KV-1 was flawed because it used the same gun as the T-34, although at the time an impressive gun, and it was more expensive to produce.

These were a nasty surprise for the Wehrmacht. I read one account where a single KV1 held up at least a battalion if not an entire panzer regiment for hours. They eventually were able to take it out after it got dark with infantry and satchel charges.
