IS2 takes hitkill from all German tanks and has horrible ammo that is unable to penetrate the side armor of a Tiger.
I’m compiling videos to prove it.
I would like to share a funny situation where my shot killed the entire crew of a panzer IV with the exception of one member. This member managed to fire a shot that destroyed me instantly. It is possible to get off the vehicle for repairs - make a snack - enter the tank - load the ammo and destroy me in the time that the is2 reload
IS-2 is just a gimmick for naive players.
As much as I love the Soviet heavies, I think it’s perfectly reasonable to expect penetrations in it’s frontal glacis plate at Point Blank range in Berlin. Maybe with time we might get to see these duel at longer ranges with Tigers.
But if it’s ammo isn’t penning Tigers I’d love to see it
The in-game arcade maps do not reflect the historical combat distances of these tanks. The minimap puts the game’s uniquely hardcore elements to shame.
The same will happen with the upcoming ISU-152 or something like that.
Hello! The problem with the IS-2’s shells will be fixed in the next major update. Other than that it has no problem with it’s damage model.
just use T-34 or git gud lol
thanks for your reply 
I wish you the best
