    There is a much more efficient method dealing with IS-4 or Soviet 7.3-7.7 heavies in general that I've always used. Basically whenever you have to face them at 500m range, simply press J. That gonna costs you much less time

    When the Tiger 10,5 was 6.7, I liked loading APCR to suprise these heavies. Similar to the T95. They were suprised by how a Tiger II could pen. Got called cheater couple times.

      It's pointless to use the 105mm Pzgr. 40, which didn't even exist, over the 105mm Pzgr. Rot, since it barely penetrates more while the APCBC round overpressures on penetration.

      Neither how tiger 2's facing is-3's and 6's existed , if we want to play that game let's say the war continued the Germans would of kept making better tanks like the e-75 that was supposed to replace the tiger 2 the e-75 with a 105 gun better slopped 160 mm front armor and 285 mm turret would of been what those tanks would of faced in real life @@kimjanek646
      If they want to play the realism card then make it so that the tanks face what they faced in reality not post war bs tanks that never saw combat and were probably crap ... kinda like how modern Russian tanks are taken out by Bradley's crap ... Russian bias in this game is comical

    As a russian main that plays with german mains, I can confirm that these things are absolute nightmares. The MAUS is cool, but ultimately just a roadblock, when these things outrun some mediums. The actual nightmare fuel is seeing an entire team spawn IS3s, IS6s, IS4s and that one IS7.

    Nice video! Just one more tip against the IS 3.

      Also if you get lucky enough, you can shoot above the breech on that one 20-30mm plate. It’s so thin because it’s meant to be removable for maintenance, and rarely bounces shells due to how thin it is

      @jojomaster7675 8 місяців тому +2

      You can easily go through the driver's hatch. Not many people seem to know about it and it can be a tough shot, but it's a guaranteed oneshot. You should especialyl know about this if you're playing the IS-3. Always bush up your frontal plate and do the ol wiggle if you're head on with someone and caught reloading.

    • @alexmaximus9134
      @alexmaximus9134 8 місяців тому +1

      This shot is unreliable with volumetric. I use the IS-3 and encountered many skilled players going for that, and it never works. They either clip my gun barrel or their shot dissapears. And same when i tried to take out an IS-3 like that. Before volumetric, the IS-3 was a very weak tank because people would instantly shoot there and kill you with any gun. Now, that's not really possible anymore.

    Also there is one frontal weakspot on the is-3 that not many people even know about. If you shoot the cupola on the is-3’s left side (your right side) you can take out the turret crew. This is useful if you are in a situation where you are facing multiple tanks and disabling a tank just wouldn’t do. It’s quite flat so penetration isn’t too difficult at close range

  • @Trinity43421

    On the is 6, if you shoot the back of the turret you may not hit ammo, because experienced is 6 players only bring about 14 shells with them so their ammo is stocked in the hull, if you have aphe you will kill crew, if you have ap, just go for the midde so u can kill the breech

    • @alexmaximus9134
      @alexmaximus9134 8 місяців тому

      The tiger 2 H literally cannot see the T-10M in matches. The matchmaker pairs you with vehicles of +/- 1 BR of your max BR vehicle in your lineup. So the tiger 2 H can only see 5.7 (where it's just OP as hell) all the way to 7.7. There are 2 possible reasons you encountered the T-10M: you either brought a higher BR vehicle in your lineup or your squadmate brought a higher BR vehicle in his lineup.

    I think you forgot 2 vehicles. T-54 1947 (i think its the 47) it has pretty decent ufp angling and the turret can be wonky at times. The other tank is the T-10A a rarer tank but you still occasionally see them and they can be difficult to deal with.

      I tried to figure out how you are not being able to pen a T29/30/34 when you have vehicles like AMX M4, Charioteer, ELC unless your lineup is 5.7-6.0 in which you're gonna have difficulty in killing them.
      Here's my tips as US main at 6.7, try to get close to them, preferably flanking, to get to their side and aim at the center of the turret, aim the hull under the center of turret or the left cheek if possible as those are the spot where the ammo were kept, especially the left cheek as they are the first ammo stage rack. Unless your vehicles has a good shell with more than 200mm, avoid their visibility as much as possible, specifically when they are hulldown and at medium range and further.

      Idk what world ya living on but playing the Tiger II at 6.7 gets uptiered to 7.3 and sometimes.. just sometimes 8.0
      This happens a lot more then i prefer it did. And once i see a T10, its basically game over because most situations just have em hauling ass at me. I can go as far as saying the T10 is the bane for a Tiger II. IS-3 isnt so bad.
      Also the Tiger II(H) hasn't been down tiered. If anything they have upped its BR, mostly relating to the (P) version and then the Tiger I's almost got stuck in the same boat but they reverted it back to 5.7 and 6.0 for the Tiger I "E"
