| Notes | The KV-2 (Kliment Voroshilov) was a heavy assault tank that was based on the chassis of the KV-1. It mounted a large 152mm howitzer in a large box like turret and this gave it the honour of having the largest gun ever mounted on a tank. It was a beast of a vehicle and had many issues, including slow turret traverse and slow speed. It was extremely well armoured and initially developed to lead armoured attacks. It was only produced in small numbers and many were lost to mechanical failure rather than enemy fire. |
