IS-6 the most OP tank. Can't penetrate front or sides.

I shot an IS-6 with a Jaghpanther, but the shot bounced. The entry shot was 78 degrees to the front and then made a 90 degree bounce!

OP tank. I penetrated the side, but it done minimal damage!

Only HESH/APDS can deal damage up front or you need a +120mm gun for AP

[GeneralGeldenhuys]

But it doesn't explain the fact the shot penetration for 60 degree is 180mm. I shot at a 78 degree entry, it is suppose to enter the tank. Seems the tank has Stalinium once again.

And every damn soviet spawn with the IS-6. If people spawn so many IS-6's then it means only 1 thing, they perform extremely well.

Look at your ricochet chance at said angle, surely stands around 50%

Ok, so, this is another example of the issues with shell stat display. Where it lists the 90° 60° and 30° does not mean the angle of armor itself (so where it says 60° armor, does not mean against armor angled at 60°), but essentially means attacking a flat plate with your shell comming in at a 60° angle. When it comes to something like an IS-6, you need to look at the 30° angle of attack value more. It's one of the worst ways (in my view) to display penetration stats for angled armor.

This may be more about angling tank armor, but for the first 4 minutes 10 seconds, he explains what I am trying to say in a bit of a better way.

I penetrated a IS-6 from the side with a jagdpanther.

He saw me and as he turned his tank i shot the part connecting the shoulder plates and the actual side armor. clean penetration, instant death.

I OS'd an IS-6 with a T95.

It is not invincible, you just missed your shot.

[GeneralGeldenhuys]

Considering the IS-6 to be in BR 7 while the Jaghtpanther is BR 6. Once you get a tank around BR 6,5 and higher, it is easier to kill the IS-6. But tanks which is lower than BR 6,5 will have difficulty to kill this montrosity.

And what aggreviate this matter is the huge numbers of IS-6's being spawned. Most matches, 50% of the tanks are IS-6!

hell i shot a m82 in the side it penned the is-6 killed one person then he killed me. german 7.0 have a ok chance against it.
