If IS-2 gets a health buff and it's old main gun back (with buffed MG but nerfed AOE), then we'll talk!

Twin t-34s can kill every german tank in the game....is-2 can't..they are also faster and can self repair.The effect of 2 t-34s on infantry is equal or better than 1 is-2.t-34/85s also far less vulnerable to both tiger and elfant..the 2 german lategame tank than is-2 which will lose to both against elfant due to speed and tiger due to ROF.
T-34/85 can swarm tiger and with mark target dispatch it...and can use its speed to flank elefants well too.
That leaves panther which is rarely used.This is one area is-2 shines..but because panther is seldom used it doesn't count for much.
The other german tank is pz 4...both kill it equally easy.But against is-2 pz 4 has speed to run away..against t-34/85 it can't and will be hunted down.
On top it comes with a doctrine that has self repair and mark target..some of the most useful armor abilities in the game.
Finally its 9 cp to 11cp.
11CP usually means u have to build a building to get there..9 cp u can scrape to.
Obvious choice - double t-34/85

T34-85s. They arrive faster, you can spread them out, it can chase infantry and with micro it can take out heavier tanks which the IS2 will have difficulty on.
If you are a more defensive player you would prefer an IS2. Do some peek a boo and try to wipe some squads. IS2 is far more reliable on taking out Paks on less shots if ground fire on the center of it.

@OP
Because I dont like using a nerfed Tiger.

I'm ok with tiger AI nerf..but if tiger gets worse than it is in AT deptmt then its hopeless.Its already nothing worldbeating in AT dept..good but not remotely OP in tank killing.Especially vulnerable to mediums.
Agreed. AT is fine on the Tiger. AI is batshit crazy especially for an Ost tank. But TBH I dont really care that it kills scripts and such its how good it is at hard countering multiple Zis.

Without Mark vehicle id rather have IS2 and then cal the t34s in later,if we're talking armored assault.

not to mention more dps from twice the guns and t34/85 has decent AI too.

I think all the heavy tanks should be shaped/balanced as IS-2. Heavy to receive some damage, stronger than any other tier tank but not that strong to wipe enemy infantry or tanks.
I would balance Tiger/ISU-152 and Elephant like that tank.
