The KV-2 (ZiS-6) is available for Golden Eagles and is here to stay!

About this tank

• The KV-2 (ZiS-6)[wiki.warthunder.com] is essentially a KV-2 with a 1940 model turret fitted with a long-barrelled 107 mm ZIS-6 cannon, mounted instead of the 152 mm M-10T howitzer. This newly fitted gun has brilliant armor penetration — combining it with this tank’s decent mobility makes the KV-2 (ZiS-6) in general fun to play when sniping enemies from great distances.
