These vehicles should be looked at for a BR increase in simulator BR:
P-47D-30 (Italy)
P-47D-30 (China)
These are insanely powerful to the point of dominating the entire 2.7-4.7 brackets they face and should go up from 3.7 to 4.7 to make them consistent with the less powerful P-47D-28 (US). Nothing at their current 3.7 simulator BR can compete with them at all to the point they just sealclub the match with sometimes as many as 18 player kills without a single death
no no, I despise bad balancing of soviet tanks, and despise when major nation mains cant handle that a nation of players with a K/D closer to 1 than 0.6 is a better indication of when a vehicle is ok. Dont appreciate bad mouthing of a friend of mine either.
most open goal of the decade
BMPT
The average player is NOT good at being an example of how vehicles should be balanced
minor nation players are usually closer to what BARE MINIMUM for what a mid player is in K/D ratio for all other shooters. they are naturally are a better data pool to listen to, balance out the slop players with the competent ones and you find the IS2 is just fine as is
I would point out that the 2 Russian IS-2 you link the stats for are and old premium that is longer available and an old event reward, thus now being played much by newer player the 2 combined have 4.5 million games last month while the TT IS-2 (1944) that is still available has TEN times that at 49 million games and a far lower K/D at 1.09, not horrible, but not standout either.
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
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.
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
