War Thunder - IS-7 "The Mother of All Grinds!"

[@botimegaming]

One of the primary reasons the IS-7 was not put into production was because it weighed 65 Tons. At that time they had a weight limit on how much a heavy tank should weigh and it missed that number by almost 10 tons. This tank survived the Jagdtigers 128mm cannon during testing but also was immune to its own 130mm cannon. 7 Built. 1 Burned Down. 1 left on display at the same museum with the Maus at Kubinka

[@blackwhale410]

History with bo!

[@davidmcgowan3700]

Dat history tho

[@oscarmuffin4322]

There's actually some debate as to whether it actually weighs 65 tonnes. Some people believe that 65 tonnes was given in order to give it a better chance of being accepted into service. There's estimates out there that place the weight of the tank at around 80 tonnes.

Stop locust abuse today. Every day many of these poor locusts are dragged into higher tier battles by their “friends”. Once they enter the battle, they have to endure abuse from the enemies who tend to use them as toys, as their cannons can’t possibly penetrate the thick stalinium armor. They are eaten alive after the Soviets have had their fun. We must stand together to stop this inhumane treatment of innocent locusts. Thank you and have a great day.

[@DogMan077]

What would you do, if there was a locust right in front of you?

[@peterni9164]

Terrible argument I must say, you must not have experience low tier as any other nation than American, abusing Locusts? More like Locust abusing their speed and literally annihilating low tier. Notice: not a offensive comment, personal thought only.

I fervently hope that the Locust had all 4 of you scouted and whatever was left of his team was wondering how the eff there were 2 marked red enemies in a diamond surrounding their little blue friend, and he wasn't dying yet... ...also Bo is an enabler.

The Americans are on the radio kicking and screaming about some...heavy Russian armored tank. Well we're in a Centurion my good boy! We'll shred their armor with our sabot rounds. What are the Americans complaining about again? A IS-4m perhaps? No...it seems...new. They said its a new IS variant. Oh poppycock, every IS-6 looks terrifyingly new if you look at it in the wrong light. Where is the vodka drinking beast anyway? Direct front, 600 meters sir! Alright! I see it! Its a bloody IS-6 alri- wait. That has a lot more armor, where in hell did Stalin dig this up?! Gunner! Elevate! Loader! Load sabot! Alright! Fire one! *bounce* Again! Fire! *bounce* Driver!
