How is the IS7?

[-NODER-_Novastorm_]

I know its a bit earlier to ask this, im starting to build it today after 1 and a half day grinding t34e, just by playing the game, but i know there are people that buys materials to speedup the IS7 assembling.
If someone allready owns is7 give me your opinions about it, thanx:)

OP asked those that already own the IS-7 m8

I'll just get the T-34 coupon and hope I won't have a bunch of useless crap in my inventory after the event.

I killed 2 today. Good thing is ppl who have the IS-7 now usually only bring this as a single 8.0 vehicle and nothing else in the lineup. It's starting to be a good time to play 8.7...

Frontaly immune to anything that has less pen than a 90mm HEATFS, can keep up with a 906 and has a good reverse

Best thing you can do if you don't have chieftain level of APDS is hope your HE is powerfull enough to pen the lower chassis when firing under it

bearing in mind 90mm HEAT-FS is 7.0 stuff, so the minimum it is facing, that's actually not that good for a heavy tank.

does it even get stabilisers at 8.0?

You can see for yourself:

In short: Hard to kill from the front with AP rounds; 130mm cannon one-shots most adversaries, and great maneuverability; weak to HEAT/HESH rounds and to AP rounds from the sides/rear/air.

Nice, thanx for the amswers guys:)
No tank is imune in my mind, some are harder to kill than others ofcourse, but in the end they all have their vulnerabilities, even when im driving my abrams or leopard2a4 and see some players with lower tier tanks in high rank battles i never understimate those, even im with a better tank there are always some chances that i can get killed by those, and sometimes it happens.

It's a very overhyped tank at the moment, any 9.0 modern tank can penetrate its turret and lower plate easily. It's not worth the grind if you want to use the cupon, it might be worth grinding only if you're willing to wait a few months until price of the IS-7 cupon increases and then sell it. But that might be risky and you could maybe earn more money if you sold the parts directly. In the first 2 days of the event I already had 60 GJN only from selling parts, I could buy a much better tank (XM-1) that actually is premium only by grinding 2 out of 10 days.

Im grinding is7 for 2 reasons, one is to collect that heavy to my warthunder tech tree and the 2nd reason is to play with of course from time to time, because im usualy at max br all the time playing with 9.0 to 10.0 br battles, good to take a break and go down once in a while to 8.0 i think.

Well, good luck with the RNG. As much as i'd love to have that thing in my collection as well, im not able or willing to spend too much time on this event.

I hope there will be future events were you can get the E100 or IS-7 (and others like the type 62) but that wont be for a long time to come (if ever).
Never been a fan of exclusive stuff in any games, even if it's hard earned in crazy made events.

Worst case yo ucan spend 150£ on the market to buy it from another player when its over
