TIER V, free auto reloader, constantly giving more ammo without full clip reload, 5 clip, good armor, relative good speed (not slow), not bad gun dispersion either. As free player this is great. Premium, good to train big crew for higher tiers. I understand many who have tons of good tanks not blown away, but for me it was a solid gift. Thank you!
I like German KV-1 more over this KV-1S, it's better armored(even the weakspot on the turret is a rounded 95mm), better dispersion(It's actually superb for a T5 heavy), gun depression is -10, DPM is better as well with only 3s cd.
15:58 tough guy matlida , 1 VS 4 and kill 3 of them , end round make me respect for the enemy team i hope every round i can match teammate like this PZ 5/4
I don't know about that tank. I mean they depopulated Tier v and lower, as all events require tier vi +. This to the additional fact that over the years more and more people grinded through that tier with multiple lines. It used to be a crowded area where lots of freeloaders grinded credits but nowadays it seems quite often a barren wasteland and you are just filler tanks for tier 6/7 games. The pool got further decreased when they removed tier 3 from meeting tier v. I mean... Some probably enjoy it? But t-50-2, superchaffee provides much more usability. So it's pretty much just free credits.
In tanks compare with BIA roload time is 4.2 +6.6+7.5+8.4+10.3 together full clip 37.0 seconds. Armor wise its much weaker tank than T1 or standard KV, a bit lower hp to but with better mobility and clip potential. The main bad part is long interclip reload while bursting. I haven't play it but look I must give it a try. KV-1SA have a potential, especially in coordinated platoon with other heavies or mediums, but not quite to dominate. It's an interesting toy but don't shy in any aspects to make it OP.
It is a solid tank, but not good or bad. Played 2 battles with it and I forgot about it until i saw this video... Last year I got the KV 1 Shielded from lootboxes, compared with that tank, this one is amazing.
I prefer the new German Pz.Kpfw. KW1 over this KV-1SA. I have gone head to head with them and come out on top with the Pz version. I like the armor profile and gun more.
That would of been great fun. This KV-1SA is pointless. The KV-1 with the 85mm has close on 40% better turret armour 110mm compared to 82mm and massive 50% better DPM 2276 to 1564
Skiieeelll!! Please play the jadgpanther 2. U have made a video for the Ferdi, so please make one for Jpanther 2 too. I rebought that tank bec someone advised me to do it. And its surprisingly have been an enjoyable experience so far.
"I'm not looking a gift horse in the mouth", is the correct English phrase, but I like Skill's translation from the Lithuanian, that he's often used :P It's Skillish language.
@@luke_3_113 Wait, does that make it British cause they printed it or German, cause they invented the printing press? Wait, wait... maybe Chinese, cause they invented paper!
@@alexandrupatru2892 I think you can claim all three - especially as English was stealing a lot from French and German at the time - a bastard language with no real rules!! I'm clinging to the fact I was not 'wrong' and that the definitive term is not 'stare a gift horse in the mouth', though a still perfectly acceptable phrase :P Can we all win ?!
I simply cant enjoy this tank... 2,3 sec between shells seems too long for low tier tanks. And the gun handling just doesn't work for me. Apart from that, its nice to recive reward tanks. Greetings from Brazil!!

I agree. A gift is a gift. Its a welcoming gift for a F2P players th
How did you get it for free?
@@albchu It was given to all as a gift if their account is x years old. as the title says "Well deserved reward".
@@albchu Free gift from Wargamming. Been playing since it was in the Beta stages. Got 5 tanks including the KV-1SA.
This, T-34 andT-34 Shielded are my favorite soviet tier 5s for now.
Never look into the gifted horses teeth, my friends.
No, it's very rude to check the age of a gift.
[ 4:55 ] - Oh yes. I love a thick bush!
holy shit, an actually unique and somewhat viable low-tier reward tank??? damn...
t50-2?
@@alexxu3004 I guess it's quite unique in the fact it can roll over like a well trained dog :D

in War Thunder, the gemran KV-1 754 (r) is super overpowered
I wish it was the old KV-1S with the big gun it had.

4:44 Shrubberies are my trade. My name is Skill the Shrubber. I arrange, design, and sell shrubberies.
Ni !
I'd rather have received a KV-2 with the pre-nerf HE mechanics on its shells as the reward. That or the old Bulldog with the 10-shot autoloader.
Nostalgia. That’s what you’re thinking about.
I love this tank with a burning passion

Long inter-clip burst reload???
Y'know what? I like my KV1SA. It often makes me smile.
Thanks for showing how this tank works skill. I plan on trying it out in 2024.
You meant 2023, right?
@@wotaddictglobal no😄
Show us on the Tank where the KV-1SA touched you Skill.
Its ok
You're among friends
When I tried this tank, it performed very well, at close-combat AND at sniping! You just have to be a bit patient while sniping...
It is a solid tank, but not good or bad. Played 2 battles with it and I forgot about it until i saw this video...
Last year I got the KV 1 Shielded from lootboxes, compared with that tank, this one is amazing.
Yes it is a good tank and tons of fun :)
I never seen someone prep for a battle as the second game.. very, very good plan
its the mini IS-3a for the folks that didnt buy
I prefer the new German Pz.Kpfw. KW1 over this KV-1SA. I have gone head to head with them and come out on top with the Pz version. I like the armor profile and gun more.
For what is it a present? I did not read about it nor did I see it somewhere
I was always saying KV-1 double barrel 57mm would have been a better gift, even as a tier VI.
That would of been great fun. This KV-1SA is pointless. The KV-1 with the 85mm has close on 40% better turret armour 110mm compared to 82mm and massive 50% better DPM 2276 to 1564
So glad for a new video
Skiieeelll!! Please play the jadgpanther 2. U have made a video for the Ferdi, so please make one for Jpanther 2 too.

If that's a reward, I cannot imagine what WG considers a punishment, MM aside.
Your awesome dude and awesome video be safe out there
Skieel can you please play with Skoda t25 last time was 1year ago and you said that you liked it
Lol, the t34 in the second battle got mad at you xD
I hate thick bushes a nicely trim bush is so much better
Minek szívod azt a vacakot? :)
I use improved configuration because it's a KV tank
skiiiilll how about wz131 or sherman firefly

I think you will find that checking the teeth of a horse that was given as a gift, to determine it's age, is considered rude in every language.
The phrase is don't stare a gift horse in the mouth.
@@jesusisking8502 The phrase appears in print in English in 1546, as "don't look a given horse in the mouth"

if this tank have 120mm armor nothing can beat it
