The front armour is also a huge target to hit, but is helped by a large 72 degree sloped plate that is basically invulnerable to most shots due to its effective thickness and ricochet chances. Not only that, such a penetration can knock out most of the turret crew, crippling the KV-1 (L-11)'s performance in battle.Įven so, the huge side and rear armour is flat, and so an enemy that pounces on the KV-1 (L-11) from these flanks will be able to penetrate if these side plates are not angled to account for the enemy. No compound angling can be done in this case, and so the enemy has the opportunity of penetrating the bare 75 mm of the turret's armour plate. This is extremely bad since to aim the gun, the front face of the turret has to be pointed straight towards the enemy. Unfortunately for most KV-1 (L-11) players, one of the prominent weak points of the tank is the flat front armour on the turret. This means that unless the enemy has a high-velocity anti-tank gun, they will need to deliberately aim for the weak points on the KV-1 (L-11) when facing it from the front. An opponent's saving grace when facing the KV-1 (L-11) is that most of the armour plate are lightly angled, but a compound-angled KV-1 (L-11) can begin boasting an effective plate thickness of more than 100 mm in some areas. An average all-around armour thickness of 75 mm is nothing to slouch at. The KV-1 (L-11)'s armour can be quite intimidating to newcomers meeting it. It's better to prefer short-range engagements, and you must aim for weak spots, but your best weapon is other players, so act like a steel wall and cover other tanks with better guns. In Rank II battles, this tank is tough to penetrate so you can lead the assault and absorb shots that will quickly destroy your lighter and better-armed teammates. It's slow, difficult to manoeuvre and heavily armoured, and mounts the same gun of the T-34 (1940), sharing its awful penetration. The first heavy tank available in the Soviet branch. The KV-1 L-11 is the first unlockable Soviet heavy tank which boasts raw firepower and armour at the cost of mobility. This tank was introduced during the closed beta testing for Ground Forces before Update 1.41. The KV-1 (L-11) is a rank II Soviet heavy tank
