@@joe125ful You can't expect anything better from that kind of gun to be fair. IS-3 has 0.21 dispersion while moving with worse aim time and I can't see anyone complaining about that.
@@joe125ful But why should it be much better? Powercreep caused by tanks like BZ or Skoda actually makes people mad when they get a balanced tank, it's insane.
I spit out my coffee in bed when that happened. I've seen plenty of rocket boost ramming, but the up and over was fantastic. Just like big foot crushing cars.
So far it seems that the IS-5 sits next to the other russian heavies gunstat wise. There are some slight dispersion, aimtime, penetration, and dpm differences between them but the gap is not as big anymore. The IS-5 statwise sits right in the middle. It has a decent gun now and still enjoys above average mobility without sacrificing much armor while -7 depression is the best you can get on a russian heavy on that tier. And similar to the IS-3A it can hit those fast moving targets with its 1400 shell velocity. It might not be the most powerful tank. But it's jack of all trades nature might benefit a lot of maps.
@@helohel5915 Your right. I reminded myself the wrong tank. It is indeed the is3a. (editing) Point is also. Sometimes quick shell velocity helps when your enemy is just about to drive into cover or cross small gaps where leading a shot is impossible cause you would shoot the terrain. These situations also happen a lot in short range.
They should have buffed the IS-5 sooner, but better late than never. I think for most players the 252U is probably a more fun and interesting tier 8 premium Soviet heavy available to buy with bonds, especially if you want to play with multiples of them in a platoon. The 252U is still a pretty insane brawler with very trollish front AND side armor, very high alpha, decent dpm, and similar in many ways to the 257 and IS-7, which are both very powerful brawlers. The new crew skills also allow the 252U's inaccurate gun to be more usable at medium or longer ranges. The 252U is one of the only bond store tier 8 premiums which really makes a lot of tech tree heavies look pretty bad by comparison.
I agree with all of your points! especially for Beginners and new players it is a great tank, because of the troll amor and great alpha damage and decent standart pen😁👍🏻
lS6 is definitely 3 or 4 stars still. Not even accounting for its ridiculous RNG bonus where it seems about as accurate as renegade when shooting, lS6 is a hard-pen for something like BZ176, meaning it can stop those tanks in their tracks. 2,086 base DPM is high for something with 390 alpha too.
@@VestanPL lt got 2 penetration buffs already. its pen used to be 175/217. lt doesnt need anymore buffs, its a pref tank man. lS6, KV5, T-34-3, Type 59 are fine. WZ111, FCM50 and Jagpz 88 need it alot more. Make MXCDC a pref tank too.
It needed its turret armour fixed, I played half a dozen games, and couldn't block anything, every shot just went straight through my roof, or turret front.
@@sarkza2119 your right, just checked tanks gg, its only 30mm of armour everywhere above the gun, so over 90mm is an overmatch, and over 100 pen will go through most the time, the big cupolas are only 102mm. . no wonder I never block any damage. . an extra 10mm of armour would have really helped.
Have a question for you Skill. Does it bug you a ton when you get the losing team several times in a row. Like i have been on the losing team 9 times in a row and just wanted to through my monitor out the window. I was doing everything i could to win 3 to 6 kills and 3 and 4 thousand damage and it was just not enough.
I personaly don't own IS5 and K2 but i have the Defender/252U and they all are very similar. Russian heavy tanks with big alpha damage and troll amor but not so great gunhandling. If you have Defender you dont need IS5....thats my opinion🤷♂️

