When the Soviets entered the Winter War, the SMK, KV and a third design, the T-100, were sent to be tested in combat conditions. The heavy armour of the KV proved highly resistant to Finnish anti-tank weapons, making it more effective than the other designs. It was soon put into production, both as the original 76-mm-armed KV-1 Heavy Tank and the 152 mm howitzer-mounting assault gun, the KV-2 Heavy Artillery Tank.
The 45-ton KV outweighed most other tanks of the era, being about twice as heavy as the heaviest contemporary German tanks. The KV's strengths included armor that was impenetrable by any tank-mounted weapon then in service except at point-blank range, good firepower, and good traction on soft ground. It also had serious flaws: it was very slow and difficult to steer, the transmission was unreliable, and the ergonomics were poor, with limited visibility and no turret basket. Furthermore its weight tended to strain smaller bridges. As improvements were made, no thought was put into upgrading the engine, making it slower as more armor was added.
This is the latest 2009 version of the VsTank Pro, featuring the German Pz.754(r).
The 2009 VsTank Pro features a completely new control and battle system to provide continuous movement and 3D battling functions, never seen before in 1/24 scale RC tanks.
The VsTank Pro battle tanks are high quality models, and Just one look, I’m sure that you will agree that even when not in use the VsTank Pro makes a great static display model which is sure to be a talking point for anyone who sees it.
The VsTank Pro Airsoft Battle tanks are Great fun. They incoporate lights and sounds to enhance the experience of your RC battles. These Tanks have an airsoft system that could shoot BB bullets up to 25m (82 ft).
Requires 6 AA batteries for the transmitter and 8 AA batteries for the tank. Bands are randomly chosen but we will not ship two tanks with the same bands unless unavailable.
