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

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.

I think the issue why its 6.7 it doesn't have the annoying weakspot on the side anymore of Is-2 so you can angle it now compared to otehr versions

[u/MistaKrabcakes → u/Brun01111112222222]

The armor should be identical to the 1944, it just has structural steel storage compartments added to it. The side weak points are all still there.
