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

Interested in purchasing something from the War Thunder Store? You can use this link and get a 3% discount on your next purchase: goo.gl/mqVkc6
Over a thousand horsepower, covered in machine guns, 10 second reload on a 130mm cannon, keeps up or passes light tanks on the battlefield, and has enough armor to take one to the face and keep chugging. The tank is as fantastic as you would expect. Sadly there is a hole where my soul used to be. I didn't think the grind could be as bad as people where predicting. I can tell you its every bit as bad as you can imagine and more. I can get behind an event that makes something rare and hard to get. Something for your die-hard players to chase after.... just don't kill your players in the process.

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.

[@jmartin5899]

[@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.

[@OnlyHereForCake]

More sensible events for a more sensible tank maybe, lest the IS-7 become the KV-1B or other FoTM of its tier.

[@Acerrzzz]

could never become a kv1b. Majority of tanks at its BR can penetrate it one was or another

Jeez it can move backwards faster than it can move forwards That “handy dandy” thing in the back of your tank is like a primitive auto loader

[@panthercommander637]

Jy Walker1603 that’s what happens when you have a stalinium armored beast pumping vodka bottles and baked potatoes into the exhaust you get the most powerful tank ever........ it’s true just ask Stalin’s fridge with a cannon (kv2)

[@panthercommander637]

Especially operated by bo and loli screams powering the radio

[@JyWalker1603]

[@panthercommander637]

Lol it’s a joke about the world of tanks game a lot of people with high tier Russian tanks joke about how it’s vodka powered with potato’s because it’s a typical Russian stereotype

[@JyWalker1603]

[@flyawaytodie]

That Locust's antics might just be the greatest WT scene ever, after TBLF's KV-1 gave birth to an ASU-57.

[@stefanamacker]

Stronger armor as a Maus, fast like a light tank, 10second self-loader = IS7. And all this on 8.0 ^^ Now you see, what one IS7 can do. But remember, in the future, maybe you will see 2,3,5 ore more per team ^^

[@NarcassiticGamer]

Stefan87 You really overestimate how many people were willing to grind this monster.

[@stefanamacker]

NarcassisticGamer Today 2 players in my team still played the IS7, we win the match in under 5min, thx to the IS7 players.

[@Angel51WolfintheMist]

This is normal for new tanks. Once people learn where to hit it it will die just like the IS6. I've already taken one out with my Tiger II

Next time you take out the IS-7 you should also take out the SU-100Y for that dual 130mm naval cannon combo.

[@TeaRexChannel]

I tried to do the grind for this tank....but no...just no...I really hope that Gaijin learns from this, but they probably wont. Either way, I got to enjoy the tank via you guys, so I'm happy! Awesome video as always :D

*British tanker crew of a Centurion mk. 10 encountering a IS-7* Commander, does things sound too quiet to you? I don't know driver. Radio operator, do we have any contacts in the area? Yes commander! 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!
