Don't you call my beloved IS-3 mid :( Yeah I do agree it's mid, the pike nose sucks bad but I prefer it over the IS-4M since it gets downtiers all the time. Some people say it's OP and shit but honestly it doesn't deserve being higher than the T29
Bro, that pike nose is utter bull. I was with the PLZ-130 the other day and hit that spot twice and got a ricochet both times. The angle has a weird effect on the volumetric calculations that's for sure.
IS-3 = Bad gun depression, long reload, loud asf, he can be played only on straight maps. + lowkey good armor, 230 pen, 12mm Machine gun, looks demonic.
The sad part is that for the year and the purpose it was made the IS-3 was pretty good (not counting the lack of space for the crew) as a breakthrough heavy WW2 tank, but in Warthunder it really suffers.
You could not be any more wrong. It’s already a volumetric hell for most things at 6.7, but to bring it down to 6.0 with Tigers 1’s and other US tanks is crazy.
@@Hobsz but it was previoulsy at 7.0 and it was just fine. Now at 7.3 it is facing a ton of stuff that can pen it far too easily. Either that or they need to buff the reload or that stupid front weakspot which is way to easy to exploit.
The is-3 is good until it gets destroyed from the front in the weirdest ways possible. I bet that someone has killed an is-3 in an AA before, and not even the post war ones. Like literally a truck with 50 cals strapped onto it
Is a decent heavy, but bullied by heat-fs and flankers. I only dislikes the hideous reload time. EDIT: In fact, at some point, playing heavy tanks is a disavantage.
Low level Jagdtiger playsr vs low level IS3 player, the ultimate battle 😂 Until i shot some super armored part on the is3 that i thought it would never go through (turret front) and it just went through like butter
I prefer the Is-2 1944 or the Is-4M over the Is-3 and 6 mainly because they can bounce shots and they are nimble excluding the Is-4 tho 😅 may not have the mobility but you have armor and also I got 5 nukes in about 4 hours of playing as the Is-4 🎉
@@Polarfuchs It's pretty strong even when you're angled a bit, the front is still 120mm thick and has a decent vertical slope in addition to its horizontal one.
Yourself and Dollar.. decidedly the most based of all Yootoob creators. Both unironically hate CAS, and prefer solo play. And that's not a "mid" statement, it's entirely Barack. Your dislike of Frenchiness is also very cathartic, I thank you in a most cat meme like way.
I didn't know a Hellcat could do that. We are reaching levels of mid that were previously thought impossible.
The premium bias always outweighs the Russian bias.

@@horizontal-human Of course they say it's OP, it's Russian. No don't you go and check it's win rate, I said it's OP don't question it.
the 122mm is quite........ weird. You still played well in this! (as in weird, i mean quite inconsistent. Volumetric is annoying )
BTWW WHEN U SHOOT OR SOMETHING U CAN AIM AT THE GROUND TO BLOCK THE DRIVER WEAKSPOT
Tiger 2’s first time encountering this:
First time I encountered a KT in the IS-3, he rushed around the corner and quickscoped the funny triangle
Same encounter just different tanks
@@PolarfuchsI aim for that funny triangle 😅
My first encounter with it in the king tiger I sniped its drivers port through a bush I didn't ever think I could pen it lol
IS-3 vs Jagdtiger
I personally quite enjoy the is-3, however, it does seem to get front penned in very strange ways regularly.
There are no misses, just warning shots.
No pen shots are just agressive headpats
Bro, that pike nose is utter bull. I was with the PLZ-130 the other day and hit that spot twice and got a ricochet both times. The angle has a weird effect on the volumetric calculations that's for sure.
Snail gonna make that funny triangle at least 100mm next update
This youtuber is severly underrated
so true
When the heavy tank from 70+ years ago reverses faster than modern Russian MBTs
Ah yes, the only tank in the game where BS shots kill you consistently, and your 122 gets volumetric'd 24/7
Don't insult meat dumpling like that.
The IS-3 is pretty fun for me. Despite having I think a few obvious weakspots, people still manage to shoot your best armor!
I used to dread fighting the IS-3 when there weren't any HEAT rounds in its BR
You dying to that hellcat was pure skill issue
1:19 IT WASNT JUST ME i had a french 100mm shell pen that spot magicly from perfectly straight on and was so fucking pissed.
As an American main, this thing is scary to all but 4 of the tanks I encounter it in
3:17 dude so real
The A2D and Wyvern gave me PTSD
comrade it has stalinium
I've been binge watching your videos man, really funny and enjoyable to watch, liked and subcribed right away
polar i adore your content i gotta recommend you the bkhan 1c 3.2s autoloader with a 155mm gun
IS-3 = Bad gun depression, long reload, loud asf, he can be played only on straight maps. + lowkey good armor, 230 pen, 12mm Machine gun, looks demonic.

POLARFUCHS PLEASE PLAY RAKETENAUTOMAT NEXTTT
I already made a video on that
Can confirm I was there
@@Polarfuchs okay then kpz 70?

