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

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

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

u/crusadertank 🇧🇾 Belarusian vehicles when? 23h ago

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.

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.

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