I havnt played it in a while either got my IS-7 and realized wow this thing is worse then the IS-4 then I started working on my mediums and got myself a T-54 fully upgraded and its DAAAMN fast manuverable decent armor and the gun is woohoo but I got bored started working on german tanks got up to the Tiger 2 and though meh crappy

560,000 will almost get you an IS-7 I belive they are 680,000XP if you go straight through

you'll get it and any time you see me in game if I'm not AFK I'll platoon with you and let you hide behind my IS-4

I use an IS(with 100mm gun) and an M4A3E8 for my money makers avrage 25k a round with each in pure profit

Make sure you get a farmer tank too if you grab a n IS-3/4 they arnt cheap to run if you lose

The M4A3E8 "Easy Eight" Sherman is a cross between a light tank in terms of general movment and a mid range heavy in terms of gun performance with an insane ROF (In my test I have the M1A2 kicking up close to 23 rounds per minute) as long as I track every 3 shots and dont get hit I can and have twice solo'd a tiger 2 all by my lonesome on the russian end I have the 130mm on my IS-4 and nothing says I hate you like dropping a VK4501 to 2% on its very first shot

American tanks suck harshly I may or may not stick it out for a sherman or I'll just stick with my plan of getting a T-44 while working towards an Is-7 on the other end I've tried most of the bottom tier and honestly they are very very poor machines except they have decent guns with high rates of fire the actual tanks have been crap on a side note their M2 HB sucks it burst fires it should be full auto for the piddling damage it does

I need 168,000 XP for my IS-4 its very slow going

Some form of realistic laser weapon with a continuous beam Sig-P210 StG-44 more near future weapons Webley or some other break top revolver the Smart guns from Aliens

Same with the M26 Pershing you darn well better be able to mount the 90mm M3 with a hydrolic auto loader that gave it an ROF of nearly 25rounds per minute and could punch right through a tiger 2 at 1,000 meters reliably

2 KPH per second faster doesnt compensate for half the turn speed and significantly lower acceleration all except the BL9 can be mounted on the IS and the radios I havnt noticed a diffrence in em

I notice the IS-3 is utterly worse in every way then the IS the only diffrence is an extra 100 HP and for that your slower die quicker carry the same gun and spend twice the money to repair

Isn't it tho

And germans have significantly more armor and health better radios better view and sight try putting a stock IS against its german counterpart a stock tiger and the tiger will win most fights simply on its abiulity to hit first hit more reliably and simply absorb the IS's hits the only place the russians overtake the germans is the straight out medium tier T-44's are insanley overpowered fast manuverable and carries a realy big gun

the german Guns tend to have better accuracy and a higher penetration German tanks are also damage sponges especialy the higher tier ones Russian tanks tend to do more damage and have a higher rate of fire and while they cant take hits like the germans they can deflect em easier
