The $2000 Tank I Never Play - IS-7 

How do you think the IS-7 fairs in the game currently? Personally, I feel it does really well against certain things and then an ATGM with a Tandem Warhead decides to run your day. Are there other rare/unique tanks you would like to see on the channel or possibly revisited?

1900$ for a tank! Dang, that's 190 times more than the total amount of money I have

I think Stick actually took physical damage IRL when he heard how expensive the IS-7 is...

01:08 "I need a lot of repair parts". That reminded me so much of all the parts one had to grind to get the IS-7..

After close inspection I can confirm that it is a tank

Hey it's me

So today I learned that the is-7 turret is very good, and the engine is outstanding at eating shells and only slightly catching on fire. Because holy jeez, it burned for a long time

Oh my god the ding sound effect at 1:28 is absolutely hilarious. I was crying when I heard that, it was so unexpected

_"The ~$2000 Tank I Barely Touch"_ - I feel exactly the same way about the AMX-50 Surblindé. It's fine for what it is and theres a perfectly alright lineup around it, but I barely play the thing. Once in a while I'll take it out for a spin and that's kinda it. It just sits there.

It makes me really sad that gaijin is punishing those who have put a lot of time and effort into getting these pretty rare vehicles! Object 279, IS-7 have repair costs of over 10k the US merkavas are pretty expensive to repair as well. They should at least be cheap to repair.

Now come on, let's do the Yag-10 29K truck since you've never done it and it's a great vehicle

I can’t believe that the IS-7 took a walleye, that really amazes me.

It's such an insane tank and with the object 279 and the t10m it's a crazy br. 😵‍💫

15:41 o7 Bo you took like 4 with you!!🍺

5:00 the t10s were actually the is-5s, though they did take massive inspiration from the is3 in the way that their armour was layed out.

That AGM took the saying "Warheads on Foreheads" quite literally.

"We got a tianemen convoy going here" is one of the funniest things ive heard today

I like how a typical response to this tank seems to be ink (smoke) like a squid and run.

famous last words from Bo, the fire got bigger

Hey Bo! I was wondering if you would ever consider bringing back the side-chat podcasts or the briefing room? I know they were a lot of work but I would love to see one of them make a comeback.

2:30 that type 16 just casually tanking a 130mm no biggie

Thanks for the new video! It made my day! Love you guys! 💜

The bit where you decide on charging without a functioning cannon between you was fucking hilarious.

"he touched the untouchable"

If only there was something... some weapon or tool the tank possesses- mounted on the turret roof, for example- to shoot at aircraft. Someone should invent something like that.

I hope one day these vehicles will become grindable again

See I think the Is-7 can still perform incredibly well at the moment, the round is about enough to pen just about anything you point at, then you have those two heavy mgs for light vehicles and tracking, the tank is incredibly fast both forward and reverse, and the Armor is still somewhat efficient at its br, albeit some rounds go through it like a knife through butter, but I find the thing incredibly good at surviving due to lots of crew and decent Armor - I spent £200-300 on mine and never regretted it at all, one of my best investments in war thunder

Love the video. The IS-7 is my favorite Russian tank. Hope y'all had a blast.

2:04 -1000000 social credit score

I believe that the IS-7 project was cancelled for many of the same reasons that the German Maus and the Ratt were, they were too complex, too labor intensive, too impractical and too expensive to build/ maintain.

Is-7 is when you mix Russian armor and cannon with enough machine guns to make a Texan proud

Bo consistently hides. Saying I will guard this corner while you go around it and die, or he says I will come and help you and never leaves the spot he is sitting in.

My god !!!! I’m glad I rarely fight it but when I do I smack it with heatfs and apds :)

1:07 Well I’m glad to see that the term “Sky Gods” is being acknowledged and accepted

The IS-7 was mostly rejected bcs not only it's expensive and complex, but also it was so heavy, that they couldn't be transported by trains, which were the main way of transporting tanks closer to the battlefields

IS-7 in war thunder: amazing IS-7 in world of tanks blitz: very very ba- *ammo rack explodes*

If I spent $1900 on one thing on a game, I better win every single game with every possible award

2:04 tienaman convoy had me dying

"Why did you anger the air?" best thing I heard today

Grinded that thing back in the days in operation summer with the Pak Puma if i remember right. Man i never yelled more at my screen while this event.

Lord, that thing can take a beating - IS-4M can too sometimes, when angled right. I've had times when using the IS-4M where I just take dozens of shots over a few minutes before they finally get me - After a little bit, you end up being a distraction to the enemy team and they're all taking shots. I can't do anything to fight back but it's just hilarious sometimes.

I love it when you guys group up and get bombed 🎉🎉🎉 hammered

Good work! IS-7 strong! ...except vs missiles.

Holy hell never thought I would see two is7s in the same game

0:49 never make the sky angy

I’m surprised that I wasn’t in this video since me and my friend killed more than 5 IS-7’s

Great video Bo! Keep up the great work!

