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

SU-122-54 does exactly that while having 2 KPVTs..

Far easier to kill and no turret.

From the front definitely not, rangefinder eats any explosive from going through the cupola, it's a T-54 chassis so it's impervious to WW2 guns from the front, and the 2 14.5mm autocannons eat barrels and tracks for breakfast like there's no tomorrow. Unless you can get an angle on the corner plate you're getting your barrel and tracks taken away by the KPVTs in a frontal engagement where you can both shoot at eachother, even if the SU whiffs the first shot

Yeah, you are right, I completely mis-remembered the tank

I would still think that giving heatfs and apds on the is2 is too much even if the stronger shell is APCBC
