Hello everyone,
two move vehicles from supertest. Stats are not known yet, but these are NOT usual vehicles for sale, they will be a part of some event.
IS-2
Description:
“Heavy tank IS-2 (IS-122) was the result of the IS-1 modernization and from 1944 onwards recieved a more simple vast frontal armor. As a part of the Independent guard heavy tank regiments, IS-2 was used actively to assault fortified enemy cities such as Budapest, Breslau and Berlin. In order to recognize themselves, these vehicles were carrying special recognition signs – white stripes. This model represents a tank of the 7th Guard Tank Brigade, the photography of it under the Brandenburg Gate became widely known.”

That IS2 looks sexy..Hope its not a fucking grindfest to get it
Only tier 7′s shouldn’t be too difficult…
Only tier 7s? look at the on the track missions. 250k xp for a fucking tier 4-5
These will obviously not be tech tree vehicles so I doubt you’ll be able to grind them. I’d say they’ll either be temporary vehicles for an event or premiums like the Fury.
Which means grinding a mission. Which is still grinding.
Isn’t the IS-2 part of the “chinese” tech tree?
So you think IS-2 is a chinese tank…..good going, mate.
Is it what he is saying? Or what you are interpreting he is saying?
Because I think a “yes” would have been correct (and enough)
Yes.
Yeah. But the Chinese use HEAT gold ammo.
Current soviet IS in top configuration is actually an IS-2…
Btw: “Chinese” IS-2 is just a soviet tank in chinese use.
Soviet IS in top configuration is not the IS-2, the hull is different. IS-2 has a more sloped hull.
The IS-2 has more usable armor.
Well, Except in some situations. like a SPG, High place shooting
IS-2 from 1943. This one and the chinese one are IS-2 from 1944. IS-1 had an 85mm gun
It is. It’s just that there were two hull models for IS-2, 1943 and 1944 (the later one being more sloped)
It is a fucking IS-2. IS with a 122mm IS AN IS-2! What we have in Chinese tree is 1944 modification. Jesus, stop talking bullshit if you know shit about something.
No need to get all worked up about, lol.
the IS-2 had two kinds of hull historically
the one in USSR tree is the earlier model and the chinese one is probably the 1944 model but I really dont know where that 90mm armor thickness came from
actually 3: unsloped 120mm, sloped welded 90mm and sloped cast with 100 mm front.
Not really, the first IS-2 tanks, were made on IS-1 hull. The one you think, the same as the one from Chinese tech tree is actually IS-2 Model 1944, with better frontal armor.
you’re thinking of the IS-2 model 1944. The original IS-2 from 1943 and earlier was just an IS-1 with a 122 mm D25-T instead of the 85mm D-5T. They eventually realized that the driver’s port on the IS hull was a major vulnerability, what with it being so flat, so they got rid of it and extended the angled section up to the top of the hull.
To be accurate, Soviet IS in top is a real “IS-2″, and chinese IS-2 is a real “IS-2M”.
Oh hallelujah, somebody who pinpointed the actual difference :)
I think this one is the IS-2 Berlin
brand new in the 0.9.7 supertest
http://ftr.wot-news.com/2015/02/25/straight-outta-supertest-9-7-first-info/
Whats the use of that IS-2? I am already driving one lol.
Better ufp.
Yeah didnt notice that untill somebody pointed that out in the comments below :). I want it now, I like the IS-2 but its armour is a bit lacking sometimes.
Well, its turret’s top is a big plus.
Woras pls
turret sides are kinda minus though
Real IS-2 in USSR tree. But I will hold my Chinese IS-2. It has more relationship with my country.
Are ya korean?
well thats korean in his name
Maybe, could be chinese as well, had some chinese classes and looks more chinese to me (or I’m just a racist :P)
Why OH GLORIOUS PATRIOTIC LOGS are not in damage model?
Secret rocket launchers
Katyusha
ISU-122S has 2 logs!
THAT’S RIGHT! DUAL WIELD AKIMBO LOGS BITCHES !!!11!!eleven!
IS-2 MODEL 1944 AND ISU-122S NOW WITH AKIMBO TACTICOOL LOG ACTION TO STOP FASCISTS AND CAPITALIST PIG DOGS ALIKE
What its stance then? “Drunk grazhdanin”? :D
The is-2 is also on the Russian tech tree as the IS-1 with the 122 mounted
if you would take a look at the hull… and then gouge your eyes out and return them from whence they came you obviously need a refund
The Chinese IS-2 is a copy of IS-2 model 44 while the IS with 122mm gun is Model 43, both of them are IS-2.
No no no, this IS-2 will simply be a cheap soviet copy of an original chinese design :P
So this IS 2 has 20hp more than the Chinese, 30 better frony hull amour, and better gun stats including 4 rpm more.
Hope these are soft stats.
Wow indeed, I hope the Chinese one gets buffed to 120mm as well when it gets made in HD (probably in 2019 for Chinese tanks lol).
The RoF is actually lower(Or about the same), reread it.
Usually Chinese have low engine than USSR. Even lower than historical engine.
Tgis IS2 is more armoured then both Soviet and Chinese IS tanks…
It is the actual historical armour though, the Chinese one is nerfed for some reason
There were many versions of the IS-2.
The step design we see in the Soviet IS.
The 90mm (lightened for maneuverability, as it was too front heavy) chinese IS-2
A 100mm version of the IS-2
And this IS-2 1944 120mm.
I want them !
Pingback: Supertest: IS-2 a ISU-122S verzí „Berlín“
… why do I get this feeling that those logs will count as spaced armor for the IS-2 and ISU-122S (speaking of which, isn’t the ISU-152 packing the D-25 122 effectively become an ISU-122S?) though.
and the designations I believe will be the IS-2B due to the Berlin thing or an IS-2M.
btw whats the total difference for the IS-2 1943 which is the fully upgraded IS(?) and the IS-2B which is kinda the IS-2 1944 aside from the better view?
