The IS-7 is one of the rarest vehicles in War Thunder. It used to be overpowered when it first released, then it was just sorta ok. Now it's back to being very good.

The Rarest Soviet Heavy Tank
300k QnA soon
Let's gooo
Let’s go
Wooo, only imagine. Grats
Why u so epix?
Let’s gooo
"Yeah, this tank is pretty garbage, no one should play it" gets 10 nukes
"Yeah, this tank is very OP, should be uptiered, easy win" suffers the mighty wrath of a vengeful god
its the same with up tiers and down tiers
Because it sits on the edge between facing conventional tank shells vs APFSDS in more modern tanks.
@@Lofi.z34 Which is why I believe where it's at is perfect
@@darthrevan454 its not, its just a good example of horrific br compression
@@connivingkhajiit yeah perfect relative to the shitty br compression
6:41 karma for abandoning your teammate
Even tho spookston is not pregnant he never fails to deliver
Btw congrats on 300k spook
14th video asking spookston to play france 1.0
Video 42 of asking Spookston to play the Ratel 90 (congrats on 300k)
2:05 thats why the 279 is goated
-pays gaijin 1500 USD for a tank
-first game full uptier
Spookston, can you play the 279 and IS7 in a video? It is the definition of Russian Bias.
These sounds are on point 😂
Where there's smoke, there's Germany players.
did you buy this tank or did you earn it cuz don't you have to call gaijn saying you want to buy the is7 or the e100 saying i would like to buy and they only sell it to you
i played against you on that rome map you rolled me ibr
Day 6 of asking if you could play the Chinese M18. It has twice the turret rotation and just under twice the horsepower as the American M18 but it is at 4.7 rather than 5.7 for the American. Might be just a little bit broken
I swear, Spookston's random "tiptoeing" sound effect cracks me up for no reason all the time. It's just goofy to hear it and see a guy drive past.
Also road to 500k? Congratulats dude!
The piano every time a USH appeared got me lol
Yup, that and the SpongeBob sound effect
This is definitely in the top three of the tanks you do not want to have a non pen or ricochet on
s h e l l s h a t t e r e d
Sadly almost no way you can pen this things
@@DyonisXseeing your shell shatter is so terrifying
@@somegirl9055 Seeing an Is-7 is a fking nightmare itself. The first time it was released, The fking thing trash my entire team with it holding 2 of the points alone. I only killed it by chance. You cant view and see the armor pattern of event vehicle at the time so it was guessing where to shoot. That and I never encountered any IS-3+ at the time.
This is Tigers for me currently
Speaking of french tanks, I was fighting against a once-in-a-blue-moon french majority enemy team a week ago and I have never seen such aggression and blood lust in warthunder.
I saw two Maus's getting evaporated instantly against french autoloaders and a whole flank of centurions and caernarvon getting absolutely folded by amx13-90s and lorraines.
Strangely enough it was an enjoyable game since little if any french players switched to playing CAS, just had to survive against entrenched lines of autoloading Somosa SM's and lorraines flanking like hellcats on crack.
That’s why France is one of my favorite tech trees to play, they have such great tech behind them to play aggressively consistently.
gaijin should do matches of nation vs nation, unbalanced but would be funny
Yea Germany 5.7 against France 5.7
@@dinochookproductions5190 They used too, axis vs allies sorta deal.
Day 21 of asking spookston to play the ikv 103
No
Doing gods work
no
That thing might as well be 1.0 and still suffer
Lol just watch his ikv 91 video you waste of time
3:35 kills a player called circumcision_pro
"I don't know why they feel so cocky about engaging an IS-7"
🅱️🅰️🅾️🅱️🅰️🅱️
Spookston never fails to put out great content! Congrats on 300k btw
I proceeded to ask the same question Spookston did at 10:57 when I bounced that shot on him.
With the DF015, I did not even see Spookston until he fired. When I saw where the round came from I was embarrassed to hell lmao. Glad to see a great edit came out of that.
Happy 300K!
Always a Great day when Spookston uploads.
I borrowed 30 bucks from my brother to get this thing and I never returned them. Those were the best 30€ I ever spend at the game and they werent even mine.
Cool vid. Good to know where the mighty IS-7 stands. Still think you’d like the french M4A4 SA50 sherman. The solid shot on that is pretty fantastic for a non copy pasta firefly.
