IS2 can 1 shot entire german squads
That's annoying when it happens, but it doesn't happen too often.
... a tiger will take 2 minutes to kill a conscript squad.
No it takes less than that, no where near a is2, but takes much less than that.
The IS2 is a far far better anti inf tank and its AT capability is almost on par with the tiger and its armor is superior too (many a time tiger's shots are deflected)
It depends on the armor its facing, the IS2 is great against panzer 4, but week against tiger.
The issue here in this thread is not the IS2 which is now balanced but the fact that the tiger has the same range as a panzer 4 and just slightly better at anti infantry.
maybe the range can be increased to compensate for the speed reduction
The majority of neutral players agree that the tiger needs a small buff in the anti infantry and range department.
I don't think much, maybe indirectly, in the fact that ram should never work against it from the front and AT grnades should not be so random, damaging the engine from the first hit or deflecting 6 times in a row.
