1:20 We really get to see how Gaijin treats USA in action. 120mm AP shell pens an IS-3, kills ONE crew member, no other damage. Meanwhile the T34 has a higher repair than the IS-3
0:02 Kinda why i never play with 7.3 heavies. Your armor is almost useless and sure you might bounce couple of shots here and there or survive a bombing but it's not really reliable. That's why i mainly play the BMP-1 no armor best armor.
Got my first nuke in this thing and in a full uptier no less! It actually is the first soviet tank at highier ranks that gets good armor again. When downtiered you can have an experience similar to the KV1. On a full uptier its best to take it out as a second or third respawn since most people will have already used up their heavy hitters. The reload and lack of gun depression and stabilizer can make this a really frustrating experience from time to time but it has a very good reverse speed so it suits a peak-a-boo type of gameplay.
Wanna know the funnest skill issue of this whole ordeal? When you play as Russian tanks and get shot in the ammo it's insta death BUT when you go up against Russian tanks and shoot them in the ammo nothing happens
I don’t get why people struggle in the IS3. Yeah it faces HEATFS, so does every other 7.0 heavy tank. I get that the reload is long but at least you’re immune to conventional AP, unlike other heavy tanks
It ruined the game for me. Big, slow, horrible reload and the max pen is 230mm. Shit tank. Not fun to face Cold War MBTs and get a heat round right through the pike of the tank. That’s the whole gimic of the tank is the pike.
@@Ben-mq8ug the maus is bigger, slower, and has less armor. The t29 has a worse top speed and only slightly better power to weight, and it’s taller. I still don’t get what you mean. The gun sucks but at least you have good angle pen and devastating APHE damage.
i was in a game with you last night! i didn't notice till after on the after action report when i was looking at the names of the guys on my team and seen yours lol.
ngl but You'd expect the 3 and 4M to basically have the same Volumetric bs as the 2 and German Panthers, but no the 3 is just cursed and the 4 is just a bit more challenging to play right. (oh and it's even more fun)
Malzi you need to set up a key to switch between MGs and normal guns that way you don't have to turn your turret when shooting planes with your roof gun.
Just aim for the turret, what you should be doing to any Soviet tank since the earliest T-34s and will continue doing until the modern tanks. But hey, if you grinded any faction playing against Soviet tanks since BR 3.3 and did not learn to shoot the turret you have a massive skill issue
@@grudgebearer1404 do you expect someone to shoot at the small turret mantlet when the tank they are using is unstabilized and the penetration is often mediocre while the Soviet tank is looking directly at them?
Anything that has HEATFS will kill it, no matter where they shoot you. If they dont have it, they most likely have some sort of HESH. First AP shot to the gun so the IS3 cant shoot back. Then load HESH round and aim it on top of the turret, in the middle above the gun. There is an "armour" plate and its only 20mm thin. Easy overpressure oneshot kill with any HESH.
I remember the IS3 was so bad i switched back to t34/85 on 7.0 br as back up cause: Mobility sucks reload time is insane and even if the armor is impressive on paper most of the opponents are tanks from the future with chemical rounds which oneshot you, no matter what. Worst heavy tank experience 😄
This is the same experience I when I first played the IS-3, back when it was 7.3. First 8-10 games I got rekt instantly. It was only on my 12th or 13th match that I first faced Panthers and Tigers. Both the Panther and Tiger II shot me and they bounced, I obliterated the Panther then 5 seconds later a Leopard showed up and ruined me. Strangely enough, I had more success with the IS-4M. Not sure if it's just luck or if the IS-4M actually has much greater protection, even while being 0.7 BR higher.
The turret of the IS-4M is actually thick enough at the front to straight up have HEATFS non-pen on it in a fair amount of cases. Its also basically impenetrable when it comes to most traditional rounds such as APHE and APDS apart from some of the really high pen outliers such as the German 128mm or the 120mm of the conqueror.
i aint never seen no HE in that before but it might be good though, my daddy know about it imma give it to him. HE. cmon now dont load no HE. you gotta put a little AP in that thang. WHAT!

They have better ammo, and few of them have good armour to stand 122mm ammo,.

HEAT-FS is the most balanced shell in game. Sometimes it works and sometimes not
This man tell the truth
1:55 poor R3 didn’t deserve to be ruthlessly killed like that!
Oh joy, new Malzi video on one of my favorite tanks. 🎉
IS-3 is at a weird BR where at it's BR, or in an uptier, it's armor is useless and has no mobility. In a downtier it can stomp hard.

Hello America with our T32 and M47 would like to speak to you hahaha. Same problem minus being literally nigh invincible to AP.