Isn't it silly how every other nation just has the Sherman but better
@@aiedenoldstien9751 i would say yes but that 76 stabilized is a bastard to play around. Never discount a stabilized gun when not much else is
@@arcanos9706 I don't. I just find it silly that literally every other sherman that has a 75 on it from a different nation is just a better 75.
Even if they aren't stabilized.
@@aiedenoldstien9751 yeah. It is silly. USA gets a 76 with 136mm of stabilized pen but Italy and GB get the 17 pounder, France gets the SA50 long 75, huh…
It pens Jumbos in the right circumstances too
11:18 that has to be one of my favourite edits on this channel so far. This entire episode seems like it has great editing!
The Maus is also feeling even better at 7.7 now
Well they moved all the things that can reliably kill it to 8.0
@@aiedenoldstien9751until they add AMX-10M now i can kill maus at spawn
@@carlostroiano6700wait how? Is that thing penetrate all buildings from your spawn into maus spawn area?
@@rizkidary837 K K K K K a wet French main dream my boi a wet dream..... nah just sinai things, spawn camping like 90% of the maps in this funcking game.
I think that the IS 7 should be researchable. When it was available in the event , there weren't many players who received it . Gaijin could do something similar to the Maus Tank , making it researchable for a certain amount of time each year .
I agree
It would be cool if they did that with the Panther II, the Coliean, and the Tiger 2 105 too
Making it for during 2 days, Christmas Eve and Christmas day.
if they do I will actually play the USSR in this game
*that maus returning for each anniversary now so you can research it*: Bruh. Plus any event vehicle should stay one. and probabbly will cus Gaijin can make money off them.
Day 8 of asking to play the R3
Attempt/Day #28: KV-2 (ZiS-6), the 107mm has just about twice as much explosive filler as an IS-2, with the tradeoff of slightly less pen, still able to UFP a panther. The armor can save you but shouldn’t be relied on as it is the standard 75mm. Mobility is average for a KV.
“slightly less pen”
That gun bounces shots it should never bounce. Even against lower BRs.
KV-2 (ZiS-6) is something i missed out on. Spook oughtta play this
@@deadmau1958 It's not that great. The reload and non-existing turret traverse gets you killed very quick.
@@steffent.6477 oh.
Congrats on 300k subs my dude, love to see you grow even more! ❤
6:28 when shes on yo brick but you a gangsta
Hey spooks thanks for another banger of yours,
Heres a tank that another viewer requested and that got me to: the STA-1/STA-2 (they function the same)
Having played them both these are very refreshing to use, they have decent mobilty, neutral steering, a decent reverse gear of 17 kph and M82 APHE at 6.3
As much as I love them, they are still insanely outclassed at 6.3, especially when facing an uptier. I love the 6.3 lineup dont get me wrong(Mostly bc Big derp Gun and funni overtiered plane) but the STA's definitely need a bit of love by Gaijin and get moved to at least 6.0 sinces theyre both essentially a worse Pershing
@@toxicmuggle5788they have different roles at 6.3.
Love these tanks
Sta1 mobility is so shit it made me quit japan for now
Hey Spookton, I would love if you would play one of the low-tier Swedish big-booms, like the BT-42/Ikv 72. They are usually fun to play (fast) and I'm interested to see how you utilize them.
Day 25 of asking spookston to play the sad American rat. The m2a2
Day 24 of begging for the Type 87 RCV
The grind event for the IS-7 was really painful. I think I spent around $45 chasing this Soviet dragon.
Even if you spent 45 bucks grinding it that's a very good profit margin if you ever chose to sell it
Really? I did the is-7 event in 3 days, it feels like it was the easiest crafting event we ever got!?
@@VEX_INCyou are smoking some good stuff + cap
@@VEX_INC I did it completely free and it was MISERABLE grinding.
Friendly reminder that the leo1 is at 8.0 now.
When will the day come where Spookston finally plays the Radkampfwagen
AB-41/43 are good rat machines, give them a chance 🙏 The kill sound bytes are legendary! Wish it were a mod...
Loved the editing on this one! Great video
Also I think that watching you playing the T95 superheavy would be very funny
Would love to see a video on the M43 75/46 please
Hey spook how about the Pz.IV J? It's basically a panzer IV but without any turret rotation whatsoever.
