Only one thing I’m disappointed with the ISU152 …
It comes without a squad.
We used to get nice things with new squads to use them… I miss those times.

I find the ISU-152 a cool reward in spite of the fact that it probably should be in the tech tree but the rest of these “rewards” are completely trash. A 5 round .30 Carbine self loader? Shit, I didn’t know that Enlisted’s guns were becoming California compliant. A unique T-60? Who cares? It’s a worthless tank even for BR1 and some shitty decals? I was hoping VE day would have some good squads and BR 2-3 firearms.

Basically a 5 rounds M1 Carbine.

The Ferdinand simply boasts overwhelmingly formidable armor. It features 200mm of frontal hull and casemate armor. Apart from the 34-100 and SU-100, I can hardly name any Soviet tech tree tank capable of penetrating it. To make it more imposing, its 88mm cannon comes with an excellent reload rate, making it nothing short of a massive mobile bunker.
In comparison, take the ISU-152. Though built on the BR 4 rated IS chassis, its casemate front armor is merely 90mm thick. Even a Panzer IV can punch through its frontal plating from over 100 meters away, resulting in extremely poor defensive performance.
German vehicles like the Jagdpanther and Ferdinand are nearly untouchable from the front. As a dedicated tank destroyer, the Ferdinand’s main armament is purpose-built to hunt enemy armor. By contrast, the ISU-152 was originally designed to demolish hardened fortifications and bunkers.
Yet in the game, DF’s lazy and incompetent design ruins this balance. In-game trees can absorb dozens of shells with no damage, only taking destruction when their roots are targeted. Realistically, projectiles fired at such velocity would crash through tank hulls or concuss and incapacitate the entire crew. Unfortunately, fixed penetration and HE mechanics in the game mean non-penetrating shots leave crews completely unaffected.
These large-caliber vehicles suffer from slow reload speeds and lack turrets, limiting their firing angle far more than turreted tanks. Confined to small combat maps, they end up feeling more like novelty gadgets. It is even outperformed by the ISU-122 in War Thunder. Once the sloped-armor variant armed with a 122mm cannon based on the SU-85M is added in the future, this vehicle will quickly be phased out.
Releasing it exclusively as an event reward is a poorly thought-out decision; it would be far better suited for the regular tech tree. It will only stay relevant for a short while before being overshadowed by newer vehicles. Moving it to BR 4 would be the most fitting adjustment. Historically, it was deployed to counter Tigers and Panthers, long before the King Tiger ever entered service。

very nice event, nice rewards…
few takes on this though…
1st ISU 152… it should be in tech tree but okay, let’s put later on SU 152 in tech tree then
the carbines are sure some fun
portrait, who realyy gives a f
the decals… can we someday finally get the regular White Star for USA and Red Star for Soviets aswell as the Balkenkreuz for Germany, I can’t fathom why we still don’t have that? It should be standard and free decals for our vehicles, and whiole you at it reduce cost of cosmetics to a 1/10th of the ridiculous overprize that is now. so more people can actually afford this. I have money, but it’s just simply overpriced
the big tank is great but the rest of the event feels empty. its just 1 proper prize across 28 days of grind plus 2 rifles that most players wont be excited about - compared to the mini events which also give 2 rifles but much quicker this event really needs more stuff added.
years ago a similar empty event was posted and after player feedback gaijin threw in additional prizes, I recommend this being done here too.
also, what are the tank’s and rifle’s stats?

I am not sure there was a Dornier Pfeil and the Comet Tank this Year in TT.
isu122s could be nice i think!

I don’t think so. This vehicle’s stats have been sitting in the editor for at least three years, just like the KV-2. It even dated back to the closed beta period.
Now among the leftover assets waiting to be officially released in the editor are the Ostwind anti-aircraft vehicle, the Wirbelwind anti-aircraft vehicle, the Jagdtiger, plus two SDKFZ variants fitted with the long-barrel 75mm cannon and short-barrel 37mm cannon respectively.
They are just recycling old assets instead of developing brand-new vehicles. They haven’t even ported any new vehicles over from War Thunder. Overall, this Victory Day event is a total letdown.

Yes, we’ll eventually get them. They announced them about two major updates back.
They’re just too slow and too busy implementing nonsensical new classes like the saboteur.

Was the ISU-152 equipped with HEAT rounds? If not, it cannot effectively deal with the Tiger II, making it not a proper choice in BRV
nagging time.
but…
- identifications decals that were promised…placed behind an event?
- only 2 decals per each?
- still aweful event format
- only one skin and a vehicle ( both for ) russia?
not… a huge fan of that.
but i am of the ISU 152.
neutral about the carbine.

… and yes, the decals. Aren’t identification decals automatically on default camos what people want??? It won’t make any difference with those tactical numbers and marks if the national emblems are optional decals and, especially, cannot be obtained regularly.

Total nonsense. Even the KV-2 can reliably take out King Tigers with its HEs from the front.
You just need to know where to aim. That’s all.
There’s literally no reason why ISU should be BR4.

Again with the 25k… Why can’t we just have 20k like we used to?

Is like say that the Stumpanzer 2 should be BR5 because It can oneshoot every tank of the game
Wow, which poster is this profile picture cropped from?
Seeing this avatar instantly reminds me of playing KARD back in my childhood, when deploying it would grant a +2/+2 stat boost.

Also since this new gun in .30 Carbine has some nice beefy sounds, maybe you could apply that to the other carbines? Currently they sound very weak
