I also made some fire markers from cotton wool balls to place on destroyed tanks. Cars of this type were used primarily in the initial phase the German-Soviet war in 1941, although some of them served until 1945.We have a set of Meng model Tanks we use for Gaming in the club, The rules we use are a stripped down version of Battlefront games “Tanks” rules, we modified the stats cards for easy reference and made our own set of tokens, rulers etc. Despite their powerful armament and armor, the KW-2 vehicles suffered from high faults, especially in the drive train, which effectively reduced their combat value.

For this reason, one can risk a statement that the KW-2 was essentially a self-propelled gun, and not a strictly senso tank. The vehicle was created as a result of the experience of the Winter War (1939-1940), and its main task was to destroy the enemy's fortified resistance points and support their own infantry in the attack, not fight with tanks. The KW-2 vehicle was developed as a development of the KW-1 tank, and its production was the responsibility of the Leningrad Plant named after Kirov. The main armament consisted of a 152mm M-10 gun and three 7.62mm DT machineguns. The drive was provided by a single diesel engine with a power of up to 600 HP. The combat weight of the tank was up to 52 tons.

About 330 vehicles of this type were built during the production process.

The first prototypes of this vehicle were created in 1940, and the car entered service in the same year. The KW-2 is a Soviet heavy tank from the interwar period and the beginning of World War II.
