Tank: USSR KV Series (All Versions)
It is time for our first unloved competition for the new year of 2023. To start it off we selected the Kliment Voroshilov (KV) tank series for the USSR. Being Russia's first mass produced heavy tank with 5,219 units for the KV-1 visions alone, there should be plenty of potential skins out there. You can select from a variety of models: such as the KV-1 (L-11), KV-2 1939, KV-1S, KV-1 (ZiS-5), KV-85, KV-122, KV-2 (ZiS-6), KV-220, KV-1E and KV-2 1940.

This competition will take place on our WT.Live hub. Click here to go there[live.warthunder.com]
