Tank description:

The KV-85 is a Soviet tier 6 heavy tank.A further development of the KV-1S tank. Unlike the previous modification, the KV-85 had enhanced armament. The vehicle was developed in the spring of 1943 at the Chelyabinsk Kirov Plant. The tank entered service on August 8, 1943, and was mass produced until September, with a total of 148 vehicles manufactured. The KV-85 was used by the breakthrough armored regiments of the Red Army.Like its predecessor, the KV-1S, the KV-85 is heavy tank that trades armour for speed and maneuverability. The KV-85 is most deadly on the flanks of its opponents, where it can use either a fast firing 100mm S-34 gun with excellent overall DPM, or the high-alpha 122mm D-2-5T gun capable of taking out half a tier VI heavy''s hit points with one hit.The KV-85 marks the end of its Soviet heavy line.
