Tiger E vs IS-2 - Tank Versus #7 

i love how the tiger became crewed by brainlets after the first round

As a German main this is true. If we talk about a non bias skill involved the is-2 clearly wins. Even though the is-2 is longer on its reload it’s most likely to take out the tiger on its first shot. But I got to say when it comes to armor layout both have a good amount of week spots. So while the is-2 is most likely to get the kill, the tiger has lots of chances to kill the is-2

I was hoping with this series to see a more factual approach, like comparing their stats more than having players fight each other

Next episode T-34-86 versus Leopard 2A4

Looks like Level 1's are playing on these "VS" series.

Man those looks like more than Review then versus, everyone have the strategy to destroy both tanks, doesn't have really matter what tank you are using but if you know to use your strategy with this tanks you will make the best gameplay, gaijin I believe you need to calm down because I think you don't have Idea what are you doing

5.7 vs 6.0 Nice work gaijin Edit: fixed to 6.0 but still, IS-1 vs Tiger H1 would make MUCH more sense than this

Nah, this not fair u gave the tiger E commander a kitchen chair and to the IS-2 commander a gaming chair?!

How much 🐂💩 do you want? Gaijin: YES

ima gonna be real, i prefer the old tank versus where they compare the essentials pros and cons (turrets traverse speed, acceleration, ect) than this new "skill" base engagement. in my opinion, there's a bunch of error that can be avoided easily in this series (like the tiger E shouldn't just peek out in the last engagement, or they should just pop smoke on the second engagement then close the distance through different routes).

I feel like they got people to use the tanks for their first times. They have next to idea about anything about specific weak points and strategies for the tanks, and only know about angling

The fact that this show exists, on top of the absolutely asinine scenarios they play out, goes a long way to prove the problems with War Thunder and how Gaijin imagines their game is played.

Yeah Is2 wins I dont even need to see the vid

Figured the IS2 would win, but the second battle where they both sat there not moving was a joke. Only someone without a clue of what was going on would do that.

It’s all fun and games being a soviet tank crew until you hear “ perkele “ in the snow

IS-2 is more likely a long rang vehicle due to is slow reload and amazing armor penetration

Gaijin raised IS-2 BR to 6.0🗿

Seems a bit unfair

Idea: compare say a stock British vehicle (maybe the Cromwell V) vs a fully spaded, 150 ace crewed vehicle (maybe the Pz.IV G, or better yet a full up tier premium, T 34 747 (r)). Now justify BR placements.

I think there cant be a comparison of tanks like this it always depends on the driver of the tank and how good he is, i dont like this shows a lot because of this

I main Russia and Germany, and as a person that has both of these tanks, the Tiger is generally better, but the IS-2 has given me more wins

3:24 ah yes my favourite stalinium, it was forged by my very own babushka.

When the tiger crew doesn't know how to angle properly:

I think a fairer versus with the IS-2 would be the Pz.Bef.Wg VI (p), even against the 1944 variant of the IS-2 I think it'll be a fair fight

L + where is trailer

Its all fun until the Tiger angles..

Honestly it all depends on who shoots first.But overall i prefer Tiger E as it has slightly better mobility ratio,reload rate and armor(when angled) than IS-2 model 1943 combined with it’s one extra crew member and superior optics.

Next round is going to be interesting. The rounded hull of the early Shermans is a massive liability if the Pz.IV gets the first shot, but there's plenty of vulnerabilities on the Panzer as well if the Sherman gets the drop on it. Hell, the sides of the hull on the Panzer can be penned by .50 BMG fire, let alone cannon rounds.

Typical German players, looks more like a skill issue.

Skill Issue tbh attack the d point.

The IS-2 was a typical Soviet/Russian product; great on paper, borderline garbage in reality. Even so, it was by far the best heavy tank the Soviets ever built - but that's not really saying much. It brought a big gun to the fight, but that's about it. It was a primitive vehicle, basically an upgraded KV-1 with a bigger gun and different armor layout. It was difficult to penetrate the upper front hull, but even non-penetrating hits resulted in deadly spalling in the interior, due to the very hard and brittle armor plates. The Soviets compensated for poor ammo quality by putting bigger guns on their AFVs. The 122mm on the IS-2 could actually barely compete with the 88mm L/56 on the Tiger 1 in sheer penetration. In one instance a Tiger 1 took a hit from an IS-2 to the upper front plate at just 25 meters, and the round glanced off the angled Tiger (Jentz 1995). The same Tiger 1 unit also reported that most IS-2s would turn away when they realised they were facing Tigers.

Please, give the IS-2 its real competition, Tiger II H. We'll see who comes out

that last death is like something I'd do when I have my brain off

Wow, what a surprise…

Tiger E: 5.7 IS-2: 6.7 Very fair battle BR wise... Even more proof we need German Tigers and Panthers BRs RAISED again! Make 5.0 playable!

this is more dependent on player skill then vehicle performance

The scenario of the game does not correspond to the truth of war II 01:46, because regardless of the thickness of the frontal armor of the Tiger tank, alas, even without piercing the armor, the hit of the BR-471B 122 mm armor-piercing shell of the IS-2 tank gun is a guaranteed contusion of the Tiger tank crew, as well as damage to the guidance mechanism of the Tiger tank gun. This is a contusion not only for the crew of the Tiger tank, but also for all the mechanisms of the tiger tank. In boxing, this is called a knockout. In general, without breaking through the armor, for a guaranteed boxing knockout, the Tiger tank and its crew had enough concrete-piercing projectile of the IS-2 tank cannon

Now let’s compare IS-2 1944 with Tiger II(H).

Love that the new 3d model is shown only in the thumbnail 😂. We gotta redo this fight when the Tiger Is get their new 3d model and armor model.

