![]() IS-3-II is actually a really decent tier IX heavy. Acceleration is decent but top speed is not great. If you like the IS-3’s mobility, this tank is basically the same. If you can manage to use your good gun depression and get hull down, the turret armor becomes very very effective, having bounced even premium spamming Strv 103B’s multiple times. Hull armor is also IS-3 type (hence the name), but a lot thicker, and having bounced some premium shells off of upper plate, it works rather well. The cupola is very small and with some wiggling it can be quite hard to hit. The turret armor is very good, and this makes it rather hard to penetrate without high-pen premium shells. This is where IS-3-II completely outshines the ST-II. Oh and it gets good gun depression, something that will help a lot when it comes to armor protection. Overall, it is very similar to ST-II and will be rather fun to play with at tier 9. The reload time is competitive, albeit marginally, and the handling behaves rather well. Guns work very similarly to the tier 8 premium Object 703. There isn’t much to say about the firepower. It loses a lot of those weakspots and maintains rather competitive firepower advantage, making this a quite decent tier 9. IS-3-II is a lot better tier for tier compared to the ST-II. While the firepower can be quite fun and effective, mediocre armor and mobility really doesn’t let this tank shine. ST-II is rather underwhelming compared to other tier Xs, but can still be competitive provided it is allowed to exchange with other tanks and reload both shells often. The top speed is really low and the tank doesn’t accelerate very well, and while it can do 40 km/h, it isn’t consistent and can dip well below that. The mobility is really underwhelming and is my main concern with this tank. ![]() Side hull armor is rather decent, but isn’t something you can rely on with the side upper plate armor being angled to the sides, meaning any kind of sidescraping will be futile. When it comes to the hull, thanks to the shape it is rather hard to properly sidescrape and upper plate has a very obvious weakspot. ![]() The tank cannot reliably get hull down as the massive cupola is always visible and isn’t very hard to penetrate (albeit you can use your both guns to cover it up, but risk getting guns disabled). 900 alpha damage with double shots will make this gun system rather fun to play, albeit sometimes rather infuriating.Īs far as armor is concerned, it is the same as the regular ST-I. Overall, it can definitely work at tier X, especially when under cover by your teammates.
