In today's video ill be playing in the tier 9 Soviet heavy tank the IS-8 and talking about it's incredibly unique playstyle! My Discord / discord Support my content / droodlesblitz
This tank is very-very strong even before the buff. People often misunderstood this tank, or they just really bad at reading line-ups. This tank mostly is a medium bully like E50, you face HT only when you have to, mostly just help MT to clear out the flank, especially with the buffed DPM, you can perform this task very well. Remember, you might not have the penetration for all the HT, but you definitely have enough penetration to go through all the mediums, even E50M upper plate, just tap the premium key and just cut through like butter. Btw, run calibrated on this tank, it is a game changer from only good enough for fighting medium to capable to fight heavy armor tank like Maus and Type 71
I remember struggles with this tank then I used 50% discount research to get IS-7 in just 2 weeks but then I realized that is-8 help getting the top gun for ST-1 and IS-4
I mean if you really want accuracy then the is7 should go 60km/h, has absolutely impenetrable armor (even stronger than it is now) and a gun that can penetrate anything and everything. It's a game after all, just have fun.
Imagine people complaining that IS-8 has horrible Gun depression, like srsly you should get used to it by now. If you think IS-8 has garbage gun depression, maybe whole Soviet Tanks Tech Trees is not for you. Yes, I said it. Cuz most soviet vehicles has 5-6° and some special ones which is not a lot of them, has 7-8°. So yeah, don’t complain IS-8 has a bad Gun depression. Blame yourself for not being smart enough to figure how to use them effectively. If I can operate IS-8 and IS-3 with flying colours, what your excuse? If you want gun depression, just drive Americans or Germans. Heck even Type 71 with meta build still has 6° of gun depression. A fool complaining about Gun depression without realizing you can be creative with the tank. Maybe blitz players are no longer have creativity in their brains anymore cuz the game is “less harsh” than previous pre 5.5 update. So yeah, if you know how to master IS-3, IS-8 wouldn’t be a problem while IS-7 you get rewarded by all of those hard work you did.
Meanwhile every map in WOTB HAS many hills which forces you to go forward and expose yourself to an ammorack. Well yes you have to be creative to use it. But when the game itself forces you to have at least 7 and above gun deppression to have a somewhat comfortable gameplay experience. Heck even nowadays goin city is 80% lose at this point on which the Russians tanks excel at.
It doesn't matter how skilled you are. The IS-8 OBJECTIVELY has bad gun depression, of course if you're good enough you can work around it but it's still bad.
@@shinymoddy yeah, i agree with you. my average dmg for is8 is 3k with top gun, just don't be a hero and lead a charge when you are in bottom tier matchmaking and read the map more. Your side armor is more durable than you think if you angle it well. don't rely on your gun depressioin, try to always find a rock, the side of the hill, or something that can block your hull while you peek and boom. Dont be the nub that always go forward on a hill, and expose your lower plate, go by the side and peek The IS8 ain't a bad tank if you have good map awareness, cos it has very high dpm to outrade most heavies as long as you don't miss your shots, and poke only when you have the chance
0:58 well, it can be weird but still correct, the IS-8 has the M62 even irl, (differently from the IS-4), but anyways, yeah, it leading to a tank with a different type of gun is really weird, that's why the IS-7 and 8 aren't from the same branch on pc anymore
Fact: IS-8 is more commonly known and named as T-10 Heavy Tank due to Stalinisation of the USSR in the time the tank was about to enter service, and IS-8 was the last Heavy Tank on full production of the Soviet Union. IS-4 and IS-7 was just both Heavy Tank prototypes intend to enter service as a companion for Sovier T-54s and T-62s. On the west the Americans has also there last production Heavy tank the American M103 designed to counter the Soviet T-10s.
I used to hate the is8 because with ZERO armor its playstyle is very different to is7 which make the tank unique with good dpm and now buffed armor its much more better after the update.
Can you do an update on the IS3 DEFENDER? I'm trying it out but no matter what I die nearly instantly like it has no armour I truly don't understand how to use it and thinking about selling it
mate ur running milk on it but not combat rations with gun rammer it gets 2800 DPM idk why u would run cali on that insane DPM 340 HEAT is enough for a heavium but u run cali on everything so eh
11:59 that's when rng is on your side , meanwhile when i use obj 907 full aim at wt auf. Pz iv i still miss the shot i don't know how is that possible , iam not moving or got pushed by my team mate or even lagging , its just my bad rng 😐
I wish I could like it…. But when grinding my IS-7 (My 1st teir 10 and favorite tank in the game) I was bad and I hated it! It was a heavy tank… but not really…
That first game was clutch. Amazing skill! 👏 keep up the good attitude that's when you shine. Respect

I mean they do have garbage gun depression ngl. But they are usually meant for peek and boom and sidescraping. Not for ridgelines.

You kinda wasted time by crying in the comments

players like that tortoise can make u crazy.. jesus.. wtf he's dooing??
The is8 is supposed to be a heavium and that's why it has bad hull armor
P
I like to call these types of heavy as ''support heavy tank''
For the fact that it has a design of both tanks (is7 and is4) it would be cool if it grinded to obj 260
Fact:
IS-8 is more commonly known and named as T-10 Heavy Tank due to Stalinisation of the USSR in the time the tank was about to enter service, and IS-8 was the last Heavy Tank on full production of the Soviet Union. IS-4 and IS-7 was just both Heavy Tank prototypes intend to enter service as a companion for Sovier T-54s and T-62s.

with gun rammer it gets 2800 DPM
idk why u would run cali on that insane DPM 340 HEAT is enough for a heavium but u run cali on everything so eh
E100 turret
But yeah i agree with you he should seriously try rammer.
Am i wird bc i play war thunder wotb and tank company
I keep dying in the IS8
IS 8 Jupiter sized dispersion and terrible aiming time
every russian tanks has drunk gunner
Thats not the point of the IS8
@@dinamostarter and all of them have problem with their eyesight
11:59 that's when rng is on your side , meanwhile when i use obj 907 full aim at wt auf. Pz iv i still miss the shot i don't know how is that possible , iam not moving or got pushed by my team mate or even lagging , its just my bad rng 😐
He has a skill unlocked where there is a slim chance that the gun will not disperse, or go where you aren't aiming, at all
Still very lucky tho
Why the wii sports music?
Now we need st-1 review
bro the first game was so insane
First
I wish I could like it…. But when grinding my IS-7 (My 1st teir 10 and favorite tank in the game) I was bad and I hated it! It was a heavy tank… but not really…
One thing i just realized that obj.268 is using is-8 hull 🗿
704 with is3 hull 🗿
263 is made of is7 ‘s rear
v4 is made of is8 ‘s rear
268 hull is also buffed compared to what's on the is8
@@gerogyzurkov2259 true
Line should correlate w/ PC and swap Is8 for 257 , better warmup for Is7 imo.
Lmao, today I also faced a noob shark player that literally tunneled me but got evaporated to dust
droodles make a vid opening the Tournament Lockbox
|I like the new intro music. like who agrees
3rd bro posts every 5 minutes i swear and there all good
You play that hunk of junk better than I ever did.
what's the key to block the turret? i play on pc
I kinda forgot since I rebinded it, but I think its like E and Q or something.
Hold your right mouse
I can believe u won that. Happens often
Now buff the IS-7 aim time and dispersion, do it, do it.
I just upgraded is8 to is7
Best HT Pen
6 degree? no
the amount of time i surrvived cuz of is 8 reload is very much surprising
