Yes it can although in a lesser extent than in 1.500, where the sdkfz. 234 didn't have a chance. In the next patch the match between these units should be fairer though.

Isn't the IS-2 like a buildable Tiger?

IS-2 should match a panther. IS-3 should match a Tiger cause they are both callins.

IS-3 should match KT/ TA as they are a 1 time call in.

He didn't say KT, the KT should still hold power against all heavy tanks, so should the JP5.

IS-2 should match PBG, not the Panther. IS-2s will win in 1v1 with Panthers. In a 2v1 situation it's a toss-up. Unless you have incredible micro, you can not kill a IS-2 with a Panther alone. You'd need some other type of AT support. (I've managed to kill 2 IS-2s from Dennis with a single Panther.) This does not work with the IS-2 has Vet, you definitely need 2 Panthers

WHy does the IS-2 perofrm so much better than a Panther? I thought they cost the same (speaking from that point). IDK what they difference in teching is (cost wise) but I'd imagine its similar  :P

A large part of it boils down to luck. If your IS-2 shots bounce of the panther thrice while the panther penetrates thrice, you can kiss your IS-2 goodbye. It is WAY better against PE blobs tho.

WAT ???

Whats so suprising about this? Tiger get pre purchased vet and has better armor and more health IIRC. And it may do more dmg (not actually sure about that one). And its a call in that cost more :P

No, I was reading about the IS-2 in Wikipedia and it came as a shock to me.

Realism =/= balance

IS-2 would beat a Tiger in reality, and would probably be on an equal footing with an OH Tiger but a Wehr Tiger will outmatch it.