Yes yes Gaijin knows how players play the game by turning the is1 and 2 around

If it's tiger 1 vs is2 then I don't need to see the vid to actually know who wins, since it's not really a good comparison. But if it's a tiger 2 against is2, then that would be interesting

Really not surprised the IS 2 was made to destroy the tiger

What about the Tiger II (Production) vs 1944 IS-2?

In round 2, the tiger should have moved backwards to let the 122 fall short or at least against the hull front.

Angle is safe point for the tiger, and also plot for the video saves Is 2, no way is 2 taking me out when I play tiger e

Bro how is then even a fair macth up 💀💀💀

Trailer when

I hate how this series makes me feel like I'm watching something about world of tanks.

Thank for the good content

tiger even forgot that he has smoke lol

when i shoot the front plate of a tiger "hit, non pen" gaijin: oh it seems your shell has clipped a tiny corner so now your shell has disappeared into the void

indecisiveness killed the tiger crew in the final round. if the tiger crew used its smoke correctly it could have prevailed

i feel like the first fight was at least less scripted than some other fights we have seen but still scripted none the less the is-2 most likely would have moved out of that position.

back to the players, when Tiger encounters IS in close combat battle, you just have to be able to immobilize the turret from stalin and when you see stalin in a strange position, once again revers stalin's is a meme just aiming at machine gun sight

I dont know man seems like a skill issue not sure if this is the best way to rate stuff tbh both tanks are great though

Next B1 Centauro vs Radkampfwagen 90

The tiger E shud of hit the turret cheeks to get a crew knock out

Teaser when

Man even the Germans here are brain dead. If you see and IS2 with the backward technique, you break off and find another angle. Nobody in their right mind will hope to keep trying to pen that backward technique with the IS2. The third round is just a patience game. Just like German players who just thinks that pressing W will mean that shells will automatically bounce.

yea this is slowly going down hill

Whoa! New voice actor or something?

You made this video and yet the IS2 is 6.0 for some idiotic reason while the tiger is 5.7

Didn't I let you in the previous episodes. IS -2 gonna win🥰

T-34-85 or better yet the KV-85 or IS-1 would be a much better match to the Tiger 1, the IS-2 should versus the Tiger II instead.

Overpressure for the Tiger, yeah, right. More like it will just yellow the loader. Only thing that gets over pressure is the 122.

Btw pls we need to uptier the is2 to 6.3 and the is2 1944 to 7.7 so the germans will be happy

I don't know which is worse, the same arcade players opining how the tiger should have killed the IS-2 or the people brutally analyzing a "real battle" of war thunder

This is the issue. They only compared these 2 nations. And when one loses to the other it gets buffed. HENCE WHY ALL OTHER NATIONS STAND NO CHANCE

They should call it how to get one shotted

Better battle is IS-1 vs Tiger 1

Should have been Tiger 2 vs Is 2.

Day #2 of asking war thunder to implement a artillery system and new artillery implements in every tech tree

yeah i dont think a tiger would be straight upping an IS at range, theyd be shooting and moving to cover, likley not even dealing with that at that range, or atleast angling appropriate to the incoming round

Make sure to use german shell with 200g TNT on 🐅

I love tiger than is-2, i have 59-70% winrate with tiger, its more reliable, good armor if you angled it. IS-2 has excellent penetration but longer reload, and worse gun depression.

Hide em‘ cheeks

Shouldnt the tiger 2 be the counterpart of the is 2 ?

Like cmon the tiger crew just lost brains after 1st round. Why would u reverse and show ur front to IS.... and long range? maybe like...move??

The Tiger H1 had smoke why did it not use them.

The IS2 is great but the reload time makes me want to kms sometimes

my favorite vs. show

next match will be one of the "who clicks faster wins" assuming that F2 will be using traditional ambush tactics. If not M4 will win all except sniping duel. It's more mobile, stabiliser makes it shoot first during any encounters and i'm nearly certain it has better reload with same crew skill.

kinda feel that last battle was a little rigged , if i was the tiger i would have hit the track explosed on the angle and then flanked the IS for it to chase me and prepare an ambush . but thats just me

Its a little bit unfair the the is 2 was in the engine in front .

the first round the is 2 was using his tank wrong your supposed to have it front always

WHERE THE THE IS THE TEASER

If only they were at the same br

When Teaser?

Can we talk about how stupid these battles are? Second battle: IS 2 fires at the ANGLED side of a tiger, doesn't pen, then proceeds to load HIGH EXPLOSIVE? In any normal circumstance, if the Is2 player is caught off guard, only then the tiger wins.

Did the IS-2 win the second round by hitting the Tiger turret ring using a HE shell with 37 mm of pen at 1 km????????

I appreciate both since I use both tanks Both did good effort but in the battle against veterans players or new players, strategy matters most. Having your weak armor while angling will get yourself killed in one shot by any other round by any tank… i but the is needs to be careful too, it also have plenty of weak spots too

Why the heck are you setting side ways to a tiger 😂

Easy to kill a box tank

How about Tiger Panzerkampfwagen 2 v IS 3?

That whole fad of reversing IS-1s and 2s vs tigers and panthers makes me cringe, it does nothing to protect it from the one place you actually aim to kill them (turret cheek). PZgr (285g of HE filler) round straight through IS-1/2 turret cheek = instant death (regardless of what way they face their hull)....

this looks like if you put 2 sped kids in tanks and had them fight eachother

If I played the tiger that would be more different

The pz 4 f2 might win because of the Sherman's horrible armor.but ill be impressed if the sherman wins

First, I wanted to be toxic 😂

Am I the only one who gets reminded of WoT when the tank score is shown?
