Soviet TIER 5 tech tree tank ISU 122S suggestion

one of tank destroyer i like the most in warthunder i would like to make suggestion of them

ISU 122S and please for other people make a stopping throwing a rock at person just because the t34 100 and is2 44 is suficient , i just want more content in game its just based on my preference i always like more content in game

well the isu 122s is the one strongest tank destroyers with 4 crew with the 122mm cannon capable to pen 205 mm of armor and the best thing it have its the dshk machine gun and a little better reloading time on his 122mm d 25s canon , but the armor front is 90 mm … yeah but its like using the t34 100 but just for tank destroying, the tank is not that bad or that op , its a tank with normal balance and i pray dark flow to add this tank because i love this tank soo much

fix note : from stein grenadier told about it , It reloads at about 15.2s in WT aced, so the reload time can go as low as 12.16s with the loader perk in Enlisted.
very impressive and tanks for new information i didnt know :slight_smile:

The more the merrier

But as a Tank destroyer with a long reload, I would say BR 4 (nearly all Tank Destroyers are made meh by being over BR’d)

well a for a low profile , a little better reload than is2 , 50.call machine gun and good pen its okay for tier 5 , but tier 4 would be cool too (because wouldnt make any difference because the pz4 , tiger or panthers can still pen it )

I’d rather see more SPH’s myself than SPG’s

OP has forgotten to mention that the ISU-122S is arguably the fastest-reloading 122mm cannon tank for the soviets.

It reloads at about 15.2s in WT aced, so the reload time can go as low as 12.16s with the loader perk in Enlisted.

Considering that every other 122mm tank needs 7 business days to reload, this is arguably its biggest selling point, because no amount of armor will save you from a kwk43.

If they lower jagtpanther to IV, maybe :thinking: (shoots a bit faster, but since they nerfed it’s armour…)

Every TD can be lowered 1-2 BRs if the devs made up their mind about what the role of tank destroyers are.

If the concern is a big tank gun that can easily destroy enemy tanks and then shell the enemy team’s infantry, they could balance it by fiddling with the ammo loads such that tank destroyers would have a paltry 33% of their ammo load fire HE instead of the usual 40-50%, along with the usually lower ammo count in TDs by design.

They would still be able to hit infantry with HE, but not for long, and with most lacking turrets, not in a responsive manner.

Similar to how fighter planes can do CAS, but not as well as an attacker plane, but for tanks.

lowering literally every TD to have rather similar BR placements like Warthunder can only work if there are custom ammo loadouts, because alot of tanks are rather immortal if there isnt access to special penetration ammo.

What if the ISU-122 is Research and the 122S could be say premium or event.

for god sake no

No.

The ISU-122 is a piece of shit with a reload speed comparable to an IS-2.
The ISU-122S reloads about 25% faster.

The main issue with the soviet tech tree is that their end-tier vehicles reload in 7 business days.

The ISU-122S would give the soviets access to a more frequently-firing tank. Otherwise, your only other choice for late-tree vehicles that can reload quickly are the premium SU-100 or the event T-34-100.

It’s literally a solution to a problem in the tech tree.
And you want to paywall it?

I think usually they would make the “worse” one Research while Premium is the better. Like the KV-2

Screw that notion completely.

they should add both isu122 and isu122s and just folder them, both vehicles have their place im sure, one as br4 and the other as br5 vehicle

well , you have a good point the isu122 isnt that good compare to is2 43 and 44 , turretless and very slow reloading , it literaly could fit on tier 4 because of it and the isu 122s is improved version with faster reloading , it would fit for tier 5
