I tried using it in ARB and realized it’s not something that can stand up to fighters. On the other hand, I do think it’s still very powerful when used for CAS. It might end up taking over most of the roles of similarly-ranked WW2 attack aircraft.
I previously wrote that it felt close to the Wyvern, but that was clearly too influenced by my preconceptions.

Guys, you forgot to put real ammo into cannons. Literally 4 severe from 500 ammo belts half-filled with HE.

Yak-3 outperform it in every characteristic, Fw.190A is just trash and F4U-4 at 4.3 is much better than Pucara too (much faster, better climbrate, not much worse turnrate)
You didn’t even test this plane for a second before writing this BS?

I mean Yak has nuclear cannon and not hitsparkos.

You know that would absolutely screw Germany right?
You’re not getting a tiger 2 meta as you’re gonna be seeing is3 and MK3 centurion in every match.
The BR system is much fairer than historical matchmaking. Even if we get stupid unbalanced things like pucara.
I also prefer the pucara being a menace at low tier than it being worthless in a historic BR system. Better it spitfire food than sea harrier food

These would be post war tanks. IS3 f.e. wasn’t even part of the very last tank offensive in Manchuria vs. Japan. As I said no time travellers.
1945 tanks would see 1944 tanks. 6.7 Germany is already a plaything for Brit mains with MK2 cents and JS tanks.
Germany would be somewhat competitive for ww2 but post war would be dominated by Britain and Russia simply because they were several years ahead of peers in adopting newer styles of tanks in the cold war with a sprinkling of Sweden because of their rather fascinating weird vehicles until the 80s where America finally learns how to build tanks again.

Evidently postwar, according to the image.

Is3 was first built in April 1945, a month before Germany was crushed.
It takes a 5 seconds Google to see that you are wrong

Lol and perhaps even lmao. Historical MM for me but not for thee.
The first test of the IS-3 was in October 1944.
“First test date” would be the only universal applicable criterion given how many vehicles in WT were never accepted into service.
For comparison the Schmalturm was put on a Panther chassis in August of that year, so guess what, you’re fighting IS-3s in Panther Fs now. Well done!
Also, the Maus had its first test in December 1943, so now it’s lower in BR than either of the aforementioned tanks.
Yeah, I really wonder why the historical MM idea never took off…
EDIT: calling “postwar” a tank whose entire design and testing work was done during the war is nonsensical. It has a postwar service history but WT is not a service history simulator: we don’t fight in homogeneous tank companies under a specific doctrine and on historical battlefields. Instead, in WT vehicles exist as (a representation of) their design. Their specifications. And specification wise there is nothing about the IS-3 that is postwar. It was requested in wartime, designed in wartime and built in wartime with the explicit goal of kicking the Germans’ ass.

bingo.
hence why the pucara flies with the FW190 and mustang and not the dagger and sea harrier

It’s also why the Puma is at 3.7 instead of playing alongside Jagdpanthers. Somehow that never seems to cause any problems though. I guess not all time travelling is created equal.
I play all trees, but Germany is definitely my main tree, and it makes me cringe to read some takes, especially from players who don’t realise how good they have it with a performance-based MM when it comes to some WW2 German tanks.

can certainly argue that the puma should be 4.3, its a little monster of a scout car but i agree with your point.
I mostly play britain, the largest minor nation but still treated as a minor nation a lot of the time but ive also played a fair chunk of russia, america and germany. the mains of those nations have no idea how good they have it a lot of the time with how lenient the performance MM is for getting good tanks lower than nations with a better average player.
they think of a couple instances that may be powerful, and then forget that the IS3 was in service before ww2 ended and the british were making 2 plane stabilised tanks not even 4 months after the surrender

For me it’s more a question of double standards. I have no problem with performance based MM, so bring it on. However, I’ve never seen a German player “supportive of historical MM” say “man, the Puma and the Pz IV J should really be 6.3 or 6.7 on historical grounds, stupid time travellers”. And yet it is a bigger time jump for the Puma to be in the lower tiers than it is for the IS-3 to see late war German heavies - years vs months or weeks.
An even bigger impact is simply the lineups. In so many minor nations there are so many lineups where you only have a handful of vehicles, often unsuited to pushing and influencing the matches.