I am fairly certain the IS-5 is on par with the IS-3, if not slightly better.
If you activate your battle pass ! Or if you do it later on you get all the points you gained since it started ? Or does it start counting the moment you activate ?
I loved to mark is5 i had most of the time fun ofc the gun was not so great but the apcr and heat compo on this tank is just perfect so it’s even bether now 👌
How do we see when Skil updates certain crew perks on the Index? Like there is the initial perks from day 1 of update, but what if he changes some perks around? Do we just have to go thru and check every single tank?
I don't have an IS1, IS2, IS3, IS4, IS5, IS6, IS7, IS8, IS9, IS10, IS11, IS12, IS13, IS14, IS15, IS16, IS17 or IS18 and I definitively don't have an IS0
When RNG say you can shot pixel Is5 on the move, it's already rigged who wins the game. Probably opponents have every shot RNGed as bounce or miss. Last game gun handlingvwas better than Leo but ia guess it's only RNG rigged battle. Play it again and you will not hit 50% of those no aim snipes.
I actually loved IS-5 back in the good old days when it was receiving all the hate, I'll surely have to give it a go in a battle or ten at the next Christmas event, khm I mean the next I decide to suffer playing World of Tanks...
Skiiiiiiel! No KURWA! How many more days do I need to wait for video on buffed batchat? You said you cant wait to play it after k-91 and yet here you are playing trash like is5 and skoda 😂
I sold/trade in Defender, after like 10-20 fights because I didn't felt worst gun in this game. It doesn't hit anything, and everyone uses gold against you so armor doesn't mean much, unless you have a good mm, which I usually don't have. IS 5 now have 2 seconds faster reload, 40% faster shell velocity, half second faster aim and much better dispersion. That's a big difference in his favor. Of course side scraping was and will be always Defender's advantage.
i don't understand wot improving all tank accept wz 114 chines tier 9 heavy tank the only tank they must buffed this is basically un playable its slow poorest gun in the game weak turret too big weal spot i wish they buffed it too
Skill I noticed an error with new crew system, you may want to investigate. Mixing crews in my premium tank messes up the perks. I have my Grille 15 crew in Skorpion G, with optics and view range is fine. When I swapped commander for RHM one, he has the same perks, and yet my viewrange dropped below 445m even with optics on. My crew has all the same perks. W T F?
That first battle was comedy gold. 'It feels decent' - proceeds to miss 7 shots. 'VK is completely fine' - dies 2 seconds later 😂
Yes exactly...problem with IS-5 is terrible gun handling.
0.17 while moving..bleah.

703 II only get 1150 velo. 1400 velo is shared with is3a... but that tank is never hitting fast tanks with its gun

@@Orcone also it means easy cupola shots on tanks that wiggle
Is-5 is now the most "medium" like russian heavy tank on t8 (apart from 259a which only supertesters got)
@@Orcone APCR also is a huge downside
on the other hand it has excellent HEAT
skill4ltu, Wow, this made my day brighter! Thank you!
Ussr gun always made my day, sometimes it hits pixel shot like a laser gun but sometimes it’s a bird shooting gun.
Typical..KV-2 dead gunner,damaged gun and hit Leopard in move....balance:)

"Waka has plenty of armour" - Waka gets one shoted by BZ 🤣😅😂
Yes:):)
Meanwhile my IS-6 continues gathering dust in the garage...
IS-6 is a decent vehicle 😃 compare it to FCM 50t for example. There are many tanks that would need a buff way more than IS-6
lS6 is definitely 3 or 4 stars still. Not even accounting for its ridiculous RNG bonus where it seems about as accurate as renegade when shooting, lS6 is a hard-pen for something like BZ176, meaning it can stop those tanks in their tracks. 2,086 base DPM is high for something with 390 alpha too.
IS 6 only needs penetration buff and it's fine
@@VestanPL lt got 2 penetration buffs already. its pen used to be 175/217.

Can't wait for the shovel buff
I really love now and loved is 5 before, now hitting 5k dmg battles with this buff really consistent, i just adore the speed of shells
Love your videos. I learn heaps. But being an old man I struggle to execute.
Thsi video was a showcase of BZ 176 is first game being an absolute meme with a cameo by skill in an IS-5
Imagine the tank quality "you can actually hit now" wot 2024 😊
Is5 isn't powerful after buff but shovel after buff is beast(raumpanzer)
It’s glorious. Been averaging 2.7k DPG since the buff.
really good credit grinder too since it got a dmg buff but shells still cost just 355
It needed its turret armour fixed, I played half a dozen games, and couldn't block anything, every shot just went straight through my roof, or turret front.
I literally has 100 something armour on top of the turret and is overmstchable by 90+ mm guns
@@sarkza2119 your right, just checked tanks gg, its only 30mm of armour everywhere above the gun, so over 90mm is an overmatch, and over 100 pen will go through most the time, the big cupolas are only 102mm. . no wonder I never block any damage. . an extra 10mm of armour would have really helped.
They fixed the armor on the couch potato version lol
I remember 3 marking IS-5 after it's first set of buffs. had to run bounty IAU
Ha-ha that Turtle was your nemesis. He got you in the end! @22:43
Gold ammo ruins this game
Nope
If it got that much better I will try it tomorrow after I slept. I am sitting in a security boot in a 24 hour shift RN.
Have a question for you Skill. Does it bug you a ton when you get the losing team several times in a row.

