Editing KV-3 (section)

==IRL==
If you think the KV-3 is just a [[KV]]-1 with more armor and a bigger gun, then you're exactly right. Soon after the KV went into production, the Soviets wanted to upgrade it to have more armor and better guns, which was a daunting task given how even the KV-1's already heavy armor was limiting its viability. 

Work began in 1941 and multiple prototypes were made under different designations (T-150, T-220, etc.), and with different armaments. The Flames of War version of the KV-3 represents the culmination of those efforts, being essentially a KV-1 upgraded to be longer, harder, and armed with a heavy 107mm field-gun. It was just a prototype, however, with only a few of each type being built as proof-of-concepts (and some being sent to the front because they were there), and the entire project would be scrapped in favor of lighter, quicker, and more reliable designs.
