They also gave it slightly less health and more firepower, among other things:
From the changelog thread, post #7
Worth noting too is that the tiger rear armor went up, as Endeav said. I think the buffs more than make up for the increased rear armor though, especially since they decreased the tiger's front armor. Despite that, the IS-2 is still a crappy tank for the gigantic amount of resources you invest into it.
and this is the only patch introducing the "crew shock" effect in this game, and the video clearly shows the "crew shock", that means this video is valid.
the other patch just change the scatter of those tanks. |
Doesnt mean it may not be bugged.
Depends where the shot trajectory is projected from.
If its from the end of the barrel, it may be hitting the front armor, rather than the rear, due to the two units overlapping
Can you stop being such an asshole?
sry, I'm gonna quote your post again:
ARE YOU FUCKING BLIND?
The shell explodes in Tiger's rear
Can you stop being such an asshole?
In terms of "Arschloch" , you were the only one insulting others in this post |

or double the damage output of the PTRS and make it one rifle per squad?
The US rifleman used to have 3 BAR per squad, but relic changed it to 2 BAR per squad but keeps the DPS output were roughly the same, these makes the squad drop weapons less likely |
Nice.
OT: IIRC they changed the tank stats after the 4th of July (the date the video was posted), I think this vid is no longer accurate.
they only change the scatter |
@Endeav: Is it possible the IS2 is infact hitting the Tigers front armor, due to how jammed together they are?
ARE YOU FUCKING BLIND?
The shoot explodes at it's rear

Oh thank you tech-guy! Now splash damage assumption: False |
Perhaps with them jammed together like that, the IS2 is actually hitting the Tigers front armor due to hitbox or something.
Edited: Aah, good point Cyridius. The IS2s splash damaging itself would also account for this result.
splash damage? shall I bring this up again?

notice: there's shock effect in this vedio, which means recent heavy meta chance

I don't think that I want to understand your "expert" game mechanics,so splash damage at point blank range doesn't affect the Tiger pretty much...and it was shooting the rear,the point of this whole thread being that the Tigers "ass" can win against an IS-2 head-on and as I was saying IS-2 is more expensive,weaker...and useless
that's why I haven't see nor use a JS-2 for like 2 months, besides their command tree is pretty crappy |
ARE YOU FUCKING BLIND?
WATCH WHERE THE IS2's BARREL OPENING IS!
AT THE FUCKING PLACE WHERE THE FUCKING TIGERS FRONT ARMOR IS!
You are blind, shell is bouncing off/explode at its rear. |
^ This.
May have been hitting front armor, since that is where the barrel was located.
you haven't even check the video yet didn't you |
