Why do you attack AI tanik with infantry?
Are you going against elephants with SU-85 as well?
The IS-2 is Anti-Infantry and Anti-Tank, FYI.

I play both factions. IS-2 is crap. Panthers eat it for breakfast. If you are fielding infantry against it, OTOH, you just brought a knife to a gunfight.

You said Panthers, so I assume you mean more than one. Lets say 2 Panthers. 2 Panthers are dedicated Anti-Tank, and cost almost as much as an IS-2, which is dual Anti-Tank / Anti-Infantry. Even so, the IS-2's gun is as effective as a Panther on Tanks, and a Sturmpanzer on Infantry, the trade-off is the slow rate-of-fire. I would hope that 2 dedicated Anti-Tank's can kill one breakthrough Tank.
Alternatively, yes, a single Panther can kill a single IS-2 from the front, but that's just RNG. A T-34/76 can beat a Panzer IV from the front as well, and is even more likely to have success with this than a Panther vs IS-2 is.

Actually with a Panther you can micro in such a way that the IS2 is constantly stuck with Turret traverse as your drive around it getting hit after hit in as it helplessly lumbers backwards to try and get away from the Panther thats on it like a bee hive.
This will net you a kill with a Panther vs an IS2 1v1. Otherwise I dont know a Panther and a single faust hit? A Panther and a single Shrek hit. A panther and a single Pak hit. A panther and a Stug. A panther and a Brummbar. A Panther and a P4 a Panther and an Ostruppen squad and and and....

Also a single Tiger thats cheaper..

Losing IS2 to a single panther is really a L2P issue.

i didnt say any about losing it to a single p5,i said a p5 will give it a run for it money meaning is2 will roll away with low with health in a 1v1, even tho of the massive price difference.
maybe its a L2R issue

Oh come on, the IS-2 isn't that much slower than the Panther Tank. Yeah, the Panther will beat it in a drag, but that's besides the point. The IS-2 is the fastest heavy tank in the game.

It's in a fragile place right now, you can't buff anything without nerfing something else on it to balance it. It's a powerful tool for those who can use it.
