Best medium (mods feel free to rename)
The KV-1S is much closer to true medium than any other heavy tank in the game.
The KV-1S can also circle and flank tanks, if it has to. The KV-1S also thrives in a peek a boom situation.
Any situation you could stick a medium in, the KV-1S will perform on par or under par (better) with other true mediums. The only medium it can't fight one-on-one at tier 6 is the Cromwell if the Cromwell driver is smart.
Source? This sub.
I regularly run into mindboggling stuff being said on this sub, and while it's true that everyone, even the best unicums (This week: t-43 should be played as pseudo-heavy) have some strange opinions on this game I'm astounded by the things I see here which rival the official forums.
It's problematic especially since I thought that the average person here would be more intelligent than the mouth breathers and stat deniers over there.
As a new player I relied a lot on the wiki and forums for advice, and only now am I painfully aware of the hundreds of games I played in sub-par tanks, trying to make them work because a plethora of idiots championed a particular tank.
It's true that objective information on the game is hard to define, but as a resource that new players are constantly looking to, is there a way somehow that we can ensure more accurate information is spread in this sub?
Ie not M3 Lee and Chi Ri are great tanks if you play them well because misinformation like that particularly hurts new players.
Oh. And for those who want to argue about the Lee.
