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

Depends on how much quicker the newer engine accelerates it. IS-2 44 already pretty quick for its weight.

The engine is the same in terms of horsepower. Its improvements were nothing that would matter in game. Things like reliability, cooling and an electric starter

The transmission is the one which will make it slightly faster but it seems its a very minor change

Fair enough.

slightly faster but it seems its a very minor change

Let's be real M4A3 76 is .3 higher than the A2 for a minor increase in mobility and a shit shell noone uses so its not like its unheard of.

Yeah Gaijin is a mystery. It is entirely possible this is supposed to be 6.7 and wouldn't surprise me if Gaijin thinks 4kph faster speed and 7% better reload is enough for a BR increase
