Draschel:  Lot of 1 vs 1 tournament maps, are ensk or himmelsdorf, to which camo means nothing and brawls mean everything. Even prokhorovka the map is placed in easily defendable town to which hill can't counter unless you trample everything prior to, which takes time and will likely have you running into him and that won't work either. Good luck shooting all the buildings down, bound to get spotted spamming shots and even a KV1 will spot you that close. Everyone doing these tournaments often, has like 4 skill crews. Fact of the matter is, IV/V is an excellent well rounded tank for pub random battle and team tournaments, but folds in a short-ranged 1 vs 1 with a heavy tank. A panzer IV/V won't be running HP hardening, while heavy tanks WILL be. The only conjecture here is you two, you haven't provided any proof whatsoever. KV is 49.2T while panzer is 40.6, armor difference only 10mm do you know the HE damage you are going to sustain trying that? And in doing so you are susceptible to its DPM, and it isn't so susceptible to your lower DPM.  o)  680 HP vs 910 HPo)  110 damage every 2.99s, vs 85 every 1.98o)  8 shots to kill 680 HP and 9 shots kill HP boost, 9 shots kill HP boost KVo)  16 s to kill panzer, 23 seconds to kill KVo)  2,833 DPM vs 2,220 DPM. o)  bad gun handling on KV equaled out by rate of fire and excellent muzzle velocity.o)  panzer can't afford to miss or bounce one shot, APCR is slower than KV  APo)  KV has loads of >70 ricochet angles frontally, panzer is easy pen vs 189mm APCRo)  KV suffers fuel line fire far less than panzer getting damaged engine frontallyo)  with slight angling 5-10% just about 25% of KV front cross section is purple ricochet on 158 pen APCR rollyour aim doesn't mean anything if RNG throws your shot into ricochet zone, you can't afford 1 missed shot KV demolishes panzer in 1vs1 brawl. And any smart player is going to exploit it in close range tournamentsChurchill I decreases the DPM to 2,805 but has 110 alpha. And 1,000 HPRamming either is suicide, as they are essentially your weight or more with your front armour, and puts you in their murderous DPMBut sure, keep on talking. Talk is cheap. Anyone can say stuff. But to break it down from experience, that is different. I don't have a churchill I or KV with a giga-skill crew, as I don't play low tier anymore. But others do, as its their mainstay source of gold.I've tried it a few times with little success with my own panzer which i bought from 2019 BM, and the lesson is clear.
