Al entrar los soviéticos en la Guerra de Invierno los prototipos fueron enviados a ser probados en condiciones de combate. La coraza del KV demostró ser la más efectiva contra las armas antitanque finlandesas. Rápidamente se envió el KV a producción, tanto el modelo original armado con el cañón de 76,2 mm y conocido como tanque pesado KV-1, como el armado con el obús de 152 mm y conocido como tanque de artillería pesado KV-2. Al iniciarse la Operación Barbarroja, el Ejército Rojo estaba equipado con 508 tanques KV. La gran baza del KV-1 era su gran blindaje, tanto frontal, como lateral, que le confería la resistencia necesaria para aguantar los proyectiles de 37 mm y 50 mm alemanes. Sólo el cañón de 88 mm alemán o sus variantes como el 88 mm Flak 18 Selbstfahrlafette Auf Zugkraftwagen de 12 t eran capaces de ponerlo fuera de combate a distancias normales de combate y eran muy escasos en 1941. Durante el 23 y 24 de junio de 1941, un solo KV-2 fue capaz de inmovilizar el avance de la Sexta División Panzer en la cabeza de puente del río Dubissa en Lituania, retrasando el avance sobre Leningrado. Los rusos denominaban a este tanque, el Mata-alemanes.
Las 45 toneladas del KV sobrepasaban el peso de la mayoría de los tanques de su época y doblaba el peso del más pesado de los tanques alemanes. Las ventajas del KV eran una armadura impenetrable por ninguna arma montada sobre otro tanque, a menos que fuera disparada a quemarropa a distancias por debajo de los 100 m y por los laterales, una buena potencia de fuego, y una buena flotabilidad en terrenos blandos. Sus desventajas eran su lentitud y poca maniobrabilidad, una transmisión pésima, poca visibilidad y una pobre ergonomía. A finales de 1942 los alemanes disponían de un creciente número de cañones antitanque PaK 40, capaces de perforar la armadura del KV-1 con lo que la principal ventaja que tenía con respecto al T-34 desapareció. A pesar de que el cañón de 76 mm que montaba era adecuado, era el mismo que montaba el T-34, más pequeño, rápido, barato y fácil de construir que el KV-1. Las ventajas respecto al T-34 eran un poco más de blindaje, pero al poder ser penetrado a grandes distancias por los cañones largos de 75 mm y no aportar nada diferente al T-34, se decidió finalmente apartarlo de producción y concentrarse en la producción de este último.
Los oficiales soviéticos se quejaban del mal estado en el que volvían sus KV a los talleres de reparaciones, pues aunque el grueso blindaje los protegía de la mayoría de los cañones enemigos, el número de impactos en la torre y la barcaza de los KV daba la impresión de que los habían maltratado. Algunas fotos muestran más de 30 impactos que no penetraron en las torres, llegando en algunas ocasiones a más 2301 impactos en todo el tanque según informes alemanes. Los cañones de 88 mm antiaéreos eran los más efectivos contra estos tanques, pero la escasez de ellos ayudó a que el KV fuera un buen tanque hasta la llegada de los cañones largos de 75 mm equipados con proyectiles de punta de wolframio perforante.
Un problema compartido con la mayoría de tanques de la época era la falta de municiones. En 1941, la falta de proyectiles perforantes estaba muy extendida, dando problemas a la hora hacer frente a carros inferiores en armamento y protección. Fácilmente se podrían haber conseguido numerosas victorias parciales por los soviéticos si hubieran dispuesto de unas tripulaciones entrenadas y proyectiles adecuados a las circunstancias.

    Guy, dont tell me anything about tanks. I know more then you, belife me ^^

    The T-34-85 still couldnt penetrate the Tiger over 500 meters or 550 yards. The Tiger could destroy a T-34-85 easily over 1500 meters...

    Beside that, the KV-1 and KV-2 werent used just for deffense purpose, they were used to support the infantery against MG or bunkers...etc. blabla.

    KV-2 was used mostly for bunker busting with its mighty 152 mm "hell tube". By that time Germans only had VK panzer series, with thinner hull. KV-1 was designated as defense tank. That's when Germans produced Tiger, which was superior over KV by speed, hull and powerful gun.

    So cannot tell which tank is better. It depends what you use it for and where. KV-2 was used to fight tanks, but it was not practical one.

    well first of all - KV-1 and KV-2 were built in the first part of war, when Tiger didn't come in production till 1944-1945. KV series was mostly used for DEFENSE due to its powerful hull, and deadly gun. KV-2 had menacing cannon 152mm caliber. However it was not suitable for attack. T-34-76 were the main attack tank. By that time Tiger came out- T-34-76 been no match. Then in 1945 soviets started to produce T34-85 (meaning 85mm caliber gun) This could pen Tiger.

    Unfortunately everyone just love to say bad stuff at USSR and how communist and evil we are and how we want to occupy entire world. But the matter that we did not murder captured soldiers, we fed and rebuilt towns and cities after the war - not many realize that.

    What about a simple look at the numbers? After 10 years working in USSR, the 2/3 of Nazi-prisoners returned home to Germany. And as you can imagine a lot of them were captured already injured and in a bad physical condition, so 2/3 is a very good number for 10 years working in Siberia. And how many Soviet POWs survived the Nazi prison camps? Anyway, if the Russians were as civilized as the Germans were, no Germans would exist today.
