Whaaaat?! Wait a moment…” etc.
KV-122 is a point and click adventure defined.
This guy is seriously underrated...
This feels more like the IS-2's younger sibling.
10:10 The Pt-76 from the start is nr. 5 on the team here.
"he forgot his eyes modification" lmao.
“P-47 early warning device” thats a crack up
Hey Odd, You should do a video on the U.S.'s M8 HMC. Its a fun little tank in its low rank.

“He forgot his eyes modification” ahahahah
23:06 to be trust this ? Shot the freaking barel away 😂
Love this thing, one of my favourite stalinium throwers
If this good gun but bad reload bothered u
U can play a good gun with fast reload like the object 906 or t34 57 stress removers
7:47 I didn't know Federal made rimfire ammunition for the 122mm.
hey odd, you should take out the xm803 with spookston next
The 122 cannon glitches alot against tigers 1 for some reason
It kills tiger 2 no problem but tiger 1 gives hit alot of times
You can thank volumetric shells for that...
The side sponsons on the Tiger I and Panther are super trolly. I'll take an extra quarter second to aim for the lower hull to avoid the troll job.
The shell for the kv122 is so iffy, it turns on the one shot then turns off the one shot mod
This is my favorite tank thanks for playing it
ah yes, rammign your team mates in some mental rush to exit the spawn ASAP, like you and Phly say, there are enemies in red and enemies in blue.
