💥 IS-2 vs Tiger / War Thunder

You’ve seen us comparing all sorts of vehicles in War Thunder — but today is going to be a very special day. No fancy ATGMs or explosive-reactive armour. This is a fight of two legendary vehicles! The first... is the Soviet hunter, the fearsome IS-2! The second is the glorious Panzerkampfwagen VI Ausf. E… which all of us know by a different name — the Tiger!

"Best shell is APCR"
>Proceeds to use standard PzGr 39 APHECBC round, as the APCR is absolute worthless garbage

[lol]

When judging the Tigers front plate you forgot to mention the 500mm Vibranium drivers port; don't ever shoot there!

I love the narrator. He really seemed to enjoy his job! And that put a smile on my face.

6:00 99%? Then all of that 1% must be my encounters with a IS-2.

The Is-2 reverses so fast, I thought it was French!

[smigoltime]

The truth is, if you miss the IS-2s gunner first shot, you can say goodbye to your Tiger.

"Everything, including the driver slit, can be easily penetrated by a tigers shell"
Me: shoots at it... the is-2 absorbs the shell....
Me: "what?"
Is-2: Da *kills me in 1 shot because I can't reverse into cover fast enough*

It takes around 20 seconds to reload

My analysis based on the video:

The Tiger is a more versatile tank, able to handle many different roles depending on its layout. The IS-2, on the other hand, seems like it has a very specific playstyle: heavy artillery, able to stay on the move and soak damage where it can, yet deal precise damage when allowed.

The IS-2 works best when either in the hands of a skilled operator or when in a team configuration. The Tiger offers more flexibility, and can be modified to fill any assault roles required, be they anti-tank, scouting, or heavy support.

How about bt-5 vs Leopard 2k?
That should be balanced

In reality it's actually more common to face Centurions when playing Tiger 1. Now compare those (:<

Two heavy tanks known in real life to be very tough and hard to destroy due to heavy armor - in WT: don't count on armor in either, it is very easy to penetrate and will help you only if you are very lucky. No tank's armor was designed to withstand hits from 50 meters and this is standard engagement distance in WT maps.

[sarpkaplan]

best shell is not apcr as it is useless in combat, you are misguiding the noobs here. They will load apcr then cry

[peters]

In my hundreds of battles in the tiger, I've never once penetrated the lower plate of the IS 2. And I've definitely tried.

[Mono-tcmq]

Tiger II (P) vs IS-2 or Tiger I vs IS-1 would be more fair

When they said the best of which is the APCR I almost died.
