The KV is a T5 heavy tank with somewhat ok armor, good hit points, and a good range of guns. It stands out with its second turret, meaning that it can be hit by "sniper rifles", tanks with very accurate guns.
The highest RoF of any of the guns that this tank can employ is 12-15 rounds per minute. However, unless the KV is stock, you will rarely see these guns on the KV. The gun you will probably see more often than not is the 122 mm (RoF 6, max damage 450, accuracy .50), the mighty 152 mm (RoF 2.7, max damage 910, accuracy .60), and the longer 107 (RoF 7.06, max damage 360, accuracy .39).
Its frontal armor is 75 mm, easily penetrated by most guns if not at an angle. The second turret brings the armor up to 95 mm at the front, still easily penetrated by most guns.
Speed is slow in terms of T5 tanks at 34 KPH. Max engine power is at 560 HP, meaning that it is a slow beast when going uphill.
The first turret is not fast, turning at a speed of 25 degrees per second, just faster than the PzIV's second turret. However, the second turret is where it gets really slow: it turns at 15. This is by far the slowest turret in the lower tiers. If you can drive circles around the tank, you should be clear.
More often than not, you will see the 152 on the tank. If you see it shoot, you're in the clear for the next 20 seconds, long enough for most guns to get at least 2 shells off.

I hate the lack of flexibility in this tank. You are either a tin can with an enormously overpowered howitzer, or a big ole medium that they call a heavy :/ However, you can rack up kills pretty quickly, if you're lucky enough, or simply get certain maps. Better on city maps, more cover.

the good way to beat the kv is to get a higher tier tank Or get a PzIV and put a 75L/70 on it. That baby can hit a KV-2's turret from 350m out and can hit the body 400m out.