It'll be an interesting challenge :)
It's basically a Panzer IV?
It's literally a Panzer IV.
@@Haaton-of-the-Basement
Panzer 4 but without electric turret ring
It is objectively worse then the H
I love your videos so much. They give me so much motivation to grind in War Thunder.
IS-7 vs M41. M41 is cold war but goes up against WW2. IS-7 is (sort of) Late WW2 but goes up against late cold war. The battle rating system. The IS-7 is killing Bradleys where it should be facing Pershings, the M41 is facing T-34ss when it should be facing T-55s. (I understand this is balancing reasons)
seen the is7 a surprising amount lately, just quit playing france 7.3 and 7.7 for now cause its maddening to have to be lucky on a flank while super heavies with light tank mobility can just hold W and go through you and your entire team with no thought, no consideration nor any shame cause too many people would just outright cheat if they could without risk of consequences, 279 is a way to do that, its a powertrip.
anyways atleast when i actually feel like playing this scam of a game its the full french 8.3 lineup which atleast kind of has proper spaa, specifically to counter cas and 279/t55am1.
funny that its still a horror game cause i still have to ambush, snipe or generally catch them unaware cos of their mobility, stab and superior firepower. glancing blows on the 279 never work either of course even with darts. not to mention flanking and stalking vehicles for a long while just to get picked off by some atgm heli 3-5km away or strafed out till unavoidable death.
thanks for playing this so we dont have to, thanks for the videos.
It's always hard to counter Cas or an obj 279.
Cas even when you kill them half the time they get to drop their bombs anyways or when you shoot the tail rotor off a helicopter and it perfectly stabilizes to missile spam you (Even though Heli's cannot do that.).
The object 279 is also just as hard to counter simply because Gajin refuses to let that thing lose. It's immune to bombs, immune to most physical forms of damage, and is almost impossible to track.
The 279 might have had one sheet of paper that said it could survive a nuke. Though even then it wasn't directly in the nuke.
@@aiedenoldstien9751 exactly, especially cas, its this great equalizer that lets every moron and their petty 2 braincells get free kills for spamming spacebar at what may aswell be ants to pilots.
especially cancerous when you get the drop on a bushed up object 279 who is 5-9 kills in, just for them to come back in a il28, heli or su11(?).
you can do everything right with a vehicle like the lorraine 40t or char 25t or any of the american heavies that just shouldnt realistically be able to kill any 279 with brain matter and then still get punished. same goes for all vehicles, got the drop on a tiger 2h in a comet? time to get strafed to death, flank and ruin a vidar with a amx13 or m26? time to get bombed or rocket'ed or gunpod'ed by that one swedish jet.
god its such retarded game design, if it can be considered a game.
Day 31 of asking Spookston to play the m19a1.
try 78 can you make a video about the centauro 105 It is an italian light tank that is really fast so I guess it fits your playstyle
Thanks for reminding me I still have my 279. Time to piss some people off in high tiers :3
0:57 i saw this and felt it for a moment.. >~
*Complains about no support from teammates*, *Teammate comes and supports him*, *Downplays the teammates support*
Love your editing spookston, it's really a great improvement to the entertainment quality of the videos
I know its almost completely out of your control (mostly down to your opponents), but I have a hard time believing something is underpowered or overpowered as you describe them to be in most of your videos. Reason for this being that 90 percent of your kills are usually when the enemy is not aware or side shots. To me its like yeah, if you have this skill then you could still dominate with a m4(76). If you were able to show more frontal engagements, utilizing armor to take a hit and kill in return or just more instances where an enemy is aware and is firing at you, I believe it would help to certify your claims. Still love the content nonetheless.
My main question: Why 9 machine guns???
I’m pretty sure the M2 has more machine guns
The IS7 was pretty much invulnerable to any western tank at the time it was made, but the advent of recoilless rifles and HEAT launchers made infrantry the largest threat to the IS7. So, I’m guessing they just decided to slap a lot of machine guns on as a result.
amazing job on the edits and the 300k dude, i've been watching for like a year or 10 monthes and im very happy i found this channel lol, also i love the sound effects for the U-SH, it is indeed a little gargolyle.
