[@Scorpiany]

Apparently the Himmelsdorf encounter now has rubble around the building on the cap circle. So not only are the spawns different, but the cap circle is more protected against enemy pushes. Very interesting changes to it. Hopefully it will make the Encounter mode a bit less of a clusterfuck on the hill, and instead make it a more strategic kind of fight.

[@TheZezol14]

11:32 "it's not the instant the whole of your team is on top of the hill, or at least 2/3 of your team. Everybody is kind of split up across the map". In a game where literally 5 tanks are NOT on the hill, so precisely 2/3 of your team is on the hill :)

Hi QB! Thank you for your continuous hard work on WOT and tank reviews. I played 6 years this game untill recently having over a year break from it and i feel like completely lost track of all tier 8 premiums, new equipment and mechanics.

[@FlaviaPitariu]

I personally would get the turret first and use the 85, you can double shot much easier and your next shot is ready really quick which allows you to surprise tanks that expect you to be reloading. Also mistakes aren't as punishing as you reload really quick, currently my reload is 4.8 seconds

[@canekurbla4755]

[@nikoladd]

I've been off WoT for about 20-ish months(just as the Italian tree was being added) and I just returned a month ago and have played quite a bit since then. I am still learning all the "new" tanks in the game and was trying to rely a bit on my former knowledge of strong/weak sides of different tank lines... imagine my surprise when I found out IS-2-II's gun depression after one bullied me in my medium tank on a ridge line.. Then I found out IS-3-II has 8deg of gun depression... it's one of the worst design choices in this game that I find out after returning... and they actually fixed a few of the old pains in that time.

[@d3rpyjason]

In my first match with my IS-2-II I did 3.5k dmg and then the next match 4.2k dmg. I shoted double barrel shots more often BC no-one was just rushing me. I used the top gun and top turret.

[@Alpharius4]

There is something that I would like to share with people. Instead of putting your repair and med kit on the 4 and 5 keys, put them on the q and e keys. Also, you can put the fire extinguisher on the left alt key. This is faster than the 4, 5, and 6 keys. Fast enough to where i can almost instantly repair my tracks, because you would use 4 then 5 normally, q then e works the same way.

gave this bad boy turbo and didnt put the heavier radio on it to give this beast 40km/h on flat terrain. I get to most flanks just behind the medium tanks to destroy any light/medium tanks that are unfortunate enough to come across. combine that with the ~2.3k DPM and good turret armor to gain an incredibly good breakthrough tank used to carry medium lines to get behind other heavies. Can't wait to put off road driving on it, too.

Thanks for the content! I got my hands on IS22 today. Your module guide is definitely useful. I free xped to the second gun, then with those x5 bonuses I unlocked everything quite fast. Didn't ace KV3 though, neigher did I ace T150. Those x5 bonus are too powerful I elited them very fast and I feel guilty to play elited tanks now.

i did that with my 268v4 ,blocked a double shot that was meant for my ally

Master in IS-2-II. Awesome tank, but yes, this LMB for salvo is a little weard. Its not the easiest tank to play, but if you know how, it is great

[@thinhle1374]

I'm early so this is my sum up about this tank after buying it and rocking a solid 67% winrate in 30ish battles: The tank is pretty good and imo is one of the better tier 8 heavies. The gun is very reliable. The hull is trash so try to hide it if you have a chance. Turret is solid but also has a weak spot (copula ofc). Verdict: kind of a glass double canon.

[@guve25]

The dual shot RNG mostly rolls low, I'm averaging about 560-570 per double shot. Maybe that's just my luck, but when trying to finish a tank, I'm aiming at tanks with 550 hp or less.

@@mahamudra911 The only difference is: Both the 44 and 34-2 are basically the same base design and support the same playstyle but with the simple fact that the 44 outshines its chinese counterpart in every way.

@@LumbridgeTeleport 180mm of effective armour lower and upper plate is nearly useless. the side armour is the same as the IS heavy tank a tier lower. has a decent sized cupola weakspot that is nonexistant on the premium version, also the gun handling is better on the 703 because of its huge improvements in soft stats. the gun aim time and dispersion only matters to an extent.

[@luketfer]

To be fair in the UK if you say you "cocked something up" or "Cock it up" as it became, it isn't actually that offensive, since it's using the old english term for Cocked which is 'crooked' so it's basically 'to make it wonky'. I mean you don't use it around small children but it's hardly THAT offensive. I say this as a Brit :).

[@ottrakkaselg8033]

I have not played it and will not do so in the near future, but from the get go, i have had a feeling, that this is2-II will be the most exiting one for me. It kinda reminds of the polish T8 and further more, the old german t8 vk and I loved these. Yes the VK out of the meta, but back in the day, it was kinda in the same position as the polish one is or was now and it feels that the is2-II falls kinda into the same place + the double barrel stuff, so a bit better i guess.

[@bulldog2000]

Dam PC got double barrel tanks with quite a bit of ammo

[@antinotice]

Higher power to weight ratio actually doesn't matter because IS-2-II has 1,34 terrain resistance on medium terrain. So 703 II is not only faster but also more mobile overall - outside roads and city maps (hard terrain). So 703 II is better in every way, except DPM and accuracy... of course until they release 703 II (100).

I just couldn't get to like Tiberian Sun. I like the rest of the games, but not that one. RA2 was my game though... Had a battle with a friend vs 3 randoms at an internet cafe when it first came out. No joke, it was a 3 1/2 hour battle. All resources on the map were gone. Everyone had been hit with multiple super-weapons. Only one enemy had a nuke left, and it was charging. He put the silo deep in his territory, surrounded by flak everything. I thought there was no way to get to it, until I realized where he put it and I could manuver my harriers manually. I destroyed his silo with 6 seconds left. My friend and I raised our hands in victory, and I heard "S***********!!!" from the guy upstairs (yes the internet cafe had an upstairs and downstairs). 10 minutes later, my friend and I destroyed major buildings of the enemy's, and they quit out and left before we could come upstairs and congratulate them on a hard fought battle... I have always said that match should be on the History Channel.. 😂

In my opinion. 300 alpha dmg is the best you can have. well atleast up to tier 8 games. its not too low and not too high aswell. you dont have that long reload that you have with 390 alpha dmg, which means you can take multiple tanks at the same time, without them being flanking you cause of your long reload. to top it off the gun handling is usually alot better on 300 alpha dmg which means in trading with 390 alpha dmg, yoiu can drive out shoot and fall back to building quickly while with 390 alpha dmg you bounce.
