💥 IS-2 vs Tiger / War Thunder

My analysis based on the video: The Tiger is a more versatile tank, able to handle many different roles depending on its layout. The IS-2, on the other hand, seems like it has a very specific playstyle: heavy artillery, able to stay on the move and soak damage where it can, yet deal precise damage when allowed. The IS-2 works best when either in the hands of a skilled operator or when in a team configuration. The Tiger offers more flexibility, and can be modified to fill any assault roles required, be they anti-tank, scouting, or heavy support.

[@spindash64]

50s are overperforming, to be sure, but not QUITE as much as people think. The reason they're so overpowered is due to them being the best MG in the game at holding kinetic energy over distance, which is important, since, unlike cannons, Mgs don't really spark. Also, any lack of HE is generally compensated for against fighters by a high RoF due to the large number of guns present on most US aircraft (read: basically everything besides trainer aircraft and a couple of recon planes), the later guns carrying better incendiary, which combines especially well with a gun with a high rate of fire, as it lets you roll the odds of setting things on fire more times per second than with, say, a hispano, and of course, the fact that cannons, in the current meta, are less powerful than they should be

[@HerraTohtori]

The Tiger is a 1942 tank, the IS-2 is 1943 tank. A more apt comparison could be made with the IS-2 1944 and the Tiger II (P). Even then, though, the IS-2 and the Tiger aren't that far off from each other in War Thunder. Comparing the two in terms of three important characteristics (and some of the less important ones)... 1. Mobility Unlike on the video, I think this one goes slightly for the Tiger's advantage. Yes, the reverse speed of the Soviet tank is quicker, but my feeling is that the Tiger can probably maintain speed better while maneuvering, and speed on off-road conditions matters more than top speed on paved road. Neutral turn also often isn't the fastest way to turn a tank around, and you can pivot a Tiger around pretty fast by slamming on the brake on one of the tracks. That said I wouldn't necessarily give conclusive points advantage to either in terms of mobility. Maybe half a point for the Tiger? 2. Armour This is where the Tiger's earlier design becomes a vulnerability. Undoubtedly it's weaker than the IS-2... at least in equal situations. It's chassis is basically a box with minimal angling. However, the IS-2's weird hull design negates some of the advantages of angled armour, and shooting through the upper hull is a simple matter if it's exposed. The turret is tougher to penetrate, though, so if both tanks are hull-down, the IS-2 has a definite advantage. Point for the IS-2. 3. Firepower This is where the different philosophies between Soviet and German tank gun design start showing. The Germans preferred guns that had good reload, flat trajectory, good accuracy at long ranges, and excellent penetration. The Soviets tended to sacrifice reload rate and accuracy in favour of more destructive shots. The IS-2 is no exception, and this makes it difficult to compare its gun to that of the Tiger. The IS-2's gun is undoubtedly more modern than the Tiger's gun, which was adapted from the (in)famous 8.8cm FlaK 18/36/37 gun into the 8.8cm KwK 36 L/56. The flak gun had been used as a portable anti-tank gun in the African campaign, and its success in this area basically started the design of a tank that would use it as the main gun: This eventually became the PzKpfw.VI "Tiger". In terms of historical comparison, the 88mm gun was known for being exceptionally precise and feared for its great penetration even at long ranges. Its relatively swift reload also meant that a Tiger could put shots down range much faster than an IS-2. However, at close ranges the IS-2 with its larger caliber gun could devastate tanks like the Tiger or the Panther, and especially in fights where terrain constrains the fighting distances (like brawling on towns or cities), I would say the IS-2 probably had the firepower edge over the Tiger. However, since the guns are so different and have their unique advantages and disadvantages in different battlefield situations, I'm not awarding any points for either. They are different, yet more or less equal in effectiveness - the Tiger excels at long range, the IS-2 comes to its own at close range engagements. I would also point out that the shell with highest penetration is not necessarily the "best" shell to use. In most situations, the PzGr and PzGr.39 shells are your "bread and butter" in the Tiger and the effectiveness of the tank really depends on these two shells. One has slightly better penetration, the other has slightly more explosive filler. Both are great shells. On the IS-2 ammo, you get a similarly decent selection of APHE shells. No big difference here honestly, aside from the Soviet shells having more explosive filler due to being significantly larger caliber. 4. Gun handling, survivability, and other factors The Tiger has better gun handling due to its eight degrees of gun depression. That's five degrees more than the IS-2 has, and makes a substantial difference in how far you have to climb a hill before you can shoot over it. In terms of survivability when a hit penetrates the armor, I would actually rate the Tiger better due to it having more crew members and more spaced out in the box-like chassis. In the IS-2, all the crew is pretty close to the centerline and very vulnerable to a single shot piercing the fighting compartment. The result is that I tend to see a lot more IS-2 tanks get OHK'd than Tigers - with the exception of ammo explosions, of course, which are pretty equal for both. This in my opinion is worth half a point for the Tiger. The total point score is... One point for the Tiger, and one point for the IS-2. Resulting in the usual conclusion that the tank's crew and commander are what really matters!

