Phew that took some playing to get!

Why do you keep making me jealous.

The problem with it is that angling so that people can't penetrate your frontal weakspots is useless because they can penetrate the sides of your beak instead. The IS-3's strength lies in it's speed, spaced side armour and it's turret. Very much a brawling tank

The real IS-3 had a short operatering range and it ran out of fuel quickly. It's armor was mostly in the front and it's side armor was very weak. Anything an IS-3 could destroy, a T-54/55 could do better. Plus there weren't any HEAT rounds made for the 122mm gun.

I also heard that the beak proved weak to repeated punishment due to the relatively low quality of the welding techniques used to connect the three plates. Not that any of this really matters though since I'm just trying to defend the IS-3 as it is in the game.

You have to be brain dead to be killed by artillery now.
