Vehicle Description

A Soviet heavy tank with a gun that can destroy low-tier vehicles in one shot. This huge damage potential is balanced by its low accuracy and aiming speed. Still, enemy vehicles will not want to tempt fate.

Historical Reference

Built in 1944, the IS-2 (IS-122) heavy tank was a modification of the IS-1. It featured a simple cast glacis plate. Elite Soviet Guards heavy tank regiments used the IS-2 extensively in the assaults on the fortress cities of Budapest, Breslau, and Berlin. These vehicles featured thick white stripes for quick identification by other Soviet tank crews. This vehicle, a tank of the 7th Guards Independent Heavy Tank Brigade, was made famous in a photo taken in front of the iconic Brandenburg Gate in the heart of Berlin.