I was doing everything i could to win 3 to 6 kills and 3 and 4 thousand damage and it was just not enough.

Another one of those heavies that completely collapse when an armored enemy shows up
Not really. 270 heat pen is not that bad for a tier 8 heavy.
Looks way better than Defender's and Kirovets' guns now. Almost tempting to waste bonds.
If you activate your battle pass ! Or if you do it later on you get all the points you gained since it started ? Or does it start counting the moment you activate ?
"Ooohhh you touch my tralala" moment @5:37 👁️🫦👁️
Hey Skill, nice video again mate, but why in 360p resolution? old computer? lol
I guess that is on your side, i have 1440 p (settings, and you see it, remove auto)
nice .. maybe next candidate for NoGold challenge? scritka, are you out there, how about this one?
Sniping cupolas on hull down tanks is the reason i don't like to play heavies in WoT.
I loved to mark is5 i had most of the time fun ofc the gun was not so great but the apcr and heat compo on this tank is just perfect so it’s even bether now 👌
even before buff, I am proud of this tank
DAMN THAT'S CRAZY ACCURACY
What a pleasure to see your excellent videos as always. You are a monster in the wot 😮
So, as Claus Kellerman would say, they fixed the Sigma for this tank 🤭
How do we see when Skil updates certain crew perks on the Index? Like there is the initial perks from day 1 of update, but what if he changes some perks around? Do we just have to go thru and check every single tank?
The pages tells you if there are any updates
Skill, is that mean that Kirovets also has buffs coz it’s same gun ?
How does it compare to IS3 and IS6?
Is 5 is buff or nerf updated?
His summary is here 27:33
with this change which is better? is5 or defender?
If this tank would have more armour on top of the turret i would 100% buy this tank, hovewer 90 mm + guns can overmatch your turret so that sucks.
Now if they will just fix IS-6 and T-34
Is it worth getting with bonds?
No. Defender is still better but to me both those tanks are a chore to play
No
It dos not matter what tank it is Skill4ltu makes it look good. 🤪
Should i buy this from bonds or Defender?
imo, Defender for sure
Imo dont buy both of them
defender is slower has better armor and worse gun
I would say neither but if you dead set on it the defender. I blind monkey can bounce 1k in the defender and 440 alpha trades better.
Defender 8 times out of 10
14:25. Bad shot from skill, heat can easily go through defender upper hull its angled towards him like that
This tank still has about 0% chance to hit those coupola shots
Next up Shovel Tank pls, new dpm monster
14:53 Here am I
I played Guard Tank after the update, why I think it armored got buffed or my mind playing with me
"IS 5" its in the name, 5 star tank.
Should I get this, or Defender for bonds?
The 252U is still better.
I don't have an IS1, IS2, IS3, IS4, IS5, IS6, IS7, IS8, IS9, IS10, IS11, IS12, IS13, IS14, IS15, IS16, IS17 or IS18 and I definitively don't have an IS0

This tank looks like stock is8
I got this POS as a reward. Not a prize.
to me kirovets 1 is the better version it s a 703 armor that can go 49 km/h all terrain its crazy
They overbuffed Turtle 1 imo.
Try the AltProto AMX 30 skilll

Fire twice on p43 lmao
BUT THE BIG QUESTION
252U or IS5 ?
252U, cause the gun is same IS 5 but have good armor than IS 5
Defender (252u)
252u
IS-5 buff:Better but still garbage...
And why have this when Defender is in game.
I changed this tank for CS-52 LIS few months ago :D :D... hmmm.. Maybe a mistake :D :D (i am an average player of WoT :) )

Finally Fixed This Tank hahahahah what a joke!!!!
IS 6 is still shit
😂lol try user He.. wg make tired so hard not hit cupola.
still industrial waste
Hehe🎉
first
Still crap tank
Is5???!!! What the f.. it should have been is6 that needed a buff
