is-2 also was a tank that if realism be taken into account loses head on vs the panther because its gun can't penetrate panther's frontal armor while panther can.And it lacks speed to flank panther.So short of an ambush it usually lost to panther..but thats not how its portrayed ingame is it?
IS-2s could punch throught the glacis of the panther no problem. However, it depends on what the IS-2 uses.
With AP uncapped rounds can't punch throught the frontal glacis of the panther at all.
Now lets take a look APBC rounds.
Punches throught a panther no problems at all.
SORRY FOR HORRIBLY MURDERING THIS THREAD IN A HORRIBLE HORRIBLY HORRIBLE TERRIBLE MANNER.
P.S Please don't tell me that calculator thing is bullshit because it says that the t-34/85 can punch through the frontal turret of the panther at 1000m, while cannot defeat the hull at all.
This explains everything - Rounded mantlets - Currently the calculator does not take the effect of a rounded manlet into consideration as hits may occur at very favorable angles (0) or very unfavourable angles (60+), it is planned to allow users to input a favorable or unfavourable hits at some point