1:30 when they hit you with that dollar store JDAM

10:02 I can just hear Gru from despicable me say “My turn” 🤣

"My Turn" was evil at 10:00

It was way too hard to unlock back than, so.... Also those "walleyes" are ridiculously underperforming, despite the large warhead. I even had T-55s and M60s surviving them.

10:30 Jeebus Stumling, how much ammo did have you crammed in that poor ZSU...

wait, does the tank really cost $1900 (real money)??

IS-7 is swole! 2000 bucks for a tank though... eesh. I mean, at least it is tough enough to get your money's worth. Great video, though! I may not pay 2000 bucks for a tank, but I would definitely pay at least that much to watch one of your videos!

I love this Tank! can you do a type 60 atgm launcher? it would also be cool if you did a combo vid with phly daily.

Love the vids Bo! Keep up the good work!

1:25 $2000 (that’s honestly insane) premium bias right there.

The patrol boat was ascending to heaven

The sound of the cannon is so cute! Dink!

Lmao “make an offering to it quick its a helicopter”

i remember when this event was going on. even then it was an insanely hard event

How about taking out an Independent tank? It's rare, and it will task you and TBLF's abilities to the max to get the most out of it.

3:04 almost 2 Months worth of wages at 17$ an hour in this clip.

"2:03": Oh my god, we're having like a little tiananmen convoy going on here: When one of your friend goin' dark and CCP have a clear target. Goodbye -999999 social credit!

I feel like Gaijin secretly stocks the IS-7 on the Gaijin store just so they can get people to pay them $2000 for a virtual tank.

The fact that people actually pay that much for a digital representation of a tank in a video game is just stupid.

I'll enjoy it through you. I'll play it on WOT console for the time being lol.

Stickboy got crippled when hearing that price

I just got a wt ad about the new update"direct hit". I'm so happy they added the new mig27m. I just hope they don't add any 4th gen aircraft like the f14 or something...would be a shame if they added the a10 with overpowered missles aswell

Dam you Sturmling and your Sturm-S on Vietnam!

THE Build Event Tank.

I bought my IS-7 for 20$, someone was selling it on the store during the event and i said. MINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then 2 months later i took a look and it went from 50-100$ up to 700-900$ Favorite tank ever. It performs well. I dont really feel like it should be at 8.3 however, 8.0 at best right next to the Object 120 and i think the object 279 should also be moved down to 8.0. If you ever want a fun lineup. IS-7, Object 120, Object 279, MiG15bis ISH It takes a bit of getting use to in the IS-7 when you are going up against stuff with thermals ect. you just need to play smart and play very aggressively while bearing in mind the IS-7 is a 70 ton F**king monster with over 1000 horse power and stupid levels of speed so use that to your advantage.

Imagine if the is-7 have an apfsdf

IS-4: development of IS-2 T-10: development of IS-3

Seems like its worth the price tag!

God dam is7 being 1900 dollars is insane

Tank autozone is called armor zone

The IS-7 dates to 1954 but technically the idea was in 1945

Considering that tank is my pay for for the like the next 6 months I don’t think I’ll ever be getting it

Another one of the event prizes I wish I was playing WT at the time to have had the chance to get and own :(

OMG i just realised that the gun on IS-7 is soo long

If these prices keep going up. You can buy a virtual tank more expensive than a T54!

Attempt #670: Please try out the Stridsvagn M/42 Delat Torn.

Bo this is a important question:Did the IS-7 also cost more then your car like the E100?

How the (F) did you survive a Maverick slamming into you and not detonate on impact, that is some lucky shit lol

I know the feeling.

Sturmling really made me want to have a burger king burger in that zsu-23-4

hey bo, whats up, it is me again. just glad to see another video. love the content and keep it up. have a great day also.

Hey as you take one of the greatest tank of the game for a ride, may one day you pick the amx50 "surblindé" for the video with THE rarest vehicle in the game

I want this tank so badly 😭

I remember when i wanted to buy this thing when it was like 50 euros or so damn missed out on a great opportunity

Ah yes, the power of artificial scarcity

man that tank can take some punishment. great video Bo and crew

I would love to have this tank but unfortunately I must choose between this or a real-world vehicle.

I love my IS-7.

nice if i have this IS-7 i would play him 2000hours and more to realy master him.

one of the few tanks, that are probably worth the 700-1000$ price, anything above 1k for an in vehicle anything though for me is unreasonable. but considering the literal 60-70 hours a week i watched people grind for this tank, and for some that did that and still not get it, its fair

*Begin Transmission* Day 22: You say that you barely touch the IS-7, Bo? Well, there is another tank you barely touch. The T26E4 Super Pershing is That Tank! *End Transmission*

4:07 kumala❤

I don't really care what people say these kind of rare vehicles need to stay high cost until the snail wakes its stupid ass up and makes them researchable....which would never happen
