IS 2 greatest tank of ww2

Nope, "Hail IS-2" is more like "Hail Satan" - you know, 'cause Satan is this pretty swell dude right, and also a God, and so is the IS-2. Gods of different worlds, like Satan is the master of the underworld, the IS-2 is the God of War, of WW2 and of Diesel and of Killing Tigers and being Awesome and so on.

Or like "Hail Odin". You know, 'cause Odin is a swell guy too.

That other guy, that the wannabe losers in those stupid skull-and-crossbones caps say Hail to, was just a wimp, just a loser from Bavaria with a stupid moustache that liked to Yodel, you know.

Don't be rude, Shadrach. In the Holy Church of IS2 we must give free hugs to our "wannabe losers in those stupid skull-and-crossbones caps" friends. It's not their fault to choose the wrong path.

Teach them, I say.... with love and lead

And Holy 122mm AP shells?
Amen to that Brother!

Or like a famous philosopher once said "Hug me, with nuclear arms".

IS 2 is far from a sel propelled howitzer its turret rotates at more then twice the speed of tiger 1 and 2 which is huge advantage up close, first shot first kill. IS 2 gun is a long high velocity gun and therefore not a howitzer. The tank is very mobile and reliable somethind the tiger 1 and 2 are far from being more like barely mobile pilboxes. HOwItzer ridiculous more of a true batlle tank then the tiger 1 or 2!

You are having a ****ing laugh there, the Tiger II was one of the first tanks to use hydraulic systems to traverse the turret, which made it able to traverse 360 degrees in +- 12 seconds (correct me if I am wrong on the number).

And please stop praising how great the IS-2 tank was, it definitely was an awesome tank, but even a Tiger I could take out a IS-2 when comparing the training that the tankers were given.

Also, the IS-2 was meant as an infantry support tank able to break fortifications BUT also counter tanks to a certain degree, it wasn't meant as a one on one tank killer.

Considering that theres 25 (somewhat) rounds in the tank doesn't mean that each single round would hit, especially if the optics are horrible.

You must not forget that the biggest tank aces are GERMAN'S, given the training, the quality equipment that they got makes it reasonable.

Also one last thing, the caliber of the gun (Being 122mm) doesn't mean that it is more effective at countering tanks, for example the Panther has more penetration power than the Tiger I has, but if the Tiger I penetrated, it could deliver more damage to the internals.

There is nothing on this earth that can not be solved with sufficient expenditure of small arms ammunition.

IS 2 is the best tank of WW2 it has much better and thicker armor than the panther in reality unlike in ro where their armor is about the same. IS 2 can penetrate panthers frontal hull armor plate from 1200 meters virtualy every time while the panther may penetrate the IS 2 frontal armor plate from only 600-700 meters thats huge tactical advantage for IS 2. An IS 2 may be able to penetrate a tiger 1 frontal armor plate from 1500+ meters and its slightly worse optics whould not make much differnce at all espesialy for skilled gunner. IS optics allow for engagemant of targets up to 3000 yards plus effectively.while the tigers prospects are very poor and unlikely at that range versus IS 2. IS 2 armor is much better tha tiger 1 which has 100mm max front hull and turret armor thickness at 0degress slope while IS 2 is 132 mm sloped frontal hull and well sloped 162 mm turret front. IS 2 versus Tiger 2 are about equal at all ranges except IS 2 can get turret on target much quicker giving CQB atvantage and tiger 2 is extremely ineficicient to produce 1 tiger 2 for 5 IS 2 thats just plain stupid and mere 400+ were built and tiger 2 cant go 400 yards without breaking down or getting stuck in mud hehe. IS 2 is clear winner!!! IF you dont belive check out site The Russian Battlefield.ru heavy tanks section
Beware the donkey!

Brothers! I have been reading the teachings of the glorious IS-2 (this thread) over the last few days.(This is easily the most amazing thread I have read anywhere) I feel that I have much to learn in the ways of the steel machine god, and seek shelter from the shadows of life and the Traktor Reich, will you accept this acolyte into thy fold?
