Quick question on the KV-1s. I grinded to the D-2-5T on the KV-3 but decided to switch over to the 1s and I'm really glad I made that decision. Anyway, I just got the turret and the new gun, but I'm not sure what rounds to load in it. It's awesome with AP ammo, but it still gets deflected once in awhile, and I don't feel like it's worth from the long reload time and it being significantly more expensive than HE ammo. That being said, AP ammo is still a bit more reliable in damage. I feel like HE on a 122, but since it's a long gun...I dunno.

175mm of penetration is pretty op for tier 6 tank(not TD); it lets kv-1s raep every other Tier 6 and maybe even tier 7 if player properly.
If you have 100% crew; AP all the way(maybe 5 round of HE because shooting 21k per round is already very excessive).

It works as a more accurate derp gun, but...it does feel like a waste of potential especially if you know exactly where to aim on every tank and it has even lower RoF than mini-derp.

^ This. 175 penetration is more than adequate for tier 6, especially on a heavy as nimble as the KV-1S. Additionally, as you will be stuck with 175 penetration with the IS as well, getting used to it now will help you learn what you can penetrate and where.
