As a German main this is true. If we talk about a non bias skill involved the is-2 clearly wins. Even though the is-2 is longer on its reload it’s most likely to take out the tiger on its first shot. But I got to say when it comes to armor layout both have a good amount of week spots. So while the is-2 is most likely to get the kill, the tiger has lots of chances to kill the is-2
@CHAD THE BORIS I typically win when it comes to head on engagements against the IS-2 in my tiger 1, either giving them a hard angle from around a corner with my UFP, or a slight turn to throw off their shot making them hit a strong point on the tiger. However, these videos are to show which tank is better from its personality rather than a persons skill. Say 2 new players who have never played either tank or know how to go against them, the player in the is-2 will most likely get the kill unless he he misses the first show, then the tiger will have 2 to 3 shots in before he can shoot again.
Well the point isn’t about player skill, it’s about the tanks own abilities. A fight between any vehicle can go either way even if it’s a Pz.IV VS. a T-72. But it’s not about skill
@@minerkosk9786 what I’m saying is that you shouldn’t bring skill into this vehicle vs vehicle thing. Otherwise what’s stopping a skilled player from having the advantage in a battle where both vehicles are somewhat similar.
@@emmanuelbrown4342 because people keep wondering why there is no skill involved. In these verses episodes. People complained the bt-5 is superior to the a13 but really if they were put against each other with similar skilled players, the a13 is actually a better tank.

ima gonna be real, i prefer the old tank versus where they compare the essentials pros and cons (turrets traverse speed, acceleration, ect) than this new "skill" base engagement. in my opinion, there's a bunch of error that can be avoided easily in this series (like the tiger E shouldn't just peek out in the last engagement, or they should just pop smoke on the second engagement then close the distance through different routes).
I feel like they got people to use the tanks for their first times. They have next to idea about anything about specific weak points and strategies for the tanks, and only know about angling
Man those looks like more than Review then versus, everyone have the strategy to destroy both tanks, doesn't have really matter what tank you are using but if you know to use your strategy with this tanks you will make the best gameplay, gaijin I believe you need to calm down because I think you don't have Idea what are you doing
It's the opposite actually. At long ranges, you often need to shoot a ranging shot first (or you just miss your first shot anyway) and this is when having faster reload is crucial. At close ranges, where you basically can't miss longer reloads is not that big of an issue (unless you are facing multiple enemies, then you are screwed)

The fact that this show exists, on top of the absolutely asinine scenarios they play out, goes a long way to prove the problems with War Thunder and how Gaijin imagines their game is played.
The series doesn’t exist to show that a tank is better than another, so much as a tank has these strengths and weakness and how they can work in an actual combat scenario.
Idea: compare say a stock British vehicle (maybe the Cromwell V) vs a fully spaded, 150 ace crewed vehicle (maybe the Pz.IV G, or better yet a full up tier premium, T 34 747 (r)). Now justify BR placements.
I think there cant be a comparison of tanks like this it always depends on the driver of the tank and how good he is, i dont like this shows a lot because of this
But i think of you Are watching this as a Not so experienced Player you Will tend to Play the is-2 f.e. here and Entertainment wise Are enough shows around like the Thunder Show Or so
This series shows the strengths of weaknesses of tanks, not how strong against another tank one tank is. It makes a point of the IS 2’s good rear armour, reverse gear, gun and horrid reload as well as weak spots, and similar things for the Tiger.
@@cleverlaziness yea yea am outta here, not gonna start a drama again with a random human on internet, no matter how many times you reply it will just get ignored by me myself
Honestly it all depends on who shoots first.But overall i prefer Tiger E as it has slightly better mobility ratio,reload rate and armor(when angled) than IS-2 model 1943 combined with it’s one extra crew member and superior optics.
Next round is going to be interesting. The rounded hull of the early Shermans is a massive liability if the Pz.IV gets the first shot, but there's plenty of vulnerabilities on the Panzer as well if the Sherman gets the drop on it. Hell, the sides of the hull on the Panzer can be penned by .50 BMG fire, let alone cannon rounds.
@@floppi7098 The early Shermans with the rounded hulls can be penned by aiming for the corners if he tries to angle. Lost count of how many I've killed that way.
i feel like the first fight was at least less scripted than some other fights we have seen but still scripted none the less the is-2 most likely would have moved out of that position.
