  • A heavy, fast Tier X vehicle.

  • A tank universally feared and desired.

  • The oppressor of Random Battles and the best vehicle in the Soviet Tech Tree.

  • That's what the IS-7 was, a long time ago.

  • These days, the IS-7 is a little different,

  • but it can still surprise players.

  • Once there were two Tier X tanks in the game.

  • If you got car sickness when performing turns, you took the Maus

  • and slowly crushed everything in your path.

  • Everyone else wanted to get the IS-7.

  • New vehicles have appeared. They have better guns, and they are more manoeuvrable.

  • Some even have drums!

  • However, the IS-7 is still an interesting vehicle.

  • Why? It's not easy to answer that question.

  • Let's take a look at its characteristics.

  • Here's the most outstanding one!

  • Speed!

  • Yeah!

  • According to its stats on paper, the IS-7 can accelerate up to 60 km/h!

  • That's just 5 km/h less than the speed of the Bat.-Chât.

  • And rolling downhill, this tank does gain

  • quite a bit of speed.

  • However, it's not so great on flat ground.

  • In ideal conditions on the streets of Himmelsdorf, the IS-7 has a maximum speed of

  • well, actually, it never reaches its maximum speed! Never!

  • At best, you can get it up to a speed of 45 km/h.

  • In fact, many characteristics of the IS-7 are quite average.

  • For example, it has only 2150 hit points.

  • That's something you can live with, but the IS-7's gun

  • It lacks accuracy, its rate of fire is slow,

  • and its aim time is the slowest among all vehicles of the same tier.

  • So, if you don't want to drive yourself crazy, forget about shooting from long distances.

  • There is a ray of light in the gun characteristics. Its damage per shot is quite good-490.

  • Without it, the IS-7 would be better off ramming than shooting.

  • So, what's wrong with this tank?

  • Or, to be more exact, what's good about it?

  • Why is the IS-7 still popular?

  • The answer lies in its armor.

  • The armor of the IS-7 is not your normal armor.

  • The IS-7's turret is practically made of titanium and Superman's skin.

  • It has 270mm of armor in the front of the turret and a mantlet that is 350mm thick.

  • The hull pike nose will make the Tank Commander hoarse from constantly shouting, “Ricochet!”

  • The lower glacis plate is a weak spot. But if you manage to hide it,

  • the combination of the IS-7 and a low spot can do incredible things!

  • Here are 15 Waffenträgers.

  • And here is the IS-7.

  • How long can it stand against them?

  • 20 seconds? A minute?

  • Place your bets! Let's find out!

  • 75 hits to the front

  • and 42,000 of potential damage! And what's the result?

  • They've just scraped his paint!

  • The thickness of the turret armor is lower than the penetration value of the Waffenträger's shell!

  • How could it withstand those hits? Here's the secret!

  • It's all about the ancient magic of Egyptian priests

  • - geometry.

  • The armor of the IS-7's turret is sloped.

  • Although the actual thickness

  • of the armor is 270mm and less,

  • the so-called relative armor thickness is much higher.

  • The design of the hull is very interesting.

  • If the tank is directly facing the line of fire,

  • the armor plates of the pike nose are placed at acute angles.

  • That's why a shell will most likely ricochet.

  • And if it doesn't, it will still have to penetrate much more than the actual 150mm of armor.

  • But if you turn the pike nose to the side,

  • it will lose most of its magic power.

  • In this position, the armor can be penetrated.

  • And a hit to this area can blow up the ammo rack and tear off the turret.

  • The IS-7's turret is so good

  • that it flies off more beautifully than turrets of other tanks!

  • This is not the boring fall of the Maus's turret or of a strange French vehicle.

  • This is a show you can watch again and again.

  • So, about the armor.

  • The IS-7 has 150mm of armor on the sides.

  • Theoretically, that side armor should be easily penetrated by many vehicles.

  • In practice, it withstands hits quite well.

  • There were even rumours that the side plates were made of mithril.

  • But the truth is even more incredible.

  • It's hard to imagine, but the geometry of the sides is even more complex than that of the pike nose.

  • There's a line of armor angled at 45 degrees right under the turret.

  • It's hard to hit this line and hard to penetrate it, and shells often ricochet off of it.

  • And this is the most mysterious part of the side.

  • It's vertical and players are enticed to shoot there.

  • It has ruined thousands of hopes.

  • Why didn't it penetrate it?” should be inscribed on the side.

  • What we see is not the real side armor.

  • It's a side skirt.

  • It's only 30mm thick.

  • There's spaced armor behind it,

  • so it's almost useless to try to penetrate the IS-7's side with HEAT shells.

  • A HEAT shell first explodes on the side skirt.

  • A penetrating jet forms. It penetrates the side skirt

  • and loses its armor penetration value for the first time.

  • This value is equal to the relative armor thickness in the place of hit.

  • Then the jet moves toward the main armor,

  • losing 5% of its armor penetration for every 100mm of empty space it has to pass through.

  • Finally, the weakened jet reaches the main armor.

  • If the IS-7's side were oriented at 90 degrees,

  • HEAT shells of high-tier vehicles

  • would still be able to penetrate it with their remaining armor penetration value.

  • But it's not oriented at 90 degrees.

  • It's angled so that it has 250mm of relative armor thickness.

  • And this is true only if the hit occurs under optimal circumstances.

  • If the shell hits the armor at an angle, the relative armor thickness becomes even greater.

  • This is an invincible obstacle for most shells:

  • HEAT, armor-piercing, APCR, it doesn't matter.

  • The IS-7 is excellent at sidescraping

  • if it manages to cover its nose.

  • In battles, this tank rarely causes a great amount of damage.

  • For many players, this means it's a bad vehicle.

  • But this is not quite true.

  • It's wrong to say that the T57 Heavy is better than the IS-7.

  • They are different vehicles with different roles.

  • This would be just like comparing a truck and a Porsche.

  • Do you think the Porsche is better?

  • Which comes out better in a head-on collision?

  • So, the IS-7 plays its role perfectly.

  • The IS-7 is designed to be in the front line.

  • It shouldn't hide in the bushes.

  • Even though it only reaches its maximum speed when rolling downhill,

  • 40 km/h is quite enough to be the first to take key positions.

  • And its armor helps it to hold them until main forces arrive.

  • Yes, the AMX is faster, but it can't do what the IS-7 can.

  • The IS-7 is best used to break through or hold a sector.

  • This is a tank that has to play to its strengths.

  • It performs best at close or medium distances.

  • The gun is respectable at those ranges.

  • It's not a devastator, but it suits the IS-7 well.

  • It's accurate enough.

  • Great armor gives you time to reload and aim.

  • And if you are in a position to use sidescraping, damage per shot is what matters.

  • The IS-7 is quite good in that department!

  • The IS-7 is your vehicle if you really want to fight

  • at the front line and not be a support vehicle.

  • There's nothing wrong with shooting from the bushes at targets your allies are spotting.

  • But if you really want to feel how the armor of the enemy vehicles cracks, you need the IS-7.

  • It's fair enough that the path to a good tank be tough.

  • But this is not the case

  • with the IS-7.

  • The road to it is a transition from one awesome vehicle to another.

  • Many players drive in the IS-3 and KV just for pleasure.

  • So, put aside your doubts, and let's battle!

  • Bend enemy barrels and crush their front armor!

  • By the way,

  • this is the most beautiful heavy tank in the game!

A heavy, fast Tier X vehicle.
