KV-2 (Soviet)

Description

The KV-2 was a development of the KV-1 heavy tank introduced in 1940 and in service until 1945. Essentially a KV-1 with a new turret, the KV-2 had a very large boxy turret mounting a devastating 152mm howitzer. Developed as a breakthrough tank, the new turret added an additional 7 tons to an already incredibly heavy tank and massively increased its height nd silhouette. The increased weight also added further drawbacks – the top speed and ability to cross rough ground was drastically reduced, and the weight of the huge turret meant it could only transverse when level.

Overall, its lacklustre performance and the development of better breakthrough assault vehicles led to only 200 KV2 tanks being produced.
