When you fire big calibre arty, sometimes you don't need direct hit. I had few events, when KV tanks were destroyed by 105mm guns firing directly, WITHOUT direct hit. I don't use Z (indirect fire) against tanks. I'm firing directly, hoping to have some luck ;)).
Some tactics against KV's.
50mm PAK is able to pierce KV's frontal armour from 10 hexes. Much more than 10 hexes when firing at side or rear armour.
When you have 88, it's piece of cake. You can destroy KV from every range and direction.
When there is no 88....., use every equipement available. Even PzKpw-II is useful. KV's have low rate of fire and low accuracy. Suppress them with PzKpw-II and III (with 37mm). Sometimes you will get KV immobilized. Then use OB arty, mortars, planes. If KV is still "alive", then move close with PzKpw-III with 50mm guns. They heve 1 or 2 APCR rounds. USE THEM WISELY, when you have predicted accuracy more than 80%. Best shot into rear armour, but with APCR you can destroy KV even from front.
BTW, once I destroyed KV-II from....... PzKpw-II. YES!!. It was in Dubno scenario. PzKpw-II was firing from one hex, and it pierced KV-II's front armor with APCR round. :)))))
