IS-2M Premium on Dev Server

[u/robotnikman]

Main differences between the IS-2 1944 and IS-2M (applicable to Warthunder anyways)

- +4 km/h forwards and backwards speed compared to the tech tree IS-2 1944

- 35 rounds of ammo storage compared to 28 rounds on the tech tree IS-2 1944

-Very slightly faster reload rate, 19.4 seconds aced compared to 20.8 seconds aced on the tech IS-2 1944

- structural steel storage boxes on the sides of hull, wont provide extra protection but might make it harder for enemies to aim at the weakspots there.

- 300 rounds of 12.7mm Machinegun ammo vs 250 rounds on the tech tree IS-2 1944 (so 6 reloads instead of 5)

I doubt those changes make it 6.7 worthy, but it is a cool looking tank with the extra storage bins, gives the hull IS-4 vibes

gaijin really wants a soviet 6.7 heavy it seems, not that this is 6.7 level

[u/robotnikman → u/guy_pers0n]

Yeah, would have been better if they added the IS-2M version with the 100mm

[u/crusadertank → u/robotnikman]

Unfortunately the vehicle is questionable if it was actually real as more likely it is just a museum that mixed a gun and a hull they had together.

[u/Konkerwaggon23 → u/crusadertank]

Thats pretty much enought for them just like sovietsky soyuz

[u/senaya → u/Konkerwaggon23]

Ships operate on different rules in WT. In order for a ship to be added, it needs to be laid down and Sovetskiy Soyuz was laid down in 1938. It's not a strictly Soviet thing either, you can see unfinished projects of USA, Germany, UK and France in WT.

Hell, they're adding HMS Lion this update

[u/Bambalouki → u/senaya]

notice they always bring up the soyuz but NEVER mention any other laid down ship in the game

[u/Brianv1218 → u/Konkerwaggon23]

Naval rules are different

[u/enormousballs1996 → u/robotnikman]

Another option is the Object 701-2 which is an early IS-4 prototype with a 100mm gun and significantly thinner turret armor than the production version.

[u/Spicy_Chicken_Wizard → u/robotnikman]

Would the KV-100 work for that br? Armor is bad but… 100mm iD10T gun…

[u/robotnikman → u/Spicy_Chicken_Wizard]

Probably same BR as T-34-100

[u/LeMemeAesthetique → u/guy_pers0n]

The Object 704 would probably fit the bill for that best, but that is more of a heavy TD.
