Could anyone help summarize what's changed in the last few versions? Not sure If I should start over or keep playing from where I left off previously.

Everything is fine except that waiting for everyone to descend is just a huge waste of time

Hello Phcas:

Thanks for sharing so beautifully detailed icons...
May be this is information about the KV-1 family is useful to you before releasing the definitive versions of the icons with the new mod update.

The letter designators as well as the model year ones were applied by the Germans, the Soviets called KV-1 to just them all and applied the new modification into the manufacturing lines as long as the new components were available. After all, for the comrade Stalin and his cronies, the tanks were just disposable (as well as their crewmen, of course). The Germans, being more methodical, noted the progressive changes and gave those variants different designations.

The only exceptions from the Soviet side, were The KV-1E (Ekranami = Up-armored, and the KV-1S which had a lighter and smaller cast turret and traded some protection for better mobility.

About the "mainstream variants" the important and visible changes were the following:

KV-1 model 1939: as the F-32 7,62 mm gun was still not available, this variant has a shorter L-11 gun of the same caliber, which was noticeably shorter. Also as it mounted the gun compensator over the barrel, the gun tube was mounted lower in the turret.

KV-1 model 1940 (A): This variant already mounted the longer F-32 gun.

KV-1E: up-armored model. Nearly all of this variant were made from refurbished model 1939 tanks, which were also up-gunned with the longer F-32 gun.
In the attached picture, you can see the four models (39, 40, 41, 42) in descending order, with the KV-1E below. The KV-1S is not depicted.

KV-1 model 1941 (B): The model 1941 was designed and produced at Chelyabinsk. A model F-34 gun was fitted. This was the same gun installed on most T-34/76s. As a response to the field-expedient appliqué armor, the hull, sides and turret were protected by an additional 25 to 35 mm of extra armor, and the turret was now cast instead of welded. It was slow to arrive at the front, and the first model 1941 became operational in early to mid-1942 at best.

KV-1 model 1942 (C): The model 1942 was essentially a late up-armored model (10-15 mm), either with a cast or welded turret. This was also the biggest production of the type, with around 1700 units. They were also all armed with the still longer 76.2 mm (3 in) ZiS-5 and sometimes equipped with AA mounts.

The KV-1S, the fast one: The main criticism about the weight imposed a completely revised version with somewhat “downgraded armor”, in order to regain some agility. In fact, this was not an equal sacrifice. Some vital parts, determined after carefully studied statistics about tank loss reports, were still well protected, while sacrificing others. This was a near “all-or-nothing” protection, which also came with special tactical maneuver instructions in order to reduce the exposure of these “weak spots” to the enemy. However, the engine was untouched.
Another improvement concerned the cast turret, which was redesigned completely, lower, smaller, with slightly sloped sides and, most importantly for the first time, fitted with a real commander cupola bearing all-around vision blocks, which in turn greatly improved the overall vision and efficiency of the commander.

Thanks for the information. So 1940 = A, 1941 = B,1942 = C, what will 1939 be? also A or just 1939?

KV-1 1939 shorter and lower main gun

Hello Phcas: Just model 1939, in my opinion... Or at least, neither tanks-encyclopedia, nor Wikipedia mention any German designation for this model. It was probably that by the time the Germans invaded in mid 1941 the KV-1 model 1939 was no longer in front lines service, or may be they remained son few of this variant that the Germans failed to note its presence on the battlefield ("normal" service attrition may have contributed to this also), because of that, it did not receive a German designation. Only 140 or so tanks of this model were manufactured, promptly replaced by the model 1940 in the production lines. Besides, but I suspect this started to happen after the German invasion, they were retro-fitted with additional armor and the longer F-32 gun to make the KV-1E variant. It is logical to suppose that may be the Germans randomly found some (if any) of KV-1 model 1939 tanks by mid/late 1941.

PS: For your icons update, please note the three different gun barrel lengths of each model: short L-11 for the m1939, medium length F-32/F-34 guns for models 1940 and 1941, and the longest Zis-5 gun for the m1942. Besides, this last was the only variant with an AA machine gun mount present in some of the tanks of this model.

Hi!

It is a good question, I hope yes with the prestige setup depends on the acquired territory and appearing divisions\ships\planes on the map

Back in 1936, the Polish-made Lux-Torpedo railway express, equipped with two six-cylinder diesel engines, ran between Lviv and Kolomyia at a speed of 120 km per hour. The capacity of the express was 52 passengers
Lux-Torpedo — the history of a high-speed rail bus

Unfortunately, the Second World War was the end of these railway bus express trains. Most of the "torpedoes" were killed by aerial bombs, only two cars survived at the Krakow railway station. They were used as trains "Only for Germans" on the line in Zakopane, as well as as special transport for employees of the General Government. Around 1954, both "luxury torpedoes" were scrapped and have not survived to our time.

Will this be OK Guille?

Hello Phcas:

I would shorten all the barrels a little. Looking at the profiles I uploaded, for example, the gun barrels of the models 1940 and 1941 end just in line with the front mudguards. Then, the L-11 gun is shorter and the Zis-5 used by the model 1942 is a little longer, protruding a little further beyond the front track wheel.