[@vargata]

and you are total wrong... an is-2 can just keep sniping tigers from a slight angle ground and the tiger will have no chance returning any valuable fire, the is-2 driver don't even need to aim, just hit the tiger "somewhere", anywhere, and its dead. you only talk about paper form, but the reality is completely different... the tiger would have to aim and pen the is-2 turret, which is not easy on a moving is-2 from a range, to disable its gunner but even then kill is not necessarily to come.

[@Tappettava]

Tiger is giant big box with 10% area of indestructible bouncing driver port. IS-2 is small and well angled with only a 7% driver port on the front which can be easily penetrated, but might also bounce. Yes the Tiger is great if the enemy gun is disabled or just keep shooting your bouncy driver window until they run out of ammo.

Or you could shoot the lower plate

[@fuzzles9246]

its sounds easy for you to say . litterally lower plates are small and sloped and its really hard to shoot at it from a long range while you're playig as a panther D or tiger 1 that its a HUGE tank where everyone can see you from far away while FV4202 is quiet lower . go check it out again

[@abercrombieblovs2042]

Personally... I favor the Tiger in general. Not because it's a good tank in general, but because all of its features and quirks that allow it to perform so amazingly well when you use it right. by that I mean using tactics and strategy besides 'hold W until you get to point, then cap it, then hold it, then spawncamp until win'. That's what IS-2's are good for. Me, I prefer finesse and style.

[@nolader28]

@@abercrombieblovs2042 I can't seem to understand what tactics do you mean. Tactics require team communication and coordination. Maximum one can do is to gather a bunch of people into a squad and play with voice chat. Then there's some room for tactics and strategie because I see nothing tactical in flanking on a tiger and using smokes to save your ass once in a while. War thunder is just very sophisticated world of tanks really

[@abercrombieblovs2042]

@@nolader28 Well, compared to what most players do, which is just hold W until they get to the point, it's pretty sophisticated if you ask me. My point wasn't really that - I was just saying the Tiger is so well balanced (in armor, speed, gun) that it's actually able to pull off some of those more unorthodox tactics.

[@gergotorok4317]

i like how they describe a 'heavy' tank by saying "if an IS2 hits you anywhere, you're a goner". i would also add that most engagements are decided after the first shot: the is2 can certainly 1shot the tiger, with a chance to survive a hit even if the tiger shot first. put it this way: even though they have the same BR, the is2 clearly has the advantage in firepower and armor. i don't think smoke is as effective as an extra 18mm of angled armor, and when 1 shot is all you need, the slow reload is not a factor

[@codemy666]

It's not a factor in 1v1 engagements ... Which in most cases don't happen that much as there will always be an another tank somewhere

[@manueladarnei7924]

The ap (armourm piercing) are the main anti tank ammunition but has low hit radius meaning it cant damage more enemies in a area the he (high explosive) are the ammunition used for infantry bunker busting and fortification destruction but not the main anti tank ammunition but it has high hit radium due to explosion so armour piercing is relatively better for anti tank and high explosive are relativelg better for infantry lightly armored cars and fortification destruction

[@mjlindero9065]

Autistic guitar you have to remember that War Thunder is a game, no matter how many times Gaijin would say it's a historically accurate simulator game, it's just a more realistic game than the other game. And with the fact that the Tiger's fate is in the hands of code, it was placed in a BR where it's armour is no longer a strong point of the tank. But, in 5.7 it can still use it, angled Tigers are headaches when I'm using my British 5.7 lineup and my US 5.3 lineup. 102mm of armour when angled is still formidable for anything that isn't an IS-2 or a KV-2. It's only not talked about here because of the Lolpen of the 122.

[@TheJessecarpenter]

The tirer 1 was not very well armored no, it was for shermans with 75mm guns sure.... but not a 76mm or 85mm gun, which was out by the time the tiger was in the field.

[@thisdude4421]

Well, the T-34s could actually mess it up if they got too close and flanked, and the 85mm gun just made it worse so the Tiger fought at range.

I say give the Tiger an extra point for it's reload speed, but this assessment is, truly, right.

[@billcarson8371]

The IS-2 tank was armed with a slow firing main weapon the D-25t gun. Ammo for this weapon was in two part : the cartridge case and the shell itself. The loader had to deal first with the shell, later on with the cartridge itself, making the loading procedure slower than that of the Tiger tank. There was another problem: The IS -2 carried a modest load of only 28 rounds vs about 68 rounds for the Tiger. Also the sights of the Tiger were better, giving the opportunity of better aim shots. With such poor ammo stowage capacity, the Is-2 was always under the logistic nightmare of running out of ammo for its main gun.
