Joint weakest armor of the Tier VI heavies. Best DPM of all Tier VI heavies with the 85mm. Choice of two guns: a fast-firing 85mm for medium to long range engagements, or a fearsome but inaccurate 122mm howitzer. One of the most mobile of the Tier VI heavies. This tank trades in some of the KV-1's armor for improved mobility, allowing it to spearhead assaults and deal quite a bit of damage with either of its top guns. Starting as the only way to access the IS from the heavy line in 0.7.3, it was then moved down to Tier V and replaced by the KV-85 in 0.9.3, only to once again take its place as one of the Tier VI Soviet heavy tanks in update 1.9, though now without access to the 122mm gun that once made it infamous. The KV-1S has an interesting history in World of Tanks. This tank was widely used on all fronts of the Great Patriotic War. 
A total of 1,083 vehicles of this modification were manufactured. This, coupled with reduced and inefficient armoring, made the new vehicle basically equal to the T-34 in terms of battle performance.
Also, the KV-1S had increased top speed, maneuverability, and durability. Compared to its predecessors, KV-1S had several design features which allowed for the tank’s weight to be reduced to 42.3 tons. It passed into Red Army service on August 20, 1942. A further modification of the KV-1 heavy tank series developed in the summer of 1942.
