Aaaaaaaand here you go



It shows really great what are advantages of each tank, and how use it to make most use of them.

Actually, you've only shown that you should pray to RNGesus, because statistically, Tiger Ace should win against vet3 IS-2 at any range. And the TA has the biggest edge at long range (which in your video it lost).

it's not pure RNG. It's about distance. TA should not win at any range. It won 3/10 fights so...
It;s very simple. If you have vet 3 IS-2 and see Tiger Ace, keep it at 30-40.

So I wonder why TA killed IS only 3 times out of 10.

Because small sample size is flawed? Try performing the test a bit more times, like at least 100 (though preferably more).

Also, from a purely stat point of view, it doesn't make any sense that IS-2 wins with TA more at long range - after all, IS-2 loses more of it's penetrating power at longer ranges than the TA.
TA has 180 pen at long range vs 220 at short. That's ~22% more pen at short range than long.
IS-2 has 190 pen at long range vs 250 at short. That's ~31% more pen at short range than long.
As it shows, IS-2 gains more from closing in.

Im mobile, I dont have numbers in front of me, but Tiger has 43% chance to penetrate, IS has 65%. Thats the key.
