Thinning out the armour from 75 to 60 mm made it vulnerable to PaK 38 even from the front, while before it was almost invulnerable from the front and side. In some sections it is more vulnerable than T-34. Cupola has no hatch. Surprisingly in some/many aspects from mobility, KV-1S is better. Mainly in off road performance thanks to better gearbox and totaly superior tracks. But this also pay for his succesor.