The IS-3 used to absolutely terrify me now Im only occasionally frightened by them
11th time i ask polar to play the p40 (italian medium tonk) it has 264 gr of tnt inside an 75mm round
Me the moment i unlocked the 76 jumbo:
(IS-3, IS-2 and a TK(H) in a squad vs a lvl 34 jumbo player)
I wish this thing got buffed or moved back down to 7.0. It is one of my favorite tanks fr.
as someone who knows all it's weak spots, this thing is hard a f*ck to kill most of the time and will mostly oneshot back

@@U_Go_Boom pen it far to easily, have you played any non russian tech tree? (they do need to fix that front weak spot bug though)
@@ManySighs I just think it could be better. They should at least buff the reload.
Ironic seeing this because just today, I killed an is3 and is4M by trap shotting their mantlet before blindfiring an is3, who I trap shotted again 😭😭
All the things just happend so fast 15:04
0:37 Let Stalin aim for you
One time (several times) a Swedish T34-85 went through my drivers port. i hate this tank so much.
Very good video, you have very good channel
HEAT loves these tbh
I've never liked the IS-3, the IS-4 is such a huge upgrade for just 1 br step higher
Polar make a video on the leopard 1a5 pls
That Hellcat has to be a level 100 player
The IS-3 is one my fav tanks and i have got many clutches in it, IDC what you say it is not mid. Luv your content BTW
unenlightened, the IS-3 is mid

the true 1080p experience
It's insanely good you are WRONG
I know it's a pain, but in city maps i reverse sidescrape
Now, Polar. You are yet to make a video on the leopard 1.
Thing is this tank gets down tiers like crazy
I fought that in 6.7 a bunch
Is there like a hole in the armor where the plates meet? Theres no way that m18 just penned lmao
i like it because 122 and looks cool
I like the old war thunder sight more then what we got now, even wot sight is better then the current wt sight💀
You don't have to change the sight at all if you prefer that
frying pan turret tank
Hey polar are you tank? Because you got that armor to protect my heart
SO NICE SO EALY I LOVE IT
Is 3 turret is volumetric hell
0.20 maybe you don't need to angle did you think about that🤣🤣🤣
The OGs look at this and cry
It might not be great, but at least it looks pretty cool
THE BEAST
i played a lot IS-3 and i never got killed in that spot always the turret roof so its kinda funny to me but the best and my beloved is still the IS-8
Huh, thats a funny way to say Bias-3
The quality of french mains has decreased rapidly. Someone should check on the french factory
For sometime now I have micro stutters is there anything what helps with that ?
Day 2 of asking for the german Churchill thanks for hearting my comment last video polar.
It's an okay tank but honestly got major problems with its armor layout and reload time
Down tiers however good they seem always come with a stroke of bad look to ruin them
At least its better in war thunder than it was irl
its such a good tank... this HAS to be rage bait
Sure, just rage bait
*gets clicked on by a hellcat from 600 metres away*
The mighty Hellcat
what is the name of the sights that you are using?
It's just the normal sight with the turret indicator etc. turned on
Is a decent heavy, but bullied by heat-fs and flankers. I only dislikes the hideous reload time.
EDIT: In fact, at some point, playing heavy tanks is a disavantage.
Is-3 in downtier is like OP
Is-3 in uptier is garbage
Low level Jagdtiger playsr vs low level IS3 player, the ultimate battle 😂
Until i shot some super armored part on the is3 that i thought it would never go through (turret front) and it just went through like butter
Only thing im not a huge fan of is the pen and the fact if you get shot wiith heatfs your instantly dead
I prefer the Is-2 1944 or the Is-4M over the Is-3 and 6 mainly because they can bounce shots and they are nimble excluding the Is-4 tho 😅 may not have the mobility but you have armor and also I got 5 nukes in about 4 hours of playing as the Is-4 🎉
Where do I get the awesome sights?
In sight settings
I watched the is4m video right before this one xD
But late, but if dont like the pike nose go search Kirovets-1/obj 703 and pray so they add it.
i wanna your corsshair hahaha i love it
You can turn it on in sight settings
@@Polarfuchs o thx :)
Day 6 of asking for t92
a panzer 4 big pp can pen you frontaly
PolarFuchs dislike the IS3? Blasphemy
you would've already known this if you were present for the streams, fake fan smh
hahahahaha, no that didnt quite hit..... you could almost say that missed.
It seems I will never get you to play the M4A3 (76)😔
I killed two in one game by just shooting there barrels
"Eehe he he he"
I love your vids much love from bavaria❤
wtf when do polarfuchs become HUGE??? I remember when you still did barotrauma at like.. 500 subs ?? Idk gang
They grow up so fast 😞
The DSHK is the best AA gun in the game
The KPVT in question
But comrade the tank angles for you
Advanced soviet technology (you didn't perfectly face your enemy so you are dead now)
@@PolarfuchsCompared to advanced german technology (you didn’t perfectly angle your tank so you are dead now)
@@Polarfuchs It's pretty strong even when you're angled a bit, the front is still 120mm thick and has a decent vertical slope in addition to its horizontal one.
I always pen this tank with m51
Polar you know what other tank is offensively mid Comet 1( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
This thing is so annoying to fight
Play the Praga please
a vehicle being mid = good balancing, right?
You tell me if you think that a 6.0 light tank should be able to frontally delete a 7.3 heavy tank from 600 metres away lol
@@Polarfuchs definedly yes, but "frontally delete" is a strong word for a luck shot of a 1 in a 1000.
anyway, mid = balanced.

How the hell does a m18 pen that
I don't know, but your profile picture was exactly my reaction
The ZSU 57 2 can pen the funny triangle.
why didnt ypu use the IS tatcit
It's cringe
Downtier merchant
Ah yes, just in time for breakfast. Jpz 4-5 when? Day 30 somn
10:13 Russian bias !? 😱😰
I almost got a nuke with only the is 3 well i did get it but not all of it was with the is3 so not mid in my opinion
_purple pill_
Please play the su-100 it is really strong for its br
Yippie a reaction
No, it’s good 😞😞