If it's tiger 1 vs is2 then I don't need to see the vid to actually know who wins, since it's not really a good comparison. But if it's a tiger 2 against is2, then that would be interesting
@@SirCabooseCCCP true. However for the tiger to actually stand a chance you need to play the mobility game, which is fine since the tiger 1 is a really mobile heavy tank. But it stands no chance frontally even if it angled
when i shoot the front plate of a tiger "hit, non pen" gaijin: oh it seems your shell has clipped a tiny corner so now your shell has disappeared into the void
The scenario of the game does not correspond to the truth of war II 01:46, because regardless of the thickness of the frontal armor of the Tiger tank, alas, even without piercing the armor, the hit of the BR-471B 122 mm armor-piercing shell of the IS-2 tank gun is a guaranteed contusion of the Tiger tank crew, as well as damage to the guidance mechanism of the Tiger tank gun. This is a contusion not only for the crew of the Tiger tank, but also for all the mechanisms of the tiger tank. In boxing, this is called a knockout. In general, without breaking through the armor, for a guaranteed boxing knockout, the Tiger tank and its crew had enough concrete-piercing projectile of the IS-2 tank cannon
back to the players, when Tiger encounters IS in close combat battle, you just have to be able to immobilize the turret from stalin and when you see stalin in a strange position, once again revers stalin's is a meme just aiming at machine gun sight
@@tobuutv4825 The 122mm was not a good AP gun . It was more an infantry support tank with big HE shells , the pen values in WT are way overrated . Well balance you know .
I don't know which is worse, the same arcade players opining how the tiger should have killed the IS-2 or the people brutally analyzing a "real battle" of war thunder
@@SirCabooseCCCP one has a much better gun... wouldn't is-1 be the good counterpart? Same armour and same mobility like is-2 and a gun similar to the tigers 88mm
The IS-2 was a typical Soviet/Russian product; great on paper, borderline garbage in reality. Even so, it was by far the best heavy tank the Soviets ever built - but that's not really saying much. It brought a big gun to the fight, but that's about it. It was a primitive vehicle, basically an upgraded KV-1 with a bigger gun and different armor layout. It was difficult to penetrate the upper front hull, but even non-penetrating hits resulted in deadly spalling in the interior, due to the very hard and brittle armor plates. The Soviets compensated for poor ammo quality by putting bigger guns on their AFVs. The 122mm on the IS-2 could actually barely compete with the 88mm L/56 on the Tiger 1 in sheer penetration. In one instance a Tiger 1 took a hit from an IS-2 to the upper front plate at just 25 meters, and the round glanced off the angled Tiger (Jentz 1995). The same Tiger 1 unit also reported that most IS-2s would turn away when they realised they were facing Tigers.
Man even the Germans here are brain dead. If you see and IS2 with the backward technique, you break off and find another angle. Nobody in their right mind will hope to keep trying to pen that backward technique with the IS2. The third round is just a patience game. Just like German players who just thinks that pressing W will mean that shells will automatically bounce.
The point of the backward technique is that the IS-2 eliminates its frontal weakspots. It's a great technique on open maps where enemies can't hide as much even if they disable the engine.
next match will be one of the "who clicks faster wins" assuming that F2 will be using traditional ambush tactics. If not M4 will win all except sniping duel. It's more mobile, stabiliser makes it shoot first during any encounters and i'm nearly certain it has better reload with same crew skill.
Ah yes, the IS-2 is famous for its stabiliser, APFSDS, thermal optics, composite armour and FCS. Seriously if you struggle killing IS-2s thats a skill issue my friend, they are easy to kill if you have more than 5 brain cells
kinda feel that last battle was a little rigged , if i was the tiger i would have hit the track explosed on the angle and then flanked the IS for it to chase me and prepare an ambush . but thats just me
I love tiger than is-2, i have 59-70% winrate with tiger, its more reliable, good armor if you angled it. IS-2 has excellent penetration but longer reload, and worse gun depression.
Rethinking the idea that Gaijin should abandon the spreadsheet BR decider for one based on devs actually using the vehicles… if this is how they would use them anyway.
