What is the purpose for soviet IS2 ?

[-= Sk1F =-]

Well the question stands for itself. I mean it costs so much, but doesnt give you enough for the price. Maybe just remove ir from the game lol.
Or maybe there I just dont know how to use it?

It's a tank, you drive over and through things.

It is soviet most beefy tank that can fight both tank and inf . It is just another Kv1 that at least have a chance to pen panther frontally .

It's basically soviet version of the panther. Does 160 damage like the T34 and SU85 but has better penetration and armor/ health. More of a 1v1s and 2v2s tank imo.

ISU-152 is the designated 4v4s tank. It's basically a huge SU85 but can switch between brummbar shells that shoot in a straight line and AT shells, doing 240 damage

Basically a tiger that's better against infantry and worse against vehicles.

To give the axis massive CP and XP - Also massive ressources when they
extract ressources from it. - All without having had a single kill.

I don't think a tiger has worse anti infantry capability than IS2 Lol It literally wipes out infantry very easily.

I never really liked the IS2 in this game. The ISU 152 was junk also before they un nerfed it so it functions like a proper TD which is what it was irl

It works better in 1v1. It has great armor.

My only con is the long, long reload. Otherwise two T34-85 are way better.

Also cheaper, you can sacrifice one to ram a panther or tiger then call in B4 boom.

Bro, IS-2 was not mighty as the Soviets claimed. 88cm and 75mm AT can rekt it easily in real history. IS-2 seems to be strong because they were released in the late of the war, around 1944 Apr. It could defense 88cm shell from 1.5km, but the accuracy of the IS-2 cannon was ♥♥♥♥ over 1km. Therefore IS-2's armor and firepower could not take the edge when they combat with Tiger I/2, panther, and even many Sturmgeschütz and AT.

It was great when it came out.
240 damage with great AOE, and great armor. But slowww reload speed.
The initial shot came nicely enough, though.
Apparently the rationale was it was too punishing to it's dps when it missed?
Also it wiped infantry squads too easily and german players complained, so...

Nerfed hard.

drive over tank traps xD
