Historically it should roflstomp the Tiger 1 in every department, in Coh2 thats another story.
Almost every, the Tiger I still has rate of fire and accuracy.

Except utterly nonconsequential stuff such as ROF, practical accuracy, situational awareness, etc, etc.. You know factors that determine more than anything who gets in the usually decisive first hit in armoured combat. Seriously, why do so many people here feel the need to comment on things they understand so little about?
In fact, in Coh2, the IS-2 - at present - does "Roflstomp" the Tiger in just about every department, save for vet ability and AI lethality, and there, the Tigers edge is none too great either.

Beyond 100m the IS-2 is pretty much impervious to 88mm Kwk 36 APCBC
Meanwhile IS-2 can feast on Tiger 1 from 1500m

Pretty sure the tiger I could not penetrate the 44 model of the IS2, which is what the IS-2 in game is.

Lower front hull armour of the IS-2 (all models) amounted to 100 mm at 30 degrees, which was under serious threat even by the much more pedestrian KwK L/48...
Not to mention that in the literature, you'll find literally a plethora of armour configurations for the IS-2, apparently different batches/production runs had often severely downgraded armour from the nominal values.
The Germans tested at least one captured IS-2 extensively at Kummersdorf and were not exceedingly worried, I'll see if I can dig this up.
That said, there is no doubt that the IS-2 was an exceedingly well protected vehicle, as it had to be in its primary role.

There is only one thing that concerns me about Tiger Ace.
Shoot + TWP (separate cooldown with standard shooting) + Shoot combo
Which is dead Jackson for example. Without any chance to get away.
TWP should be on same cooldown as basic main gun shots.
Not only it penetrates, it gives you one extra shot on target. But with this feature (bug?) it gives you two extra shots.
