Vehicle Description

The well-armored and durable KV-5 heavy tank presents a threat to almost any same-tier enemy vehicle. With the largest number of hit points of its tier, it is easy to survive numerous hits, while the gun with a high rate of fire leaves no chance for unlucky enemies in close combat.

Historical Reference

Development began in June 1941 at the Leningrad Kirov Plant and was completed by August, but plans were interrupted due to the complicated situation on the front. The KV-5 was to utilize some components of the KV-1. A new turret was designed, incorporating the 107-mm ZIS-6 gun. Two roadwheels and a single support roller were to be added on each side. A new 1,200 h.p. diesel engine was being developed for the vehicle, however it was not completed in time and was replaced with two V-2K engines.
