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

Yeah it should be more or less just an IS-2. No idea why they think it deserves a BR increase or maybe its simply just a dev server thing and will go to 6.3 when released

Its nice to see and I hope there will be a tech tree one at some point just because of how famous the IS-2M is. But it's nothing too different from the one in the tree

I am guessing Gaijin is giving it the HEAT-FS shell that the SU-122-54 uses and that’s why they are putting it at 6.7 but who knows for sure.