Stop this sarcasm... but there are some tanks, that really need a rebalance.. like ratel20 from 70's with Milan atgm at 6.7 🤣 or ikv 91 from 60's at 7.0 with heatfs and laser rangefinder, which can fight 6.0 tanks from 1943-1945 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I appreciate both since I use both tanks Both did good effort but in the battle against veterans players or new players, strategy matters most. Having your weak armor while angling will get yourself killed in one shot by any other round by any tank… i but the is needs to be careful too, it also have plenty of weak spots too
The Is2 is the best way to use is with the engine in front and reversing, the engine absorbs all the spall from any shell that's aphe and not solid or apds.
yeah i dont think a tiger would be straight upping an IS at range, theyd be shooting and moving to cover, likley not even dealing with that at that range, or atleast angling appropriate to the incoming round
For once, these two tanks are pretty equal : the same armor (in general), the IS-2 has a better gun and penetration but the Tiger has a way shorter reload with a gun a little bit less powerful. But I'm glad to see my soviet boy wins ! 😆
i love how the tiger became crewed by brainlets after the first round

@@SirCabooseCCCP Those two tanks don't are even in the same br. Also Is-2 have far Better gun and armor.
@@Chronesys Dude Tiger can front kill is is can front kill tiger
So it really doesn’t matter
@@Chronesys and 0.3 br difference clearly they will never fight each other ingame
Can you do Centurion Mk 1 vs Panther?
my favorite vs. show
why dont you make 1v1 gamemode?
kinda feel that last battle was a little rigged , if i was the tiger i would have hit the track explosed on the angle and then flanked the IS for it to chase me and prepare an ambush . but thats just me
How about Tiger Panzerkampfwagen 2 v IS 3?
Day #2 of asking war thunder to implement a artillery system and new artillery implements in every tech tree
Overpressure for the Tiger, yeah, right. More like it will just yellow the loader. Only thing that gets over pressure is the 122.
Next B1 Centauro vs Radkampfwagen 90
Where teaser
Why did the tiger won in your first vs a few years ago?
Am I the only one who gets reminded of WoT when the tank score is shown?
I love tiger than is-2, i have 59-70% winrate with tiger, its more reliable, good armor if you angled it. IS-2 has excellent penetration but longer reload, and worse gun depression.
Rethinking the idea that Gaijin should abandon the spreadsheet BR decider for one based on devs actually using the vehicles… if this is how they would use them anyway.
where thunder show?
Shouldnt the tiger 2 be the counterpart of the is 2 ?
No, the is2 1944
@@MiG21fanboy Thats like saying tiger 2h and tiger 2p. Still a Tiger 2 in that case. Is2 = Is2

Make sure to use german shell with 200g TNT on 🐅
did the players do paper scissors rock on the third round? that was a stalemate position, the winner was going to be the one that didn't move.
Btw pls we need to uptier the is2 to 6.3 and the is2 1944 to 7.7 so the germans will be happy
Stop this sarcasm... but there are some tanks, that really need a rebalance.. like ratel20 from 70's with Milan atgm at 6.7 🤣 or ikv 91 from 60's at 7.0 with heatfs and laser rangefinder, which can fight 6.0 tanks from 1943-1945 🤣🤣🤣🤣
What if you guys add the B-36j to war thunder?
I appreciate both since I use both tanks
Both did good effort but in the battle against veterans players or new players, strategy matters most. Having your weak armor while angling will get yourself killed in one shot by any other round by any tank… i but the is needs to be careful too, it also have plenty of weak spots too
The Tiger H1 had smoke why did it not use them.
Because gaijin let's total noobs playing these "versus" matches
The Is2 is the best way to use is with the engine in front and reversing, the engine absorbs all the spall from any shell that's aphe and not solid or apds.
Brits laughing in Sabot and solid shot
Just bounce your shell under it ^^ goodbye is-2
Like cmon the tiger crew just lost brains after 1st round. Why would u reverse and show ur front to IS.... and long range? maybe like...move??
yeah i dont think a tiger would be straight upping an IS at range, theyd be shooting and moving to cover, likley not even dealing with that at that range, or atleast angling appropriate to the incoming round
this looks like if you put 2 sped kids in tanks and had them fight eachother
Q: Are shots actually affected in cold/hot maps? (ground)
yes they are
Slightly yeah
If I played the tiger that would be more different
For once, these two tanks are pretty equal : the same armor (in general), the IS-2 has a better gun and penetration but the Tiger has a way shorter reload with a gun a little bit less powerful.
But I'm glad to see my soviet boy wins ! 😆
IS-2 vs Tiger II?
Not fair
Shouldn't it be is1 vs tiger E and is2 vs tiger II?
Ayo is there a way to be one of the tankers in this show?
Can you do plane versus?
The only reason the tiger didn't win was because the IS 2 had a 40 millimeter gunsize diference