Play the rarest french td to be seen in a game - the Sau 40 next please
Attempt #48
This man deserves far more, I mean his gameplay is fantastic, his meme edits are perfectly timed, his commentary is hilarious, and his consistency- does anyone else agree with me?
Day 187 of asking Spookston to play the SU-152
Type 89 truly sad these days.
The ASMs actually work better than the Type 89 ATGM now.
The ASM have no wobble from the ATGM update and launch without control delay,
while the Type 89 ATGMs launch with control delay and just crash into the ground infront of you or overshoot your target due to wobble because you can't adjust the launcher.
Russia at 8.0 is such a pain recently it's unreal, so much fun grinding out T-54 (:
But, but... but what about Russian bias?
@@harryshuman9637 Russian "bias" only start at t80bvm.. The whole tree is painful as fuck.
I mean the T34 85s are fun
I hear Halo 3 spartan laser sound affect. I like
This is the one tank I wish I could buy. I had enough a few months ago for the 279, but no way I could stomach buying this. Maybe one day from a crate.
If possible try the Super Pershing.
QnA question: do you have any outdoor activitys you enjoy doing, if so i would like to know, Thanks.
Congrats on 300K my dude!
Since you seem to be playing so many Russian vehicles recently, can you try out the Tank Destroyer SU-100P? (Day 65)
One must imagine spookston play a game where he doesn't die from Cas
that's all ground battle consists of
i can relate @@almightyhavi4804
Mr. Spookston, you should play the Chieftain (any variant of your choice including Khalid)
attempt #23
is7 and 279 never needed moved up cus now the 279 faces 10.0 vehicles which is blatently unfair
at this point i think spookston is the special kind of wt player as i see he normally uses: MASSIVE MF CHONKS or tiny weeine rattiest of rat tanks
Day 19 of requesting CV9030fin , since you had a blast with other terrible IFV's this one should be fun.
me when someone gets noticed first day on the is-7 suggestion when ive been waiting for 67 days: 😭🙏💀
day 67 of asking for a bvm video
How i would balance the IS 3 and Obj 279...they get APCR as the only shell
Spookston can you pweety pwease play the M16 MGMC because I was able to get 5 air kills in one match and I am pretty bad
On today’s episode of Spookston Suffers: A gargoyle appears, his team disappears, and Revenge CAS strikes Fear.
Meanwhile america tanks like the m60 got moved up. Im actually convinced gaijin hates america
6:47 OH GOD NOT AGAIN!
how is posible that at heavy tank that weight 68 TONS, that was desing in 1945 can go up to 60 km/h. WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS!!! MINUTE 2:58.
Most gaijin moment:
A 130 mm with aphe bounces off a Bradley
Hey Spook, you should play the Semovente 75/46 M43. It's a deeply overshadowed italian tank destroyer which can deliver an heavy punch but it's deeply ignored the potential it has. I am not gonna surrender in proposing this.
(Day 95)
congratulations on 300k! been here since 25k, absolutely love your content. Keep up the good work!
Spokston should play the rarest tank destroyer, the ZACHLAM TAGER
Day 2 of asking spookston to play the YaG 10
His first game is like all my games,when I have 0 kills I win when I do 5-9 kills I loose
that IS-7 and Object-279 combo is insane
This tank costs more than my PC. More than twice as much actually.
Day 18 of asking spookston to give in to my autism and play the asu 85
So they moved up the Type 87 RCV with no stab, no thermal, no any sort of range finder, no armor and only 90mm max pen, but the obj get to stay ? yeah right.
I fear that without CAS, the videos would be too "upbeat".
7:05 imagine the pain of facing an IS-7 in a T32........
T26 is pain
man i love the editing in this video especially! keep up the good work >:D
Day 1 of asking spookston to try out war thunder mobile
IS7 should not be moved up, 279 maybe but id like to be able to enjoy the tank that i earned. IS7 aint even that common.
is7 to 8.0😊
Video 68 of asking to play the Sturer Emil
5:49 Hang on a second what is that song?
the ''mY tEaMmmmmmmMM'' sounds so painful
you should play the P40 for us Italian boyos :)
i have it and got it from the travel suitcases
Day 30 asking to play the marder A1 🙏🏼
25th vid of asking u to play GHPC again
Day 24 of asking Spookston to play the t-35
