you:
me:
Sorry what were you saying? Also it’s a good thing I play all nations besides Israel
Im using december 2025 stats to try and use as fair recent data as possible.
china TT 1944 and USSR TT 1944 are the best comparison but other IS2 options are all else i have to make this russia main stop putting his fingers in his ears when told that a russian tank is balanced well.
a K/D of 1 is sadly good in this game. only the top 500 tanks for K/D actually have above a 1K/D. thats not even half. can check for yourself on statshark, if you remove event vehicles the situation is even more dire

Vehicle: Ru251
Gamemode: Ground Realistic
BR Change: 7.3 —> 7.0
Reason: too long reloading time to fire heatfs.
Lmao I’m the biased one… when I’ve played more than 2 nations. I have top tier in 4 nations? 5? But surely I am the biased one.
I’m still waiting to hear what makes the IS-2 better than the other heavies.
wow! 0.1 K/D difference between us!!! im so clearly a noob in your presence despite being a far newer player. Whatever shall I do?!?!
Its quite clear that overall we are on par players on paper so youre proving nothing.
well done youve had 4 years more to do more nations while playing russia as your primary than i have.
im not. im claiming its BALANCED
please untie your panties over this.

Fair enough, the Chinese IS-2 (1944) is probably the best for representing it’s actual performance as it’s a still available TT vehicle and China doesn’t have the “major nation” syndrome that USA, USSR and Germany get.
That said the IS-2s reload, even max- experted is frustrating, when you switch from the IS-2 to the Tiger 2 it feels like you are using an autocannon.

0.91 vs a 1.22?
Or 1.16 vs 1.49?
Good thing Russia isn’t my best nation! (Proving my point once more!)
Lmao you can’t say it, because you know it isn’t balanced. It’s a bad tank for its br. Buffing its reload makes it balanced
I do think you need to take minor nation stats with a grain of salt of course. but generally they are better at showing where vehicles should be.
Only issue is that they are facing the major nation noobs so naturally get statpadded.
reduce that reload and it gets moved higher up. I dont think any of us want the IS2 matchmaking to be korean war larp facing mk3 centurions day to day.

Should we take it with a grain of salt? You always say Brit’s are better than every other player. Yet, me, a Russian main has a better KDr in the Fox, and that was post its first set of nerfs that I got it. Or second? I can’t remember when the turret traverse and the engine was changed. That’s when I got it.
Also, you just proved your own argument invalid. “ major nation noobs so naturally get statpadded” so those “major nation noobs” that are facing clearly better vehicles are doing that good with a and tank (IS-2) jeez I guesss Russian players are really good
imo the IS-2 is fine, it can punch through basically whatever it wants at the cost of being fragile and having a long downtime. Its a tank killer, and its good at that. I guess you could argue that the super pershing also exists, but thats technically also .3 higher, so, i think the IS-2 is fine as is, and any reload buff would need to be met with a .3-.7 uptier depending how much

minor nations are on average better than majors in player skill.
kindly clear off if you want to be an ass. youre proving to be of no worth to conversations ever

IS-2 1944 vs super Pershing guy.
You better hope you only ever 1v1 things, because you won’t ever have a chance otherwise.
Also, thanks to the recent Tiger rework, they eat the 122mms and 100mms from Russian guns fairly often now.

super pershing is also a fat lump that can be crippled by anyone with a shot to its elevation mechanism.
the IS2 hasnt got a “free cripple” spot so its much more practical. moves as fast as mediums do too.
pretty good 6.7 tank as is

That’s how you respond because I disprove you as per usual. Neat.
You have to do one vehicle suggestion per post otherwise they will ignore it completely
hes not wrong, as someone whos grinded all of american top tier and german mid tier, and i have friends who have chinese, british, swedish, and japan done, i can say this much;
minor nations tend to have much more people who actually played the game before, or atleast people who have higher levels, more experience, or are even just have more common sense
major nations have MUCH more “hold w and left click at bad guy!!” (hence how infamously smart american mains are at top tier, and how dumb BMPT players are and still winning)
tldr; its not a 100% statistic, but its not so much minor nation players are above average, its more that they are average, and major nation players are really really really dumb

Is it possible to dislike a comment? This guy doens’t seem to keep his ideas in mind for long enough to finish an argument. I.E the Chieftain 900 is claimed to be just a quicker Mk. 5 as he complains about the Mk. 5 lacking features of more advanced Chieftains. Get a grip, man.
no its literally a mk5 with a more powerful engine. thats all the 900 was
the mk5 is missing the LRF that makes it a chieftain of mk5 specification.
the mk5 we have in game is of the spec of a mk3/2. its just flat out wrong currently
I know chiefs.
When i talk about tanks, especially british ones, Ive often read their manuals and spent a good period of time researching them

there are some advantages imo, like the IS-2 having arguably better armor (from volumetric and weird angles), or that it doesnt have the vertical drive outside of the gun, but then again the IS-2 is technically 6.3, which does account for its longer reload.
