KV-2 is one of most powerful tanks in War Thunder, and few people can still survive to a single shot from this beast. The following is a list of variou KV-2 player you could encounter in War Thunder. Additionally, in this guide, we will also show you how to make the most of KV-2 to kill your enemies easily in the game.

Consistantly dies to Jumbos, M6A1, and anything heavy
 
The Soldat:

The most common KV2 to encounter
Covered with Russian markings they cannot understand
Uses APCBC,fights smart in close quarters
Gets 3-4 kills before moving on to another vehicle

The Sneek Breeki

The 2nd and rarest form of KV-2
Covered in bushes,like it helps and camps in the back
Uses AC,picks off tanks from 500-1500 meters
Enjoy forest and open maps,but will die anywhere else
Their only true enemy is the M22Locust and other KV-2s

The Memelord:

Only a few of them still exist
Coverd with markings similar to that of which they had on their own tank during the Chechen War
Uses HE, usually kills the entire server in the first shot
Locked at 8.7 by Gaijin, to stop underexperienced players from facing them
 
One deciding factor that makes this KV-2 so powerful is the gun, yes of course the silly design as well but the fact that it one shots all tanks at its tier is what made it that popular. So of course the only thing you're really gonna need on that thing is the gun right? in short (again) Yes. Yes it is. Unfortunately.

The AC shells vs The HE shells
 
Since the HE has become so much more unreliable with the recent additions to the tier of the KV 2 and some changes to the way HE works in the KV 2, this has lead to the changeover from mainly HE to mainly AC. Because AC is much more reliable at destroying your enemy (especially against the British, since they've got tanks like the Churchill and others). There's also an APCBC round, it gets an increase in penetration but suffers from a lower shell velocity, (which only makes matters worse considering you're firing a short barreled 152mm Howitzer) because of that the shell becomes much more harder to hit than the AC shell, use the APCBC when something absolutely, surely, definitely needs to die.
 
As I mentioned before The HE shells are Better. but that's not always the case, As an example the Tiger is much more armored as a regular medium tank. The HE can't get through the armor of the heavy tank, so in this case AC is recommended, it can penetrate the heavy armor easily and destroy the tank or cause a fire. but against medium tanks, light tanks and SPGs The HE is More effective
 
Combat tips
 
First, go for body shots (with exceptions of heavily armoured targets). If you do this there is an extremly likely chance that one of two things will happen, either A. Crew gets knocked out, or B. Ammorack (refer to the end of the guide)
 
Secondly, always have team-mates nearby to hopefully, hopefully, back you up while you reload (you can never be sure). The worst thing you want is for to be shooting and have someone rush you right after you shoot someone else.
