KV-2

The KV-2 was designed as an infantry support vehicle with the hull and chassis based on the KV-1. The KV-2 was crewed by 6 and armed with a 152mm howitzer. However, the massive box like turret gave the KV-2 a total height of 3.28m which made it an easy target for the German gunners. With it's good armour protection, the KV-2 was impervious to German Anti Tank guns with the exception of the German 88mm. As a result of it's height, most were lost early in the war.
