IS-3: Still Packs A Punch! | World of Tanks

[@-redacted]

One of the really rare well balanced tanks (it must say "hello" to the "balance" of bz176)

[@eugenealioshka4650]

It's good to know you're human, like the rest of us and get those lower dmg games once in a while

[@everythinggaming7938]

i like how you show average games too and do not just show your very best ones

[@hodgeman]

The IS-3 taught me a lot about world of tanks and how much damage is needed to do your part for the team. It always had nice Penetration (probably not so good now, with all the new tanks).

[@robdredd2094]

Problem is not his pen especially with gold but to hit the small capolas of the new hulldowns

[@hodgeman]

@@robdredd2094 i stopped playing years ago, when the bought tanks became just better then the normal tanks, like you said, only cupola weakness's and needing gold to pen the insane front and side armor

[@robdredd2094]

Still i think he can stand his ground rly gud against most opinions and its fairly easy to use im pretty nooby with 4500 battles and he is more accessible than the obj703 i got, probably because i mismanage my long reload times on the premium and is 3 is almost idiot proof kick the door down tank

[@dusanokic869]

Poor Tiger little P😂😂

[@kevinhenderson9488]

I was so proud back I when I did the grind and earned a IS-3. I was in heavy heaven and then out of nowhere the Defender was introduced in the Premium Shop. I wish I’d learned my lesson and just stopped grinding, but no. I only came back for the Anniversary specials, cooped myself some premium time and when it runs out tomorrow, perhaps I’ll be back for Christmas. I shake my head every time I see a BZ with rockets in its ass; really WG?

[@FramedFreddy]

The defenition of a brawl tank.

[@Scott-qv4nj]

I played 2 hours yesterday skill and lost 11 straight while doing over 1k damage in almost every matchup. Then I had 3 straight games of 14-14 which made me want to gouge out my eyes. Of course at the end of the day in 35 battles I had 16 wins. Matchmaking is very bogus lastly where tanks that are equal type and tier are facing tanks with 60% win ratio even regardless of the fool playing them. They have to start taking into account the win ratio on some of these tanks. When a tank has 65% wins (PZ V/IV) you know which way the wind blows. When the opponent has 2X BZ-176 and you have 2X CS-53s as our top tanks you know what is up.

[@Skullmember]

If you do 1k dmg in tier 8 and above its not enough damage that's part of the reason you lose. But there are days when you will lose even doing 5k plus or more dmg

[@iainansell5930]

[@niklask1651]

Saw a stream couple of days ago and they were talking about round time😂 and they said they are happy with 3min games bc everything over 5 is shit ass boring.. and the whole chat agreed....never thought people out there would support 3min games

[@NotLikethisComrade]

The biggest problem with this part is the tower roof...everyone...really everyone is giving you Hulldown. This weak spot MUST disappear! World of Tanks Blitz did it right and made this weakspot 160mm thick. And the upper hull is also a problem....it's so soft that half of Germany will hammer you through with an air rifle....the upper hull is actually so soft that people will come through the non-angled delta armor if you shoot straight at it an IS or IS-2 with its ridiculous 175 penetration has a 50-75% chance of knocking through. The upper hull definitely needs to be made stronger by 140-170mm and the tower roof weakspot must disappear. And the Alpha could also use a buff from 390 to 440! Mobility can remain as it is. I've taken it out again the last few days and I'm extremely positively surprised at how well it still performs...., the cannon hits its shots well, you rarely need APCR and the turret armor is also a real announcement at level 8. Hardly had it today I had a round where I left the round with less than 2000 damage and I almost only had 8-man only battles or was matched against level 10. The side armor is still extremely good and you can do great reverse sidescraping. Still a great tank that I personally, some will say, find it better than the Object 252U/Defender.

[@lucille284]

Couldn't agree more about balance. Been playing lower tiers on purpose so I don't get blamed for messing up a game. Self admission: Not the greatest player on the field.

[@aleksandarpetrovic5727]

Just do a chat mute, you'll never get better playing against worse ppl nor is it fun for them, you escaped high tiers to avoid better players than you but forced yourself onto worse players that can;t play even lower tiers If they want to advance in the game.

[@lalruotlien2755]

Someone please advice me on how to grind tech tree. Do I grind one line or multiple line(2/3), because I'm now having tier viii, and tier ix is damn expensive...and I'm bored of the tanks I have. I currently grind fv215b. And I find USSR and German tank looks enjoyabl???

[@bellum_7997]

Mate, what wot version are u playing fv215b(british heavy) it's a reward tank bought for bonds, you need a tier 10 to make bonds like S. Conqueror

I thought only I was getting this very bad match making its like one session is mostly wins 5 mins games the other is mostly loss 3 min games its so weird lately Im going to take a few days break hopefully idk mm just fixes a bit somehow but I dont know what's happened like the past few days/week

[@heheheha6942]

nahh, thats just the nowadays wot.. it will never change it will just get worse.. soon it will be 3 second games

[@m1.r0_bot]

there is more and more faster vehicles in patches. slow tanks are getting faster and nowadays we have a turbocharger and stuff . . . you remember those days when t95 had like 12 km/h top speed? (i think it was 12 or smth like that) but on the other hand it was much harder to deal with (better armor and enemies had worse penetration) also gold ammo ignoring almost all armor and costing only silver is also part of the issue

[@vprosilis]

Skieeel !!!! that 5-15 Sim already crimpled the game, people screaming for this the last year, now is up to the game to decide if you will be good or bad player, because if you are on the 5-15 side you cannot do any damage and when you are on 15-5 side you don't have the time to perform good, unless, you have a op,meta, broken tank, maybe. Now algorithm is deciding how good will be in game, and wg still want to get our money out of it. The average player is a matter of time to go to another harbor to anchored....have good luck with Chieftain journey!

[@gfgraeff2068]

Hey Skill in your opinion why it is so difficult for them to fix 15-5 simulator? I think it is hard RNG influence, like one side gets all, the other side gets nothing! Thank you man!

It has an awesome turret, Very good tank for sidescrap . But the gun... oh my god it trolls me so much i hate it . Aiming takes forever and shooting someone from 100m or more is awful . Overal i hate this tank . But maybe because im used to the Gun handling of a Tiger II or Caernevoran. I hope that T10 is better because I want to unlock it .

Oh no, no, no. IS-3. I had 2 years break from WoT, before the break I loved IS-3, after I came back to the game It was pure misery playing with this tank. Gun handling suck, hull armor suck (unless you play against tier 6), no gun depresion and the only good thing about this tank is the turret armor but it's hard to use effectively. Sidescrapping is impossible.
