Is2 1944..... still absurdly underpowered

So the is2 and is2 1944 got upteired a while back after YEARS of 6.0/6.3. No justification, stats weren’t great, russia wasn’t dominating 6.0/6.3 and the T44 also saw an upteir, removing alot of the motivation for playing that whole br range for russia. But at the same time the tiger 2 was going to 7.0. Then the tiger 2 move got walked back and the is2 stayed. So now we have the is2 1944 and tiger 2 sitting at the same br with the tiger 2 having EVERY advantage. And its not even close. Move the 1944 back to 6.3.

Pretty much, people demanded all the post WW2/early cold war stuff get moved up to create breathing room from the WW2 stuff, the end result of that was all the WW2 heavies started over preforming and went up too, then of course all the WW2 medium and light tanks started overperforming so they went up as well. So for the most part they are all still fighting the same stuff, just a BR step higher.

yeah its bad cause gaijin refuses adamantly to decompress ww2 they gave up

yeah cause they don’t know what there doing 6.7 according to them was supposed to be new 6.3

Doesn’t really mean much to ‘decompress’ a br when you dont change the br of the vehicles that define the whole br cluster. The panther and tiger 2 define 6.0-6.7. ‘decompressing’ the bad tanks but keeping the best tanks just makes things unbalanced. The 1944 was bad at 6.3. The is2 was good at 6.0, but not amazing.
