well they're probably removing it cause it's the last tank that cost 7.500 so 30euros isn't enough for WG anymore... after this all players which want to have Premium tank will have to pay 40 or more euros
pretty simple

in 0.7.5 WG introduce Super Pershing that cost only 7200. So your reasoning is wrong.

I think it's being removed because this tank variation when driven by skilled players vs. unskilled players is SO huge, that WG can't even balance it properly.
Give it a buff for the noobs and the skilled players will OWN with this tank, keep it as is and it has among the lowest win rates on the server and noobs are dying like flies playing the KV-5.
This will push up the sales of the IS-6 which is MUCH more noob friendly.

No it's not, Pershing is a medium tank for 7200, the KV-5 is a heavy for 7500, heavies cost 10K+ now didn't you notice? They are losing out on 2500+ gold which they DO get for the IS-6 and the likes.

Obvious scheme of WG:
-KV-5 gets buffed in 0.7.5
-Players considering to buy a KV-5 think "now is the perfect time"
-KV-5 is only available before 0.7.5
-Players considering to buy a KV-5 think "OMGFASTFASTIHAVETOSPENDMONEYONTHIS"
-WG earns ****loads of money (with a useless tank), just as planned
Just like the "We noticed the Löwe is too cheap, we'll give you some weeks to buy it now anyway"-scheme..
(Price was raised from 7500 to 12500, back in 2011)
Of course theres also the new premiums you can buy after the KV-5 is gone (he'll be back someday for sure) and I've seen some people that actually seem to collect all premiums (or at least T8 premiums) for some reason, so those guys also spend their money now.
What else can I say? I won't miss the 200 battles KV-5 players in my team, now there are 200 battle IS-6/löwe/JT 8.8/SuperPershing players in it. Same **** different tank..
Of course I also won't miss them in the enemy team, killing clueless noobs is always fun, but killing clueless noobs in KV-5 is just too easy.
On another note, I feel sad for all the new players who have to spend 16€ more to get insulted since KV-5 was the cheapest of all T8 prems (for a reason).

KV-5 was enourmously overpowered!!!
Players start complaining and talking about how they suffered major emotional trauma as wolfpack of KV-5s brutally destroyed almost complete enemy team in first 5 minutes.
OP speed, low profile and small weakspots made them hard to hit, their guns penetrated every shot....WoT with KV-5s soon began to be unplayable. This tank is so easy to drive that games were swarmed with them, they were even used in Clan Wars and tournaments - group of KV5s could easily stop and ram to death every force they were opposed with.
Finally Wargaming listened to the demands and laments of the community a made a rational decision with detailed explanation which will for sure improve general gameplay on many levels.
