KV-4 Kreslavsky - Soviet Tier 8 heavy tank

The KV-4 of Kreslavsky is a rather rare tank in the game, as it was issued only to clan players for certain achievements on global maps. This is a unique vehicle that has a KV-4 base, but with a different turret arrangement. The characteristics of Soviet heavy tanks are also different.

Crew skills

Before pumping perks from the crew, it is necessary to study the strengths and weaknesses of the tank. Recommended skills that need to be upgraded step by step for the crew:

You should be aware that if a tank has 2 crew members with the same specialties, then individual skills will not increase when both are pumped, one will be enough. As for general skills, such as "repair" or "fire fighting", here the coefficient increases when all tankers are upgraded.

Equipment KV-4 Kreslavsky

KV-4 Kreslavsky is a Soviet heavy tank of the 8th level, with tactical and technical characteristics traditional for the Soviet Union. However, there are slight differences in the gun, which has good accuracy and rate of fire. Based on these data, it is recommended to install the following equipment:

1. Rammer. This equipment will improve the already comfortable reloading performance of the gun.
2. Vertical stabilizer. The 107mm gun has good stabilization and this equipment will improve performance.
3. Improved ventilation. All crew characteristics will be improved by 5% ventilation, including poor visibility.

As an alternative, you can install "enlightened optics" instead "improved ventilation". With a pumped crew and installed equipment, the tank will be able to detect vehicles at more than 380 m.

How to play KV-4 Kreslavsky

In many respects, the tank is similar to the KV-4. The appearance is also similar, but the tower has a slightly different shape and location. If the standard KV-4 has a turret located in the center of the hull, then for Kreslavsky it is located almost in the rear of the hull. This allows you to tank with the sides, which is natural for Soviet tanks.

Armor thickness is 125 mm, but at good angles, in addition to increased chances of ricochet, the reduced armor increases, which allows you to tank shells even of 10 levels. The upper frontal part has 180 mm of armor, but due to the unique shapes, the reduced armor is increased. The lower armor plate is usually thin and is considered the most vulnerable point of the tank, so this fact should be taken into account during skirmishes. As for the turret, it is quite strong, although it has 180 mm of armor as standard. The weak point in the commander's hatch, which is of considerable size.

The main advantage of the tank is its 107 mm gun. Average one-time damage 320 HP. far from a record figure, but the advice is quite fast-firing - 1700 units / min. At the same time, the gun has good accuracy, which is not typical for Tier 8 Soviet vehicles. Penetration of the gun can also be attributed to the pluses. 227 mm medium armor penetration allows you to comfortably fight not only with classmates, but also with high levels.

KV-4 Kreslavsky weighs 92 tons, so you can not think about high dynamics. The specific power of 13 hp/t is a fairly good indicator, but maximum speed 30 km / h does not allow you to quickly move around the map and change positions. Chassis speed 20deg/sec. is also not a good indicator, but it should be remembered that this is a heavy Soviet tank with good armor, which is a formidable opponent not only for classmates, but also for vehicles of a higher level.

The viewing radius is rather weak, so by default Kreslovsky's KV-4 can only illuminate vehicles up to 360 m. With the equipment installed and the appropriate crew perks, the council will be able to illuminate the enemy at a distance of more than 380 m, but this is not the indicator that will allow you to comfortably play on the first line without allied light tanks.

Advantages and disadvantages

Conclusion

It's pretty rare to see this premium tank in the game these days. The reason for this is the lack of sales in the premium store, and those players to whom it was issued make up a small number. Many did not like it and exchanged it in trade-in. As soon as these tanks appeared in the game, many random players were simply confused when they met a new opponent, because they didn’t know where to punch him. Over time, the tankers learned all the weaknesses of the council and began to play against them more confidently. But it is worth noting that the tank is quite strong and reliable. It has good side armor, which is a sin not to tank with, as well as a comfortable gun that can regularly damage enemy vehicles of all levels, thanks to 227 mm armor penetration.

As a result, this is an ordinary Soviet heavy tank, which has good armor and an accurate gun, but a weak sight radius and low dynamics. Many do not like the gameplay on Soviet vehicles, so they exchanged it or left it to gather dust in the hangar.
