Soviet tank - KV-1S

Dakiras: What I personally found was that the KV-1 was a very easy tank to play, and in its MM tier, it's fairly forgiving. Sure, you're in a tank that most of the experience players know how to junk easily, but really it's still very forgiving. You can train up the KV-1 - or the 1S crew in side the 1 - to get 6th Sense and then move over at a later time. It's a much easier way of training the crew since an untrained KV-1S crew and the lower gun is going to hurt at first.. but then each to their own. I know not everyone wants to spend gold on retraining crew so you'll have a longer grind to get to the point where retraining with credits doesn't drop you below the first skill.   As for the gun, it's the essential thing for a 1S. You rarely see people playing without it. It'll also discipline you to shoot and then stay safe while reloading. :P A lot of people know how to turn the KV-1S into smoldering wrecks, so bear that in mind.
