M1 KVT - Abrams In Disguise!

Interested in purchasing something from the War Thunder Store? You can use this link and get a 3% discount on your next purchase:

The M1 KVT is a premium tank that was released in the recent patch. This 10.3 Abrams is dressed up like a T-72 for military exercises to be used on the OPFOR faction. You will find this tank in-game under the U.S. Tech Tree. This was the most I have had at this battle rating in a long time and I hope you enjoy the video!

How do you feel about the VISMOD/OPFOR Abrams being added to the game?

i'm loving the mini lore explanations for new vehicles you're doing recently, that 2 minute segment really helps picture the scene and i'd love to see it in more videos!!

The thing that's really wild about Krasnovia (AKA the Democratic People's Republic of Krasnovia) is that it's not only an OPFOR stand-in, it actually has evolving lore. Like when Krasnovia was invented before the fall of the Soviet Union, it was a unified communist country representing a peer-to-peer military threat. Then when the Soviet Union fell, Krasnovia fell apart and became a bunch of warring states akin to the break up of the former Yugoslavia, and each separate one can be used as a stand-in as I understand it for any kind of mix-and-match post-Soviet hoedown the Army comes up with.

And that's not all, either. There's stuff about the neighboring Kingdom of Parumphia and their longstanding enemy, the Republic of the Mojave, and an entire plotline about stopping the alliance of Krasnovia and Parumphia against raiding the Republic for uranium to construct WMDs.

I'm not gonna lie, coming up with these scenarios sounds like being a multi-billion dollar Dungeon Master, and the players are using Abrams tanks instead of six inch pewter statuettes of wizards.

Stick- What country are we in
Bo- Krasnovia
Stick- He’s not good Fate

That had me laughing.

[revengehunter]

That small laugh after "Krasnovia has intelligence?" Got me good lol

[jordanhawks]

I loved the history behind this tank bo, if they do this kinda thing again I would love a explanation in that same style again

[WalletWorrier]

"Glory to Krasnovia" should definitely be an in-game title included in the KVT pack

Fun fact: Radiator damage got remodeled- if it's destroyed, the engine will gradually end up getting damage in turn until it too goes dead and red or the radiator gets repaired.

thank you for explaining the back story of this tank, I feel like people are just ranting about this tank saying its "fake" or other stuff like that, when in reality its just a target practice tank for the US and that's all it it.

Another video full of skill, luck, and panicked call outs of dubious value. Fantastic entertainment. Keep it up!

The chaos that started at 5:51 is nothing compared to what I experienced yesterday. I was playing in conquest Tunisa with the city as the capture point and it felt like everybody was in a light tank so we were all flying around the city and it was just a constant rumble of artillery landing and tanks firing. I have never had that experience before and I couldn't stop laughing. Just imagine what Bo and crew were dealing with but times 3.

I hope they would add in a few more vismod vehicles preferably functional ones especially older ones like Sheridan based ones. There was a few that were modified to look like Russian tanks and also armored personnel carriers so it'd be interesting maybe an event Vehicles if it's more limited number and everyone has the opportunity to get it

[JamesErath]

Bo, just want to say I appreciate your little vehicle explanations that you do; it's nice to hear your thoughts on the vehicle as well as getting to watch the gameplay.

[bullwinkle]

In the old days (circa 1973) the Opfor was known as the circle triag (symbol was a triangle inside a circle) And a funny attachment to infantry helmets

[bradfordbroswtent.]

The ''M'' in M22, stands for Morale, so if you get an M22 on your team, that automatically gets you an extra 22 morale points to anyone on your team, or whoever is nearest to that little tonka tank.

[A-brrrrrrrt]

Keep up the good work I’ve been watching since 2016 and you never seem to disappoint

[fazsum]

I gotta say Bo i am loving these little info tid bits you have been doing in these vids.

[skittlesjones]

Interesting mini lore explanation of the tank. Also good stuff as always Bo ❤

[compliantcorgi]

Loved the info about this Abrams Bo, i never knew the US made this version.

Been to NTC three times as a Bradley driver, gunner, and commander. Some good times out there!
