Red Wrench Films recently did a video on the KV series, although it barely touched to KV-220 also known as T-220. for more detailed information you can always read Tank Archives or Tank Encyclopedia articles on it.
Got 16 kills on that thing. And IS-2 is not the same at all. Its faster both forward and backwards, has way more hull armor so it can be player as a heavy/armored medium, while КВ-122 is much more passive and has to act like TD so thats it.
@@KatyushaKitsune I hate trying to bomb Soviet heavies, they always end up with no engine, gun, tracks, breach, turret ring, elevation mechanism and transmission, but the crew is completely fine somehow. Literally every part of the tank is broken, but the crew blinked out of reality at the moment of detonation and then resume existence once the danger is past. Contrast with British heavies where is a bomb lands in the post code 8 time out of 10 they just exit the undamaged vehicle and return to hanger of their own accord.
the tiger barely penned your turret and the explosion hit the turret ring which counts as an internal component so it overpressured you due to the 200g of tnt equvalent in the pzgr shell. at 8:17 something similar happens, but your shell doesnt have enough filler to overpressure. with the pzgr shell that wouldve been a one shot kill.
im not entirely sure but i think that over pressure at 9:33 was because the tigers Pzgr round has enough explosive to over pressure if it pens, and for some reasons the game calculated the hit as a pen.
The game loves doing that, one time I penned a tortoise and one shot it frontally from quite a distance away , using the m4a3 105 sherman’s heat round and the ensuing damage simulation was very wonky, don’t think I was ever supposed to pen him but I did
The tiger opened the tiger pened tho. He went tru the very low front turret plate, wich is 100mm flat. It's such a small spot to hit, and that tiger Player was very lucky
It took the turret ring damage as penetration and insta-killed him. Jumbos get screwed by clown physics like this all the time. Real Pzgr Tiger bullshit hours. My favorites are the 89 degree parallel traveling Soviet shell auto pen kills, because gaijin can't even read Russian.
@@lector-dogmatixsicarii1537 I had an IS-2 fire APHEBC at my American T-34 heavy tank's mantlet from 500 meters (which is some 100mm thicker than what it can even pen, it eats long 88s for breakfast FYI) and it exploded in the mantlet and overpressured my entire crew. I was so dumbfounded I recorded it and saved it as a gif.
@@michigancube4240 The T26E5 experience. Also, the M36 getting completely missed and all you hear is fsssshhhh into cam time. The T34 still has the T29 series missing spall shield, and gets face killed by dong 88's since it only has 203mm because of that. This is an extra 3 inches of armor memory holed. 122's, as per RU usual, overperform to the point it makes these convenient slips so bad. The British comments on their testing methods, and Aberdeen tests, REALLY piss in their cheerios. I have to preempt the "muh Soviet Tiger 2 test" 'proof' by pointing out it was pocked with a multitude of shit to achieve the glacis shatter they got. All you're going to do is activate stage 2 of the boss battle if you hit a T29 in the face. Pusan T-34 experience™ getting clapped by tanks held together by womens panties and tape.
Does anyone else want to watch Spookston play a round of Tank Assault Arcade? Doesn’t matter the tank, I just want to watch him lose his mind at the bullshit bots pull off sometimes
But watching him lose his mind at random b******* is what we all are trying to make him do... why else would we get him to play vehicles that are just pure Pain?
I remember when this thing started to show in matchmaker and I was grinding british tree. I gave up playing the game for half year, because each game there was 10 of those things vs bunch of comets that could turn KV's crew yellow by firing at the weakspots.
Hey Spook, you should play the Semovente 75/46 M43. It's a deeply overshadowed italian tank destroyer which can deliver an heavy punch but it's deeply ignored the potential it has. (Day 35)
Wat? Idk were u saw the unpenable part, it literally has Churchill mk3 armor at 0.3br higher, wich already sucks against German guns and American 75mm at 4.0 Maybe ure a guy who has the most luck in the world and only gets downtiers, there the NA75 is good. Me however, I am the unlucky guy who gets always uptiers, so this thing sucks ass
I really like your animation and especially the sound effect when you show effective armor difference when angling.that moving stone sound is very nice. Also tour kill sound, very nice. And I am stsrting to feel your cas pain because I recently started to play at higher tiers on ground. Man.
