The IS 2's 122mm main gun could penetrate a panthers front armor, go through the engine block, and penetrate the rear armor in one shot at a distance of 1500m (November 1943 field test at Kubinka proving grounds[near Moscow]). To all those who say the IS 2 had a shitty tank v tank gun, look up your facts.  ;)

It wasnt designed for anti armor role but its shell was so big it just crushed the hull of anything it hit. Yeah I have no doubt it could do as you said , but did that test mention how many shots were needed to hit it? Im guessing a lot , or I call propaganda.



ACtually, all that crap about going through a panther and out the other side is crap. There was a test where the IS2 could barely penetrate the panthers front armor, due to horrible AP shells issued in 1944. However, its 122mm HE round could shatter the hull of the panther because of the shock it did.

and also, who does the ISU 152's shell explode so small? is it an AP round?

The IS-2 was a very powerful tank and could penetrate the front armor with impunity, also that account of the shell passing through the Panther was from a German troop, not a Russian while on the field but I still think that is bogus... I could see it possibly having the force to knock parts of the engine block out of the compartment, but not a clean through and through shot.

The IS-2 couldn't penetrate the glacis plate on any distance and the and the bottom front plate at only 100m.

The Russian armor is good, the support infantry is good, and the regular infantry is made for massive pointless spam, that well unless they arent being completly mowed down is very epic or anything at all. There was a volk squad or grenadeir squad I do not remember very well but I had 4 conscript squads in trenches arround each other the eviorment ones in Kursk and they got absolutly anihilated by 1 german squad untill I got a 120mm mortar which is the only way I could actualy hold the position were made. At best Russian infantry are target pratice and I do realize about 26 million Russian soldiers died in WW2 but cmon I dout the reason that many died is they couldnt take a bullet just as much as a german soldier.

Whats wrong with you people killing Russians :P
