@@cyansphere3394 ahh yes the truely balanced tanks, two fairly easy to kill tanks are the only thing that can counter a completely broken tank if left alone. normal russian main thinking right there.
@@Thekilleroftanks These days I am playing French 3.7 since I finished grinding USSR long ago. I destroyed a lot of these guys who over confident with their armor. I got it myself yet I see no good with these clumsy thing
Wish I could sell this thing, beyond this event it’s gonna get played less than once a month, what a letdown, this is the first dreams come true event I’ve been able to play and compared to the strumtiger and tog this is a complete zero
Naaaah better than tog and more fun than sturmtiger in my opnion, though it isnt as iconic. Honestly I would rather have the sturmtinger than this, but having both the kv 7 is kore fun to play just because of the insane reload of the sturmtiger
I played it quite a bit tonight. It is just "Ok". Just like he showed, it can struggle at times even with something like SPAA. Even when APHE does fuse. Overall, guns OK, but super easy to kill it. Uptiers are absolutely a struggle. Not to mention it is slow.
Kv-7 is 4.0 and the Pz4 F2 is 3.3 and it's cannon can go through the kv7 like its nothing. There are a lot of things that can destroy the kv7 from the front so no, its not heavily armored, it's more like meh. The firepower is good tho, 2 45mm every 3/4 secs is nasty
but if you angle it, even panzer 4 are going to struggle to pen it. You need to bait a shot while angling and then kill the enemy. This thing is like the tiger, if you dont angle, its armor is useless, but if you angle it, it becomes pretty hard to kill
Lol took a few days off from War Thunder and realized now I missed a mark of distinction but unlike some of the earlier event vehicles like this you can't miss a single one smh
Jeez people, look at what you're writing about this tank. You have the people who get uptiered against it who call it op, and the people who play it and get uptiered to 4.7/5.0 who call it weaksauce, don't hate the tank, its the matchmaking that sucks. Its so long overdue that Mr.Snail reduce the matchmaking to 2 BR ranges rather than 4. Remove full up and downtiers.
Looking forward to getting this one I'm hoping to use bushes to cover up the 2 45's hoping to use the 76 as a distraction against lighter tanks but if it goes to 4.7 its amour will be most useless, and the guns will suffer alot anyway great vid as usual!
Funny... I was fighting at 3.3 last night and was getting SWARMED by these things. Nothing I had (Britain 3.3) could kill these things... It was horrifying... LOL
I'd say 4.3 max! Any higher and its gonna be another premium i never gonna touch ever again (like that German DD the T31 witch is identical to its tech-tree sister yet has a higher BR for no reason) I mean its not even equal than the KV-1 (Zis-5), or to the new Swedish KV! Aso why would i want to pick this over the KV-1E (almost same gun BTW), so 4.0 is reasonable. At least its not BP main reward...
Want my is-7 last time Just get the hull and I miss some parts I hope to get it now lets see if I have luck on it ... since never got nothing on ur give out 😂
KV-7 is at a Great tank...I mean it has good mobility like other kv, Good armour...Plus it angled...so try to wiggle or angle it when enemy try to shoot you and the weak cannon is being compensated with an extra cannon(not 1 but 2* 45mm(Fast reload)) good as a gun barrel killer...You guys should be grateful sitting at a good BR range...I mean if you say it should be at the lower br because it is armor it is not thick...have you thought about tiger E the armour of 100mm flat at 6.0br...or maybe thought about Churchill MK Vii...the only good side it has is armour...while it got bad cannon and bad mobility for it BR range especially when in uptier that involves in huge map a.k.a sniping map...
yes, believe a prototype existed and may have been sent to the front lines. cant remember if it was this version or the other kv7 that has twin 76 guns
@@General_kenobi12 Tiger 2 105, Panther II, Ho Ri Prototype/Production, Coelian, E100 turret, Tiger II SLA16, etc. unfortunately didn't exist. Coelian had a wooden mockup turret on a Panther hull but that was it. Ho Ri had a wooden mockup as well.
Something should be at 3.3 were put at 4.0, sad. There is a reason why Soviet mass produce SU-152 (KV-14) and ISU series instead of this sad pile of metal
so it can curb stomp more people? the fuck with russian mains atm and wanting even more broken shit, are they that bad they need american main treatment from gaijin
@@flappy3635 SU-152 could blow off infantry, crack down fortification and knock out Germany heavys relatively easy, while KV-7 would struggle with anything heavier than a Panzer IV. I would say this is the decisive advantage. Also, multi-cannon cause problems when commanding
Anything more than 4.0 will kill it
to weak to go 4.7 too strong to go 3.3 perfectly balanced to get KV-1E treatment
yes. the amount of urban lasertag maps are gonna break it's knees too. it is very easy to kill from the side.
Nah, M10 and Pz.IV F2 can remove it with ease

