KV-1

KV-1

After the T-28, which was considered a medium, infantry tank design, the T-35 became the first of these heavy tanks to enter service with the USSR. This was a true monster, influenced by the multi-turreted fad which came from Great Britain, but was quite complicated and unsatisfactory in operations. A new 1937 specification gave birth to the two T-100s and the unique SMK prototype, showing a new arrangement of firepower, with tandem turrets. All three were tested in operations in Finland during the “Winter War” (September-December 1939). They proved resistant, but showed very poor reliability and mobility. They were also costly, over-complicated and difficult to maintain. Another prototype however, the KV, had been drawn by the same team which designed the SMK, as a single-turreted variant. During these operations, the two KV prototypes outperformed the others and the type was subsequently approved for a 50-unit pre-series under the name of KV-1.

This tank did some crazy things like for example when in lithuania Raiseinai an KV-1 fighted for an entire day agaisnt nazi tanks, long story they ended up dead. This tonk also had frontally 90mm, 75mm on the sides, Making it unpenetrable for almost all german tanks during the first moments of operation barbarossa, it had an F-34 76.2mm cannon which was the same of the T-34 which during a period of time was pretty decent since most german tanks didnt have that much armor yet.

But time passed and germans started making better cannons like the pak-40 and more advanced german tanks made the KV-1 kind of obsolete.
