Tank IS-2 guide World of Tanks

Overview video guide IS 2 World of Tanks - Master

So, quite a long time has passed since the introduction of a new branch of Chinese tanks. Many Chinese tanks are just a copy of their counterparts from the USSR branch, but there are differences . The IS 2 tank is no exception. One has only to look at the Soviet IS and IS-2, we immediately notice an almost identical appearance. The same side, the same nose at a large angle. The same tower and gun. Is that the coloring a bit darker. In general, the guide IS 2 is not much different from the guidance on the Soviet IP , who had this machine in the Soviet branch, will find much in common.

But do not think that IS-2 is just a copy. First, he is slightly smaller than his Soviet colleague. With all the ensuing consequences - it's easier to hide behind hiding places, higher imperceptibility. Secondly, they have slightly different running gear. Although this is not reflected in the TTX, however, the passability of the Chinese IS-2 is slightly higher than that of the Soviet IS. More "hardy" running allows you to overcome difficult places as well as on the Soviet IC, even with a less powerful engine. Finally, the third difference is a tool. The Chinese top weapon can shoot cumulative, and the Soviet IC of gold ammunition only podkalibernye. What is the difference between cumulative and subcalibrated? Podkalibernye can ricochet from armor, and their penetration at great distances quickly falls. Cumulatives do not ricochet, and from the distance their penetration does not depend. Considering that the IS-2, like the IP, has a fairly oblique tool, especially with the crew not 100%, shooting at long distances is unlikely to be effective, so the latter difference is not very relevant.

Armor. In general, the booking is identical. The forehead is 90 mm at a large angle, the sides are vertical and also 90 mm, the forage is 60 mm at an angle. Tower of the forehead 100 mm, side and feed 90 mm. The difference from Soviet armor - the form is more ricochet. Apparently, the IS-2 has a molded case. In general, IS-2 breaks through all classmates in terms of level. Vulnerabilities in the forehead - hatch on the tower and the hatch mehvoda, the bottom sheet of armor. The side and the stern to punch is not difficult. The tank rarely burns. Carry fire extinguishers there is no sense. Although, of course, some prefer to be reinsured.

Tactics. Any TT with a very inaccurate gun is forced to choose a melee tactic. The IS-2 tank is no exception. The melee is his hobby. The cannon 122 mm has a penetration of only 175 mm, which also implies playing at short and medium distances. After all, it is better to aim at vulnerable areas with thin armor at close range. Sometimes you can tank through the sides, put a tank with a diamond. It is worth remembering that with such a tanking, the angle of the diamond should be very small, because the sides are thin and almost vertical. In addition, putting your TT a diamond, it is worth remembering that the "headlights" are vulnerable. In general, tactics are the same as those of the Soviet IP. This option is not intended for shooting at a distance, his hobby is to drive up, roll out, destroy. Therefore, the game in the platoon will be very effective. Alpha damage from the gun is 390 mm. A platoon of three or four IS-2 can safely pick up the enemy's cords from one volley. Yes, and to push the directions better organized.

Prorolling will be quite difficult. Especially long will have to wait for the top gun. Riding a 100 mm cannon is not very pleasant, although it will not affect armor penetration - the same 175 mm as on the top cannon. The order of pumping is as follows. In the beginning it is necessary to pump the running gear. Then - either the engine, or swing the top gun. After all - the tower. The modules are standard for TT 7 - ventilation, senders, drives. Accesories - repair kit, first-aid kit, fire extinguisher. Since this is the first time in the Chinese branch, most likely, you will have to rock the crew from scratch. It is better to train at least 75% for silver, but if finances permit, then up to 100% for gold. About perks - the first swing repair, the commander to pump a light bulb. The second and third perk - the amateur. Most likely, you will already pass IS-2 by the time the first perk is pumped.

In general, the tank is quite interesting, the rebound armor, even a little cheat, and it is very pleasant to play on it. With a little skill it will be very interesting. With the introduction of the IS-2 tank, the world of tanks received another good fan machine.
