Another thing is that the Is-6 is the fastest reloading (manually) 122mm's in the game. Edit: The T-10M has the fastest reloading 122mm in the game. (As said by ccaraa772 in the replies.)
I'd prefer object 120 or T55am1 over the is6, because it is unstablized, long reload, the barrel is where you will get hit first everytime and heat-fs is a thing which goes through it like its nothing. Should reconsider carefully before buying it
bruh when you are scared stay at spawn and snipe if you turn your inner beast you can dominate all the time i get 100k every battle i play but i got use to it i have 200+ games on is-6
They added the br417D shell to the IS-6. Yes when it comes up against 8.0 Cold War tanks it’s outgunned. However, that being said you can still be incredibly affective if you know where to shoot. Your armor gives you every chance in the world to fire back accurately. It’s a phenomenal tank and is completely unfair in a down tier.
it’s armor is pointless everything has HEAT and APDS I’ve survived more shot in the German TURMIII because at least light tanks spall less and have a chance not to mention even if a shot doesn’t pen you it will still destroy your breach or barrel
why is no one talking about the extra plate at the turret when it got added? No one could penetrate it and we needed data miner to find this "bug" so after a ton of complains it was finally removed
the french somua is the best french premium bro i bought it and did my first nuke with it. It is very powerful and allowed me to grind the frnech until the Amx40
I bought the tank for only $10.99 for that discount thing a couple months ago, I also go the t-55-am1, the object 120 and a couple helicopters and spent less than $100, pretty decent in my opinion
Thought you might like to know, it's currently not available to purchase. It's listed as coming soon and has been for a couple months now, for myself and quite a few others.
@@Ballistics_Computer not that I'm planning on buying it rn or anything. Not until I need to buy it to get 50% off a more expensive premium when they have those kind of sales.
I got it but hindsight is 20/20 and I wished I would have gotten the other one but I still play the IS-6 just carefully unless Im the top dog then I push a little harder
I'm just saying the BR471B round is the best 122 round for the Early 122s in the game the B has insane angle pen enough to go through pretty much all American heavy tanks at 6.7 without even aiming anything with the T 34 hull so T 30 and T 29 can have the b round cleave clean through the ufp without aiming. While the D round struggles especially at distance. Now definitely carry some D rounds for your IS 3 at range you'll need those to Kill King tigers which the B round can struggle with at range.
@@nikolaii6817 be patient and don't show ur weakspot like the side, and wiggle in front of the enemy to confuse them, don't rush exept when you are in a downtier be careful of HEAT/missiles and HEATFS and darts
Its not that great if it gets up-tier match. Any ATGMs or HEATFS can kill you easily. Its mobility cannot complete with LTs or MTs armed with ATGMs or HEATFS. Those tanks will always capture the point before you do. Then they will hide and want for your arrival.
You are right, I haven't been able to update the game in 6 months due to steam corrupted files, still like to watch the videos, kinda glad I don't play it anymore. Ty Sako, ur vids are great btw.
Yes,it’s a is-3 with the mobility of a medium tank
and no access to the D shell that helps keep the IS-3's gun capable
@@alexwilbrecht6962 it doesn't need it

Doesn't the t10m reload faster, it should be a manual loading gun

@@hadesior7321 yeah but the 120 exists
I love heavies, and I do great in the Tiger 10.5, so the IS-6 is like a dream
I kill them pretty easily with the 6.3 JPZ 4-5. 320mm of HEATFS pen is not joke.

the nightmare is the uptier, in 8.0 they will shoot with HEAT and ATGM
As is the problem with all heavy tanks

Great video Sako. Since you re doing these rank IV premium reviews could you do one on the French Somua SM?
Im pretty sure there is one already
Reviews of Somua and char 25T coming v soon
@@SAKOSNIPER Great to hear
@@SAKOSNIPER the somua will have the AMX50 90 now it will be a deadly premium duo
the french somua is the best french premium bro i bought it and did my first nuke with it. It is very powerful and allowed me to grind the frnech until the Amx40
This tank made my blood boil in anger many times as i played the Tiger 2.
Its reload and gun depression are its only downsides. The gun and ammo work well enough. Great fun sometimes and its a fantastic silver lion producer
I bought the tank for only $10.99 for that discount thing a couple months ago, I also go the t-55-am1, the object 120 and a couple helicopters and spent less than $100, pretty decent in my opinion
Ngl I miss the German Shepard profile pic :(
Yet, again another great review tho.
Ito or Roland 1 vid soon?
glad you partnered with uncle Jo i love his content
The intro is pure adrenaline power love it m8

Not for me.
@Lenfred Dueck lucky you :(
I've seen a few forum posts about it and had some reinforcing comments elsewhere I have mentioned this
@@Ballistics_Computer not that I'm planning on buying it rn or anything. Not until I need to buy it to get 50% off a more expensive premium when they have those kind of sales.
@@LenfredDueck it wasn't available for me during the big holiday sales 😔😔
Still isn't
the newish intro is amazing
I love this tank, the uptoers are tough though.
Sako!!! 30k!!! 🎉 congrats man
If only this thing had a different gun, I would definitely have it by now.
Just got this yesterday, crazy to think it was even better years ago, feels like easy mode
I got it but hindsight is 20/20 and I wished I would have gotten the other one but I still play the IS-6 just carefully unless Im the top dog then I push a little harder
Great video as always
But I would like to give some extra pros to the intro
It looks magnificent
Really cinematic
Thank you very much!
@@SAKOSNIPER Could you link the music track you use? I checked it up online but it didn't sound the same at all.
My go to tank for grinding silver lions, or getting kills in a heavy tank missions.
i knocked one out with VK Panther with a single shot
me and my friend literaly screamed after we realised what happened.
would you rather the T-55am1 over the is6?
Could you re-evaluate the Khalid, now that it received APFSDS?
I'll try and get a test drive of it
@@SAKOSNIPER Thanks ;)
i got this in 3 tank pack way back double/triple packs were a thing along withe the OP-120 and T-55AM1
look forward to seeing the intro in a few years lol
Sako can you please do a video on the Kifr Canard and one on the Israeli F16. Thank you
BR-471D is crap because it doesn't overpressure, I don't use even if I can (IS-3)
What's your opinion on the Scottish koala basically retiring from war Thunder?
It still gives me cancer because people push flanks with it for some reason which is really spooky for a light tank main
Could you do a review about some Sweden pack premium higher ranks 5,6?
I’m thinking about getting another premium tank for ussr, any recommendations?
Turms or the AM1. Both are very good
loads of is-6s? ive rarely seen them and ive been playing for years
Hey sako I know you said it's a piece of shit but can you review the khalid now that it's got l23?
New pfp, nice
I have had like 5 nukes in this thing it’s hard to play it bad tbh
Next vehicle kv1c?
Yes
Love the sponsor
Bro no way it’s a 122 but only 202 pen
Is this tank good if you're grinding rank 4?
It's a very good premium for ranks 4 and 5
@@SAKOSNIPER is the object 120 better? Because I'm seeing a lot of people saying that the object 120 is better
i love you sacko

I bought the IS6 and the first day i used it i got 2 nukes in 1 day (it's recent)
It's a great tank, if you have good pacing. Just let down abit by it's ammunition
@@SAKOSNIPER i take 16 munitions and sometimes i ran out of ammo 🤣
Did you only use the is-6 to get nukes or you used a lineup? And if you only use is-6 how can you get a lot of kills with that reload rate?

No that's the IS-7
