KV-4 Turchaninov – Premium HT Level 8 USSR in WoT
The KV-4 Turchaninov (USSR, HT-8, premium) was released the day before yesterday for the WoT supertest.
Unlike the RU region, this tank does not have unnecessary mechanics because it is a regular tank from the KV family. The characteristics and appearance are before you, though the specifics of its use are still unknown.
Historical Background
The project for this vehicle emerged in the spring of 1941 as part of a competition to create a heavy tank. However, it was not developed further and remained in blueprints.
- Crew of 6 people: Commander, Gunner, Driver, Radio Operator, Loader, Loader.
- Role in battle: Heavy assault tank.
- Category of special equipment: Survivability.
The KV-4 Turchaninov, a Tier VIII Soviet heavy tank, stands out from other tanks in the KV-4 series due to its gun, which is optimized for close combat. It features excellent stabilization, 300 HP of damage per shot, and a reload time of 8.1 seconds, resulting in high DPM. However, the gun has mediocre accuracy, so this tank doesn’t suit the role of a sniper.
Another advantage of this vehicle is its armored turret, which lacks pronounced vulnerable zones, making it effective to play in a hull-down position. In other respects, the tank fulfills the role of an assault heavy tank: it has a high HP value of 1,650 and good hull armor, but poor dynamic characteristics, with a top speed of 30 km/h and a reverse speed of 12 km/h.
