Hello everyone <3
Is the IS-7 one of your favorite vehicles in World of Tanks? Why?

"How do you penetrate enemy armor"

Press 2.

[firestick]

IS-7 has bad DPM, penetration and accuracy. Light tanks have bad DPM, penetration and accuracy.
IS-7 is fast, has low profile and decent gun handling. Light tanks are fast, have low profile and decent gun handling.
*IS-7 is light tank* 🤔

Meanwhile, The IS-4 still has 30mm of armor on the top of its turret, lower alpha damage, more weakpoints, hardly 200mm of effective frontal armor, is 16km/h slower and now only has 100hp over the IS-7. Sigh...

Armor doesn't matter anymore... Tier 10s just gold spam you now

[chillvibeyguy]

Strong Is-7 armour?

*loads gold rounds *

[crazedfeel]

4:59 "You´re the one to take the HEAT and fight back"

[hoangkaiser]

[paytowin]

Russian says: "The IS7 is a true legend tank in World of Tanks!"



-.-

[deadlyshot]

WZ 111 5A is much better, I played IS-7 a few times after update and it doesnt feel any more better then it was. Why to play IS-7 when WZ is an improved IS-7

IS-7 is my first T10, back in those days it was a monster. now 2021, it's like a nothing

[ilovemyname]

They made a certain tank, in Russia long ago,
It was big and stronk, and it's gun is excellent
Most tankers look at it, with terror and with fear
But to russ-tankers it was such a lovely thing

It can side scrape like it was the best machine,
Full of biases and armor,
"Come and hunt them" As the team kept demanding,
And he really did..

RA-RA-RASPUTIN, ace machine of the HT line
Their was a tank that ruled every heavy
RA-RA-RASPUTIN, Russia's greatest invention
It was a shame that it kept being buffed..

He ruled the Russian tanks, and never mind the biases
But the stats today, it was really O-P
In all battles in the game, it was the tank to please
But it was real great when it did a victory

From the players, it was very balanced,
Though they heard it was getting buffed
They believed that its line was a master race
Since its always buffed

I-S-SE-SEVEN, ace machine of the HT line
It was the tank that ruled every heavy
I-S-SE-SEVEN, Russia's greatest invention
It was a shame that it kept being buffed..

"But when it was being biased, and unbalanced,
and the staff's biasness over the tank
became known to more and more players"
"The complaints that can do something to this
outrageous tank became viral and was the #1 in the discussions"

RUSS, -IAN, BIAS, RUSS, -IAN, BIAS, RUSS, -IAN, BIAS, OVER, -POWERED, OVER, -POWERED, OVER, -POWERED, UN-UN, -BALANCED, UN-UN, -BALANCED, UN-UN, -BALANCED, WHY, WHY, WHY, SO, SO, O-P

"This tank must be nerfed"
Declared by the players
But the russ-tankers (begged)
"Dont you try to do it, please"

No doubt this biased tank
Had a history
Though it was a brute
It was buffing for ages

Then one day, WG planned to nerf it
Planned to nerf it, but just for once
"Come and nerf it" As the players kept demanding,
And WG really did..

I-S-SE-SEVEN, ace machine of the HT line
They prepared the hammer and was pointed to the '7
I-S-SE-SEVEN, Russia's great invention
It was nerfed but it didnt do anything

I-S-SE-SEVEN, ace machine of the HT line
They did quit so they cancelled it
I-S-SE-SEVEN, Russia's great invention
And they kept buffing it 'til'it was OP..

Oh WG....

[yacir]

Wow the directing and the soundtrack are simply amazing, technically very well done !

[Paciat]

4:41 "IS-7 is an assault tank". WG noticed? They didnt noticed it when making up a name for the Defender.

[bikezone]

IS7 Needed a buff, and a good job has been done on it. PLEASE now please fix my obj 260! The mantle being 250mm is quite frankly ridiculous and gets penned all the time, and due to nature of the larger overmatch roof than the is4, forces you away from brawling. If the mantle was fixed, it would atleast give some reliable strength to the front of the turret of the obj260. Now that the is7s engine has been buffed to almost the same proportions, there isnt alot separating the tanks apart from the guns, and bad weakspots. The fact a lot of shells ricochet off the turret into the hull and penetrate is, along with the mantle, the two most frustrating points for me about the tank. I know the obj 260 is meant to be lighter in armor, but these weak spots just don't make sense.

[levkranchevko]

WHAT ARE THE SONGS USED IN THE BACKGROUND!??

[SzwarcuKX]

What about IS-4? Remember that tank WG? It's in the game you know ....

[condemontanelas]

Now do this, but with the IS6 and Show how Amazing his Armor is AND the epic gun that comes with it.







(A full 5:32 Video of the IS6 getting penned by tier 7/8/9 tanks and not being able to shot Back since he only gets 175 AP pen/Amazing 217 Gold pen, even the other prems get 230/300 gold pen, and having problems specially with tanks like:IS3, Defender, Patriot, T32...well Almost all tier 8 heavys all tier 9 Heavys and some tier 8 meds "Improved T44, T54prot", power-creep Is always in games, but in a soviet tank, that's new.. )
