Show me where i said that.
Here.
If it’s not a benefit, then by definition, it’s useless (no point having something that brings no benefit).
I disagree with that assessment. The 75mm HEAT is one of the Maus’ most powerful features.

IS-3 moves to 7.3
Next day: waaa it isn’t fair, I get pulled to 7.3 “every match” and Soviets are too OP there, needs to move higher.
There was another thread pointing how OP 7.3 currently is (2 vehicles, one a premium) because 6.7 only sees 7.3 and 7.7… except when you play 5.7/6.0/6.3 and only get 6.7s. Wack another 7.3 there and they can get them all shifted to 8.0.
You are quoting another guy dude.
No, the next day 6.0 and 6.3 is finally more decompresed and balanced.
Too late, already happening.
Not the 7.0/7.3 direct issue the thread starts with but comments regarding impact on current 6.3/6.7s. And not saying you are the one that might complain about it.
Sorry, the same profile pic showing up two posts in a row threw me for a bit of a loop 😁
Dont worry :)
At 7.3 it would at least limit the amounts that could spawn in a 7.3, yet doesn’t solve the overall issue.
7.7 is a lot worse because it makes 7.3 unlimited.
Because Maus have much more armor all around, than IS-3. And better gun.

IS-3 isn’t better than 7.3 T32, that’s for sure, so advocating for a 7.7 BR push is simply hilarious.
That thing is tricky to use, it’s basically non-existent gun depression and turret traverse speed really limits what you can and can’t do. 23s reload surely doesn’t help either.
On the other hand, T32 is more mobile, has way better reload and can actually fire behind cover with it’s good gun depression. Turret traverse speed is also way better, and you still have frontal armor that can take a beating.

Quite entertaining to see this arguement of two polar opposite opinions clashing being continued. My suggestion is the best but gets neglected.
Well, obviously, further decompression is the best option, not only for 7.0, but for every single BR range in the game.
That’s what everyone wants.

And we know, it’s not gonna happen.
Gaijin just moved the compression to a different BR so that 6.7 players would shut up about fighting post-war vehicles.
There’s plenty that can pen it and you could die of old age before that thing reloads. Let it shoot and flank.

i love those kind answers lol.
“let it shoot” ok but then also hope that it doesn’t kill you because unless you’re driving a T-95 it will pen you. “flank” sure but if there’s at least one ennemy covering him then it’s impossible and you’ll die.
Let’s also not forget the machine gun that can reliably destroy you if you’re playing a light tank.
Yeah, there’s always at least half a dozen guys defending the almighty IS-3 lol.
Slow as a snail, with non-existent gun depression and gun handling. Also, it takes like a year to reload. I have no idea how anyone can struggle against this tank.

Slow ? The thing is surprisingly fast and overall way more agile than a Tiger II.
Ok the depression is bad but as long as you don’t play it on a hill it’s not a problem at all.
And the reaload is very overstimated … it’s long yes, but it’s a problem only in close combat. And if you’re in close combat with a heavy you’re pretty much dead, no matter the tank.
I was more comparing it to the T32 which sits at 7.3, since this thread is advocating for a 7.3/7.7 push.
Even the slightest of incline could be tricky for IS-3. You don’t need hills to make it useless.
I think you are underestimating how long 23 seconds are, especially when you consider that round isn’t anything special, other heavies around that BR range have similarly performant rounds, but with much better reload speed.
Not only that, it’s turret traverse is abysmal as well, it tops out at 7.7 deg/s.
To put that in the perspective, IS-3 needs more than 10 seconds to turn it’s turret 90 degrees, that’s ridiculously slow.

I know the IS-3 quite well as I play it and I play a lot against it.
It would clearly perform quite well in 7.3. Sure on its own the IS-3 can be countered by somehting like a T32 but it’s rarely alone. If you couple it with let’s say a T-44 then it’s really hard to pass through.
Also my biggest problem with it is the inconstent valu of its armour. Even if you manage to flank it, there’s a high chance that the side armour will eat the round or a weird angle will make it bounce.
I’m not trying to argue that the IS-3 is OP, cuz it’s not, but it’s on the same BR as tanks like the Tiger II 10.5 or things like that that are clearly inferior.
