The IS-2: What do we do with it?

While cool, that would be wicked OP...

IIRC it was changed to 240(?) damage and slower reload once, and it was apparently horrible to play with.

(Nitpicking: the IS-2 uses a 122mm gun. Soviets are weird)

Before talking anything else, first you have to hit. I had an IS2 with 20+ infantry kill counts which was all done by its MG instead of its main gun.
Slow reload is fine if accuracy compensate, but if you miss both, its just a armored DSHK.

240 dmg pretty average dmg output for is-2 to be effective heavy breakthru tank .
320&360 dmg would be ideal with longer reload time would fit more but the main problem of the tanks in this game is the game mechanics. Tanks are stoppable by T0 units in this game. . also infantry is verry effective vs tanks , heavy tanks fuel requirements are too high that tanks arrive to battllefield little late and dont have enough time to vet,

no matter how much relic does buff & nerf , is-2 and other heavy tanks wont be effective as what community expects/hopes. Game mechanis needs a redesign

But on the other way TTK on tanks to inf is pretty big, damage being done mainly by their main gun rather their hull Mgs, wich is the most unlogical thing, unless the tank has HE and is used in a garrisoned building.

Depends on the tank. British tank mgs are horrible, german mgs are decent but they have 3 of them, american mgs are on par with their german counterparts but slightly worse, soviet mgs are excellent but typically only have 2 mgs. With exception of the brits though, tank mgs are actually pretty decent at doing damage to infantry.
The combined mgs on the t34 and upgraded panzer 4 have as much damage output as fully upgraded guard squad at long range, and this only improves as the range shortens.
