IS2-3-4-6 need some reworks/Buffs

SO we all know the IS2 has a decade long reload 27 seconds for the IS2 reload one round at 6.7,
but the IS3 and 4M both have same reload despite having far more space in there turrets IS6 is the only exeception which cause its a premium it gets fun buffs like a reload buff for its D30 cannon.

space being main reason being 27 second reload in the IS2 and its 2 stage the reload times on the IS3 and IS4 for their guns should be reduced as they have not the most insane pen for there br same pen as a 6.7 is2 which can’t always one shot everything, with a SPADED crew your reload in all three of IS2-3-4 is around 20.8 seconds which compared to other 2 stage ammo tanks like T32 is a lot slower but the IS6 gets I kid you not a 15.8 second reload for being premium and having a slightly different gun but same round same BR 471D as its best shell

i definently would not consider this a balanced premium at all rather OP compared to the tech trees instead of being a side grade its the direct uprgade so my suggestion to you is change there reloads to 16-17 seconds for IS4M and IS3 as they do have larger turrets with more space and its been said before but even if it is a little faster than IRL reloads are used as a balanceing stat this would make them far more enjoyable at there BRs

this reload also is a massive problem cause of the amount of heat and he slingers around your BR with paper thin walls waiting half a minute per shot is kinda crazy

just as a example the american T34 has 120mm which reloads in 14.8 seconds with a spaded crew also being 2 stage

not really its op in a downtier thats about it IS4M is in same boat as T32E1 being demolished by 8.3s with 105MM cannons APDS and 2 plane stablizers and 2 times your max speed i definetly say the reload on the IS6 is pay to win

And that is why the T-10M or the IS-8 is above it. The Maus and E-100 also suffer the same thing.

the maus reloads way faster same with E100 there like 3 seconds faster for being a 128MM maus also gets a 300mm pen round for worse mobility which you can just sit at range in and dominate due to german optics theres not a slower reloading 120mm cannon in game

welp people have major skill issue fighting the IS-4 already if we buff it… they are gonna blame gaijin for “Russian Bias”

Bro, german 128 reloads much faster because it actually has some space in the turret in comparison with IS tanks ON TOP of having two loaders instead of one.

You know that 122 has better pen than IRL? And in game is enough for almost anything it will face.

Yep, Maus cannon is completely fine and quite good, no buffs or nerfs needed.

Maybe if they didn’t receive mega bullshit volumetric models with super trolly armor. they are very good where they are
