Why are Russian tanks so UNDERPOWERED ?!
Hi, i want ask why are Russian tanks so downpowered, i am not talking about medium lane, thats good, but whole TDs are S*it, and heavys too, i mean IS-2 1944 vs TIGER II H has no chance to do because Tiger has great speed,gun, armour, when IS-2 has only speed, the gun is useless when you reload 27 sec and Tiger one shot you. So what do you think of it ?

IS-2-44 can fight tiger II, it isn't balanced but it can. the TD line is basically glass-canons, but the advantage is that the canon has a lower BR...

Russian bias is a excuse for idiot wheraboos who dont want to learn how to aim at weak points, and therefor yell bias at anything that can stand a fighting chance against their paper 2s.

The IS-2 mod.44 is pretty outclassed by the Tiger II H, you're right. What do you think of lowering the T-44-100 to 6.7? I don't see how it'd upset gameplay as the Panther II is down there, and it'd add a much needed non-premium to the 6.7 USSR line.

Is2, is3, is4m those heavys you have to use them as sniper tanks, or advance slowly that is the way to use them, due to their slow reload rate.
With both is2s i have a good service record, their fire power is enouf to kill any tank in this game, aslong you dont rush to the front with them, plus you have good reverse speed to get back to cover as soon you fire.

I play a lot with is-2 mod 44 and that gun is powerfull when get trough armor. but lower penetration value than german 88... and yea armor on is-2 is garbage. I really dont know is that supose to be like that. I mean on 122mm gun.

Idk about you, but the IS-2 with the post war shells is just fine. Can't remember the full name, but they are the D shell used in the IS-2 Revenge and the Second IS-2 model (I don't play Russians much at all). In most cases I found myself doing better in my IS-2 R then the T29 or Tiger II SLA. If you really want to talk about power problems, get the T-44-122. Have fun not being able to take 1 shot or bounce while having the same reload as an IS-2 at 6.7.

You want problems? Play the super pershing, aka the heavy tank that forgot to heavy tank.

Post-war shell is BR-471D

Thanks, forgot to mention the T-44-122 doesn't even get the BR-471D so good luck with Tiger IIs.
