Following a successful offensive by Soviet troops in January 1944, the Soviets made it possible to push the Wehrmacht 70-100 km from Leningrad, ensuring a complete lifting of the blockade and safety from artillery strikes. On January 27th, the lifting of the siege of Leningrad was announced to the entire world, and in honor of this event, a celebratory fireworks display was held.

The KV-2 (ZiS-6) is available for Golden Eagles and is here to stay!

About this tank

• The KV-2 (ZiS-6) is essentially a KV-2 with a 1940 model turret fitted with a long-barrelled 107 mm ZIS-6 cannon, mounted instead of the 152 mm M-10T howitzer. This newly fitted gun has brilliant armor penetration — combining it with this tank’s decent mobility makes the KV-2 (ZiS-6) in general fun to play when sniping enemies from great distances.