No one forced you to get it. You could have simply ignored it.

Skill issue get better
Most people are bitching because they can't/don't play tank-destroyers. It's seems to have everything you need at only Br 4.0.
T14; finally a worthy opponent. T14 is only .7 higher
Kv-7 is 4.0 and the Pz4 F2 is 3.3 and it's cannon can go through the kv7 like its nothing. There are a lot of things that can destroy the kv7 from the front so no, its not heavily armored, it's more like meh. The firepower is good tho, 2 45mm every 3/4 secs is nasty
Very good point! I think my perspective while playing was skewed by the VERY few times that I was actually shot at by an enemy with a capable cannon.
but if you angle it, even panzer 4 are going to struggle to pen it. You need to bait a shot while angling and then kill the enemy. This thing is like the tiger, if you dont angle, its armor is useless, but if you angle it, it becomes pretty hard to kill
Theres some big weakspots when angled, like the M6A1@@kaiahnig
@@kaiahnigIt's a casemate vehicle and it's slow, it can not angle much
Everyone knows F2 is op, though I say this thing should be 3.7, enough guns easily pen, and even 2.7 tank destroyers will do fine.
Ill finish it tommorrow . Funny looking thing.
Can't wait for the kv-7 spam
Looking forward to all the downtiers my crocodile will have
5:51 > "I am dead"
Man is underestimating the power of Russian bias
If the KV-1E can sit at 4.0 so can this
This is like a casemate kv1e lol. The diference is Dat the spots where the 25mm don't overlap with the 75mm plates are much bigger in this one
ya besides the fact everyone and their mother who isnt a dirty kv1e/kv1b main believe the kv1e/b both need to be moved upto 4.3
Great video man,
Love this tank and even got it for myself
I watched this thing take 20ish rounds to the face
I was almost underneath it with a Pak puma and my shells just bounced 😑
simply shoot somewhere flat. That’s all you need to do. It nothings flat, hit the port, track it, or even hit the gun shield to disable the breeches.

my favorite tank in the game was the SU-122 at 2.3... wondering if this will be a worthy alternative?

t-34 stz next pls? 🥺
Is it good? No, however, it’s funny and I like that.
It’s very good
Is it worth buying this for 2.8k GE?
@@Daniel-wj9rz If you're a collector, yes. They're probably never bringing this vehicle back

Tiger E has a turret, so it can angle its hull while still aiming at the enemy
23:30 bro sez "GET IT" after event is already over lol
did this tank ever existed?
yes, believe a prototype existed and may have been sent to the front lines. cant remember if it was this version or the other kv7 that has twin 76 guns
All vehicles in the game have existed at one point or another
i dont like when they fill the game with "tanks on paper"...if there was a build prototype then its fine
@@General_kenobi12 Tiger 2 105, Panther II, Ho Ri Prototype/Production, Coelian, E100 turret, Tiger II SLA16, etc. unfortunately didn't exist. Coelian had a wooden mockup turret on a Panther hull but that was it. Ho Ri had a wooden mockup as well.
100mm armor not sufficent he says on 4.0 he says... the that to the Tiger players on 6.0!
advicr: use the heat for the 76 mm and the aphe for the 45, that way you will have one cannon gor light vehicles and 2 for regular
Something should be at 3.3 were put at 4.0, sad. There is a reason why Soviet mass produce SU-152 (KV-14) and ISU series instead of this sad pile of metal
