Now that you've got a lesson which says "faust heavy armor from behind and get proper AT" you can go and be a better player.
Unless you believe feeding grenadiers to IS-2 is a valid strat that is.

Congratulations, now you know how soviets feel against vet2 P4s, panthers and tigers.

Well as i play as USF the most i think i know heavy armor and feeding grens when ur rushing the vp cause they have 10 left and ur going in for all or nothing isnt a bad choice

A fine, dictionary example of it.
IS-2 is meant to be damage sponge from the front, it certainly doesn't have the firepower or mobility of tiger or panther. Its hard to take down, but its easier for panther to penetrate it then it is for jackson to penetrate panther.

I somehow understand the OP in terms of defence. The IS-2 feels like a weaker tiger to me in terms of damage but the armor is brutal. It feels like only 25% of all shots won't bounce.
I wouldn't say its OP as in OMFG relic u are awful this is game breaking, i think it slightly over preforms as the at nade changes which i think were great makes it impossible most of the time to catch an is2 which before if it over extended it would become trapped. However i do think it was also my fault for sticking with p4s as i should have gone panthers. ATM IMO it just a little to tanky to be able to damage the engine as it makes medium armor kinda usless vs it

Honestly, IS2s rapes panther, for some reason they are really easy to fight off. You shouldve build stugs, as you will have advantage in range and reload time. Keep the stugs backed away, keep kiting the IS2 and you shall obtain victory!

IS2 armor is 375/205, better than Tiger's 300/180(by 25%/14%), in exchange Tiger gets 28% higher ROF(5 vs 6.4 avg reload). Quite a fair tradeoff given Axis AT weapon generally have higher penetration values than their counterparts.
Panther pen 260/240/220 or 69/64/59% chance of front pen
Pak 40 pen 210/200/190 or 56/53/51% chance of front pen
Shrek pen 180/170/160 or 48/45/43% chance of front pen
P4 pen 120/110/100 or 32/29/27% chance of front pen
You have to be shooting IS 2 from the front with a P4 all day to feel like only 25% of shots won't bounce.

Technically, 26,(6)%, because reload isn't the only thing that matters with RoF.
IS-2 also has better penetration than the Tiger - from 13,6% up close to 5,(5)% further away.

I think the is2 is now over preforming because it is impossible to kill without panthers or tigers....
I think Tiger, Panther and King Tiger are over performing because it's impossible to kill them without IS or ISU.
Sorry, but what do you expect? Kill IS with Pz4?
Keep in mind that IS turret is very slow so in fact you can kill it with Pz4.
On the other hand it's unlikely to kill Tiger with t34/76.

I don't see anything about an IS-2 change in the changelog. What are we even talking about here that makes the IS-2 "reworked," or are we still calling it that months after it was last changed?
Nothing, because nothing was changed. Both IS-2 and pfaust were changed eons ago.