It only works well when you get the spaced armor upgrade (which is a tier 3 or 4 modification unlock) otherwise the turret and hull get absolutely destroyed...
Thank you very much for the absolutely hilarious videos Spookston. I'm currently recovering from shoulder surgery so I'm stuck at home. Your videos are a huge factor in me not going completely stir crazy.
was just playing this the other week and despite running into several 76mm shermans within 500m, a T95 doom turtle and several CAS runs i only lost one crewman and got the first survivor award i'd received in over four months. God i love this tank :')
I think it penetrated the outer layer of the mantlet and stopped on the inner layer, causing the overpressure mechanic to behave as if it penetrated normally, however stupid that may be.
The shot at 9:33 is actually possible with the Pzgr. shell in the same angle right under the bottom corner of the mantlet cheeks, it has enough explosive mass to overpressure the tightly packed crew... Cool!
Day 47 of asking for the British QF.7 RAM tank destroyer if you didn’t like the archer this might be a step up (basically a smaller VFW) I know you’ve seen this spookston you have no choice :)
I remember when they had the rush mode of Germany vs. Russia on Novorossiysk (super fun) but it was a living hell the one time we pushed the line and were met with two KV-220's. I never expect them to begin with, and they held that road all game single handedly.
oh god I absolutely adore the Soviet 5.7 premium lineup. The KV-220, the T-V, it just smacks around German teams sooooo hard. Watching this actually inspired me to go replay it and I snagged a 17 kill game first try. 17 kills man, that's just ridiculous.
The Tiger 1s Pzgr and Tiger 2 105s shot are basically just metal shell full of boom with the later being able to overpressure an IS-3 by hitting the mantlet
It's because they break HE every other patch and KV-220 has notoriously buggy volumetric armor that lets it ignore HE rounds that would crack it open like an egg in real life...
hey spook, requesting the Crusader III again. As a reminder, with its high pen, good mobility, stabilizer and outrageous turret traverse make the Crusdader III feels like playing an MBT against 3.0 tanks.
two funny things about the FIRST PART of the video, 1: my friends at school were literally quoting the “i got some jelly beans, you like jelly beans?” thing like two weeks ago 2: i just came here from a TF2 video so the pan soundeffect is well appreciated lmfao
KV-220 my beloved, got that from 2016 event, that thing used to be 5.3, even uptiered, it was absolute menace, bonus combo if you used bushes to hide your massive gun mantlet and cupola
Hey, just watching this video after watching you collab with OddBawz. Loved that vid so much! Hooked on your vids now too. Please make more videos with Odd, you two are such a fun duo to watch!
Dunno if you'll end up seeing this, but since your M8 Armored Car video, I've been thinking about the Daimler car for Britain. In theory, it's basically the same thing but with some tradeoffs. You get a closed roof but no .50cal. You have a much better reverse gear, but you're a bit slower to accelerate. You're very small, but you only have 3 crew members (honestly not a big deal considering the non-existent armor). But a major difference is in the gun: Where the M8 gets a 37mm, the Daimler gets a 40mm with slightly better damage, pen, damage, reload speed, and has access to a lower pen but higher damage APHE shell for weaker targets. I remember using it before they added the APHE shell to the 40mms when the AP had 94mm of pen and I'd use it against T-34s and Shermans at 3.7 lol.
I was a Tiger E on my team. I am the only one capping A. A KV-220 peeks over the horizon. I shoot my 88 to the commanders cupola. No penetration. It's charging at me. I start backing up. I shoot at the frontal plate. No penetration. It's behind me now. I try to angle. I shoot at the barrel. I miss. I'm dead.
I started playing again yesterday (mostly 5.3), played way too many hours... and no downtiers (the best I got a couple of times was 5.7, otherwise just full uptiers). Very fun. 🙃
Go tell your mom happy mother's day

Enemy: why do I hear boss music?
What scarier is if you have a squad of competent kv-220 players together
The KV-122 is another good one thats 5.3 when the IS-2 which is pretty much the same is 6.0
Got 16 kills on that thing. And IS-2 is not the same at all. Its faster both forward and backwards, has way more hull armor so it can be player as a heavy/armored medium, while КВ-122 is much more passive and has to act like TD so thats it.

Hey Spook, you should try the Churchill na75 as it has a sherman gun so no solid shot, and if you angle, it is basically unpennable.
