The IS3 needs to move from 7.3 to 7.0

I think you struggle to grasp basic words. Able to pen weak points makes it… not invincible.

I understand how armor works perfectly. Effective in downteirs, making enemies aim at weak points, able to be penned by most vehicles of your own br across large sections, ineffective in any upteir. When do you think armor should be effective? From your comments, never.

M44 can pen the IS3 across the entire mantlet and roof. EVERY ARTY CAN. it has the durability of a light tank to arty.

Wait… i thought that shooting a weak point was too hard? Isn’t that your exact argument with the is3? Its only 140mm dead center, over 220mm near the edges, which is above the pen of most 5.7s. Smaller weak point than the is3.

I thought barreling the tank was too hard too? Again your argument against the is3.

whatever u say dude, the is-3 is fine and its not moving down
u complain too much about armor, u should just go hull down
“artillery” yeah man yk that any tank can get arti on roof right, right man
u didnt even answer my arguement about abrams, which is a 10.7-12.0 tank can get penned by a reserve tank at 1.0, which mean that abrams should get move down too right

they are not moving it down, keep coping on ur armor

Do you understand what a straw man argument is? Not only is it considered in bad taste, its also an extremely weak form of argument. You seems to be very fond of it.

Most tanks don’t have roofs that are exposed to the front. With a 20mm armor plate rather than the 35-60mm of most tanks. The mantlet on the T26E5 often doesn’t splash HE into the drivers hatch due to the turret forward placement. Same with the T32 and most american heavies.

You can make your opinion, none of the points you have made have been valid though.

more valid than you
u can pen is-3 frontally on weakspot
IS-3, no, T-34-85 CAN PEN TYPE 10 FRONTALLY LFP
OR ABRAMS FRONTALLY ON THE TURRET RING
SHOULD THEY GET MOVE DOWN TO t-34-85 BR?
say and cry all you want
is-3 is NOT moving down

Ru at that br literally has nothing there except a pile of cow dung lol even as a Ru main myself I don’t even want to play them, they are so miserable that I called the suicide hotline and they put me on hold indefinitely. There are kings in that br branket, which IMO is the T29 followed by Tiger 2. IS-3 has that 4x zoom and -3 gun depression just doesn’t cut it for my playstyle, and asking me to brawl head-on with a 23 seconds reload timer? hell no. I’ll play it maybe just to collect points from getting hit via barrel-track torture lol

i mean they sure are more versatile
but asking is-3 to move down is silly
i dont want my jumbo-76 to face is3 oh wait it already face is-3
heavy are too heavily depend on armor that when they get penned they become heavily useless
well might as well not using them

Quit being childish. 7.3 russia doesn’t hold a candle to 7.3 Japan or US. Ho-Ri and T32 are both FAR better vehicles than the IS3. Japan gets the ST-A3 and Type 99 where US gets the M163 and T95. Russia gets… T44-100? Meh, not much different than the M46.

st-a3 has no armor, type 99 is m109 but more armored, m163 is meh T-95 is. turtle slow and cupola is a fine weakspot
M46 can get penned frontally by anything at that BR, not weakspot, but the whole ufp

Ok, i’m just going to call you a troll now. You have no experinece with ANY of these vehicles you talk about. Literally none.

ST-a3 has a 6s reload with a US90. So 4 shots for every is3 shot

Type 99 has 50% more HE mass, higher velocity, double the reload, double the turret rotation. Literally no comparison.

M163 was meh at 8.0. Against props its great and you really only see ME262 and SU-9s for jets at 7.3 Both have little standoff capability.

I thought weak points were too hard? T95 weak point is much harder to hit, far less reliable, requires APHE, and has over 200mm armor base.

M46 has the same turret armor as the T44-100 and actual gun depression. Not a great tank, but neither is the T44-100.

Thier 7.7 is also a bunch of mediocre dogpoo that after playing the IS-4M and IS-6, I was so miserable that my dreams filed a restraining order. Only Ru thing that is bearable in that br for me is T-10A, great zoom level, 15 seconds reload and having stab although its only single plane, I was able to make it work because I can see the target better and fire very quickly thanks to the stab. Good thing is everybody else also having cow dung at 7.7, so I’ve play 8.3 instead where they don’t suck that much anymore.

is-3 need 1 shot

at 7.3 compare to 6.3 and no it doesnt have double turret rotation, more like 60% more or so

zsu-37 at another br higher is better and can do anti tank, zsu-23 at the same br is same/better

is-3 hatch volumetric is trickier than t95 cupola, but is-3 is faster, more versatile, although ofc the reload is bad because it use is-2 gun but also the t-95 can also get overpressure by he

fair enough

im gonna buy t-80 prem next sale so i dont have to play though that hell hole

Can consider getting the T-80UM2, with headphone you can hear the direction of missiles/AGM coming in and turn your turret to intercept them, its one of the best T-80 variants ever, highly recommended for my homies.

I did the event so I didn’t spend a dime. I actually abandoned it and completely forgot about it for two years until recently I have been playing a little bit of 10.7 and getting spike’d a lot so I decided to crew it, it didn’t disappoint me. I have had first spawn helicopters dumping their entire loadout on me and only be able to destroy my barrel, tracks, one crew member and top mounted mg lol also sending helicopters with ATGM back to hangar by wasting all their missiles lol

Might have to play it more passively since it doesn’t have thermals. And another good news about the hardkill APS is we can now rearm the spent ammo at objective point, IIRC its a recent update.

IS3 is better than most 6.7s by a lot t26e1-1 for example so no its fine where it is

how do you expect a tiger I to deal with an IS-3 ?? lmao

how about we increase max br decompress the brs instead of just moving the suffering down to the 6.0 tanks

Is-3 is fine as it is, most 7.3 and below are fine as they are. Maybe decompression would help but moving any vehicle in that range would only make things worse right now
