The KV-1S had thinner armor than its predecessor, so these comments make sense (not much difference in armor protection between a KV-1S and a T-34/76 to the 75 mm PAK40). <br /><br />Was the KV-1S in service in the summer of 1942? I thought it entered more in the end of the year, and its development was because of the sluggishness, unreliability, and lack of operational mobility of the uparmored KV-1s, which sometimes exceeded 50 tons.Stewart Millenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01261690405884935161noreply@blogger.com
