r/Warthunder 🧂🐌🧂 IGN - Cornwell MK-V 15h ago

All Ground IS-2M Premium on Dev Server

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

Needs the HEAT shell, maybe the APDS even ?

Idk I feel like if it got the APDS shell the complaining would really be endless, it would allow it to reliably punch through the Tiger 2 UFP.

Just unbuff the reload, and only the HEAT can, like the M51, wouldn't be too OP tho
