KV-1S
The KV-1S is another noob-friendly Soviet Heavy tank in World of Tanks that newer players should consider trying. The only way to unlock the KV-1S is by unlocking the KV-1 first, so if you were planning to follow our previous suggestion, then the KV-1S might be the next logical step depending on your personal preferences.
The KV-1S is a U.S.S.R. Tier 5 Heavy tank that leads to the IS lines on the Soviet tech tree. The KV-1S differs from its KV-1 counterpart by exchanging strong armor for better mobility. If the sluggish speed of the KV-1’s got you down, then consider heading towards the IS line via the KV-1S instead.
What the KV-1S lacks in armor, it makes up for in speed, penetration, and rate of fire. If you prefer the mobility of Medium tanks, then the KV-1S will be right up your alley. Use this Heavy tank to put pressure on enemies and support your allies with flank attacks as needed. If the KV-1 doesn’t convince a newer player get on board with Heavy tanks, maybe the KV-1S will.