The original IS-2 from 1943 and earlier was just an IS-1 with a 122 mm D25-T instead of the 85mm D-5T. They eventually realized that the driver’s port on the IS hull was a major vulnerability, what with it being so flat, so they got rid of it and extended the angled section up to the top of the hull.
So maybe new mini-campaign???
Tactical Logs everywhere
Dev 1: “How can we make a boring clone tank special and wanted?”
Dev 2: “I know, tactical logs and white stripes!!!”
WOT crowd: “Oh thank you, magnificent Dev lords, for new and special tanks! Can we have more plz? With names also? We beg you!”
Like the Fury you mean? :P
Though I’ve yet to see my Fury deflect Tiger ammo with it’s logs… :(
Or make a stationary Tiger miss several shots at three Shermans driving towards it in a straight line :P…
They’re both much better than the elite ones – IS and SU-152 / 122. Where the hell is the balancing department ? Taking a vacation ?
Balancing de(r)partment? In World of Tanks? You must be new here!
Elite gun: 122mm D-25S
Damage: 390
Penetration: 175
ROF: 8,456
DPM: 3297,7
Holy shit, is this a joke? It’s better than Su 152
3300 dpm… isn’t that wtf-100 territory?
Define “balance”
And after that, shut up and take my money, I want one.
But it is a lot slower and more sluggish.
Please dont waste these models wargaming because these are 2 of the nicest looking models they have ever shown so if these are just for some event that will be kind of heartbreaking because they look so good plus i doubt their regular premiums plus the IS-2 has a better rof than the current IS so that strikes me as an event tank immediately which is a real shame :(
Insane RoF on the T7 TD….. seems legit.
What about polish T-34/85 and Cromwell Berlin?
ISU-122S = bigger, slower, slightly-thicker side-armored SU-122-44?
Nothx…
HD logs are sexy.
new IS-2 model 1944 with HD model, white striping and AKIMBO TACTICOOL LOG ACTION
Logs are awesome.. Instead of more HD models, why don’t they just fix MM?
SerB: “You see Ivan, when add HD logs like so, you change weight of tenk, so never having to of change MM because tenk of rebalanced!”
I wonder if this HD models will get those ridiculous tracks which are on HD IS. Otherwise i dont get purpose of doing more and more same vehicles as a rewards. Make it at least premium and not just reward with no credit income boost. And pls fuck delete those platoon IMs.. It ruins my progress.. No i know i can just stfu and fuck myself.
Well, from the perspective of one who plays more War Thunder now, there is a major difference between model 1943(IS-1 hull) and model 1944(seen above) when it comes to the UFP. Sloped 120mm is much better than the flat driver’s port from IS-1. Additionally, there were improvements in the turret that improved reload speed. And there’s the 12.7mm MG on top. Makes for nice AA defense. Looking at it from a real life or simulator point of view, it makes sense to differentiate between the two. From an arcade stand point… eh, not so much…
I didnt talk about differences of IS-1 and 2 i know about them. But i mean that there will be 3 very similar tanks in game – IS, IS-2 and IS-2 reward with pretty much same characteristics and guns. About tracks – tracks are not the hull. Look at tracks on IS HD model in game than to IS-2 and this IS-2 reward. The ones on HD IS are so brutaly big in comparsion with ones on IS-2s. ISU-152 and ISU-122 same vehicles one elite one not. why omg. I just want them to make something different. e.g. add some HD models of other tanks more quickly.
Extra logs for extra soviet supremacy and extra rng protection against fascist box tanks. xaxaxaxaxa
Next premium: IS-2-4L with 4 tactical logs! For extra soviet log supremacy!
“Gun traverse: 16 degrees to each side”
Tier VII.
ROF: 8,456
DPM: 3297,7
Reload: 7,096
122-44 says no damage for you
Better Gun Depression, Nearly IS-6′s RoF. slightly higher HP, better engine…..The buff of USSR tree’s IS on the 100mm gun already smash hard on the PRC’s IS-2….now they bring in this to smash even harder….g fucking g WG….
they learn from war thunder
I hope not too much…
“Hey let’s remove first of the day x2 bonus in favor of connecting every day for 5 days in a row for an equivalent bonus, or worse, because it’s random! Let’s also add more and more tanks while keeping hopelessly broken and random damage and driving models ! ”
*Exocet uninstalls*
I was seriously told by a moderator in-game that Gaijin had a fine business model with more and more players (lies).
Sure. Fine in the sense they almost FORCE you to buy a premium tank to grind past tier4 (equivalent to tier7-8 in WoT) without losing your mind.
Seriously, I want to love that game, but the devs are so hellbent on sodomizing the players with bad decisions in favor of maximum cashgrab, I can’t play it a single day without rage-quitting it and uninstalling.
Oh my fucking GOD ! Dat Russian log supremacy
REMEBER !!!! 70 YEAR END OF WW2 celebrations !!!!
Both these tanks looks cool. If they will put them in missions or make a new mod I might start playing this shitty game for a while again.
WG seems to have tied SerB up and are doing what they want now, first Jingles’ physics vid actually made me pretty hype for the new physics and now these tanks are balanced despite being russian???
I really love my IS and I would love to be able to unlock a premium variant so I can always keep one that can train crews! Having that ISU-122S would be very nice too.
“During WW2, this vehicle fulfilled the role of a powerful artillery piece and tank destroyer.”
I want an SPG that can transform into a TD, and vice versa!
Voltron tank!
