K-2 in the current national server client
Hello Elders. After entering 2023, there will still be some tanks that lie quietly in the client, as if forgotten by the WG. S series 8 gold coin heavy Tan K-2 is also one of them, this guy joined the super test in the spring of 2022, but in the same period and even many later tanks have been officially served, K-2 is still in place, we can even see it directly in the client. Through technical means, we found that the car is priced at 10,500 gold coins in the client (because of the underlying logic of the game, any in-game item has a price, for example, even 2D style will have a price of 750 gold). This issue of the article will update its current data for you synchronously, and I briefly evaluate it later.

Spit time
Dukhov won 3 times the Hero of Socialist Labor and 5 times the Stalin Prize
This "K tank" is strictly the grandfather of the IS-4. Its designer was Nikolai Leonidovich Dukhov, although not well known in the Chinese world, Dukhov was no less famous in the Russian-speaking world than Koshkin, Kotin and Morozov in their weapons studies. Dukhov not only worked on tanks, but also on nuclear weapons and missiles, and he was involved in the first Soviet nuclear and hydrogen bomb project, Mikoyan, Chelomey and Korolev were his guests. We often think that the chief designer of the KV-1 is Kotin, but in fact Dukhov is the one who played a major role in the KV-1 and KV-2 projects.
Some people thought it was a K tank, but in fact it was Project 701
"K tank" was a project secretly developed by Dukhov at the Chelyabinsk Kirov plant in the summer of 1943, Dukhov believed that the Red Army needed a heavy tank that surpassed the "Tiger" and could also press Germany in the future, so he secretly designed this tank within the factory scope, secretly codenamed the letter "K", this project was unknown even to Malyshev of the Soviet Tank Industry Committee and the party secretary of Chelyabinsk. In the spring of 1944, the K tank "turned right" into the design of Project 701, and it was only then that its "bright and bright" design began. The K tank itself is extremely secretive, and there is no prototype, so no photos are left, and the "K tank" model promoted by some later generations is actually a model of Project 701.
The selling side is very strong, but the crotch base is only 135
It is not difficult to find that the defense of the K-2 is not an exaggeration to say that it is a level 10 muscle heavy tank, probably WG himself feels that this does not seem very good, so it is shaved in a wave. Previously, the K-2 had a base thickness of 160 mm under the armor plate of the hull, which was later modified to 148 mm, and now it is 135 mm. In this case, the equivalent here is 190 in the positive case, which is quite easy to break through for other level 8 cars. And in the case of the swing angle, it is actually quite hard:
The modified crotch is actually quite hard, but there is indeed a gap from before
176 If you find a good angle to hit the right, you can wear it
After modification, if the K-2 is at a pendulum angle, this head is still quite stiff. I personally feel that weakening the crotch of the K-2 is a normal modification, but with the previous data weakening, the K-2 has nothing but defense and survivability. Its DPM, penetration and maneuver suppress its upper limit, which is a "cancer car" that drives out to make the enemy miserable. And the scalp of the K-2 is only 30 mm in the middle, the scalp on both sides is 45 mm, and there is a small hatch, in the case that the current national BZ-176 has completed mass production... Maybe for the tech-176 player, the K-2 will be quite a headache, like the Mammoth, but for the technically good BZ-176 player, the K-2 may just be a somewhat hard piece of beef jerky.
Scalp with 30 in the middle and 45 on both sides
According to the current data of the K-2, the advantages and disadvantages of the car are as follows:
- After the weakening, the HP volume is still strong, not to mention the accessories and modifications
- The defense is extremely strong, except for the crotch, small hatch and small scalp, the tank is really "all-round defense"
- The -6° depression angle is a loss for the current version, and basically can only enter the city and the flat ground meat bo
- Poor maneuverability / dexterity, true mammoth maneuver
- The S series is traditionally blind, and this new 340 meters has been blinded to the extreme fast
- The silver coin bullet pierced at a low depth, and it was already outdated on the heavy tan line
- Single-shot damage doesn't have the advantage of 252U, DPM is lower, and error tolerance is low
- After cutting three expansions, the gun control is also ugly, pure toothless tiger
Considering that there is no gain from anti-damage so far, the K-2 is a true inner roll pioneer, there is no benefit in driving out, even if the opposite side of the gold bullet is difficult to gnaw it, in the future, let the opposite side of the insanity car can also add a one. And it has been modified to look like this, it is estimated that it was sent away, but it is not possible.
