Much like the American heavy tree update in version 7.2, the Soviet heavy
tree will soon be undergoing changes, including the expansion of the KV
branch. The KV-4 is one of the upcoming tanks, and we're happy to share more
details on it with you.
Development History
In late 1938 a special engineering unit of the Soviet Armed forces, based in
Leningrad (now St. Petersburg), began the development of a heavy one turret
tank. It was named KV (Kliment Voroshilov) after a famed Soviet general.
In fact, KV was not thought out from the scratch: it was a shortened version
of another Soviet tank, SMK, with one turret and a diesel engine. Nikolay
Dukhov was a lead engineer of the project. In September 1939, a prototype
was tested successfully in Kubinka (a town west of Moscow).
