Relic when you finally buff IS-2?

This tank is absolute nonsense for more than a year. He is not worth his price.
- Ridiculous damage against tanks, if only ....
- You will get, because the IS-2 is an extremely inaccurate gun
- Slow
- Slow turn of the turret
- Absolutely useless first level of vet.

Yes, he feels a little better if he gets a second level of vet, but most likely the IS-2 will be destroyed before he does it

It is enough to increase the damage and make it more accurate

IS-2 paired with Su-85 or 76 is a fucking beast. The tank is not the Shock one we knew from the past, honestly its main gun sucks. But boy, that armor. Every German player has played at least a few games where he fought an IS-2 and every shot simply bounced for 5-10 times in a row. Be it a PaK or a Tiger.

I honestly think of it as some kind of invincible, I never really think that I can kill it when I see it when playing as Axis.

In this and last weekend I tried to play with IS-2 - not a single rebound, all shots pierced the IS-2. Once I had three consecutive rebeces - it was the blessing of the gods

Or, just fix the Stug and OKW repairs, and the IS-2 will be alright.

This will not cancel that the IS-2 gun is very bad. He needs to increase the damage and accuracy, maybe a little penetration. The speed of the turn of the tower must remain slow.

When you can no longer rely on 90FU Stugs to be the best AT unit in the game vs all targets, the IS-2 will force the OST player to make an actual investment for their late-game AT. That leaves a huge-ass gaping hole for the IS-2 to exploit.

Or, when, as OKW you can combat blitz to safely and get insta-glue repairs, no amount of damage caused by the IS-2 can ever be meaningful; the IS-2 will just spend half the time repairing, while OKW armour will keep marauding.

In both cases (assuming that the underlying causes are fixed), it's fine that the IS-2 can be soft-countered by AT guns. It's the KT performance vs AT guns that is broken; it shouldn't be the norm.

Same here, in my experience IS-2 armor is unreliable as fuck and when Axis invest in proper AT like Stug or Jadgpanzer IS-2 gets rekted really fast.

Same could be said for the King Tiger with a pair of Jagpanzers, but the King Tiger has a valid gun and turret... I played a 2vs2 with a random soviet yesterday and I have been the first surprised when he told me he will soon have a IS-2, have been months seen I saw one on a game.

It feels good where it is right now.

It's all good, but the IS-2 will continue to miss the tanks / infantry, don't penetrate, don't deal damage (yesterday, Brumbar inflicted more damage on the IS-2 than I did in response)
