I call BS on this. IS2 has superb armour. I tried to counter an IS2 with double raketen because I went p4 instead of Panther. Raketens have 40% chance to pen and P4 like 30%. It did not end well. I couldn't faust him to stop him diving for my p4 because the first 6 shots bounced.
I had a moment of bad luck - but you don't see me claiming the IS2 is invulnerable?
In any case, IS2 has much higher armour than Tiger, and I personally like the IS2 far more than the Tiger.
But I think the reason why people always hate on the IS2 is that the Tiger actually comes together with useful Commanders, while most of the good Soviet commanders don't have IS2.
The other reason is that they only play one side and need to find an explanation for why they keep getting beaten. People who keep claiming a faction is OP should try actually playing it - then we could have a more rational discussion.
Wait wait wait, you mean people should this rationally? People should.. put on the other shoe?
This is asking far too much, haven't you see any political debate? I'm always right, and my side needs it!
+1 I play ALL factions. I overwhelmingly play allies lately because I'd rather get a game fast than wait.. and I really enjoyed the "flank shit " to win feeling that the allies had. Anytime I swapped to germans I got a bit bored...
Not saying allies are better or germans are boring. But in my opinion, I enjoy feeling like an underdog and pulling that win out! ... I also find the myth of how amazing german units and armor to be so overdone in video games that I'd rather see how other factions managed to defeat this titanic war machine. After all, that's why we're all still here
