The IS-6 is one of the best things in the Russian tech tree. And your a good player. It's less a surprise than an expectation you'd roflstomp with it. And man... Did you roflstomp with it.
No matter how good the tank I'll never have a higher k/d than 2 for 1 despite having over 3k hours in game I'm rather jealous of how consistent you are lol. Great video as usual
I hear spookston saying, "I consider a tank good if any average person can get a 3:1 KD ratio in it." And found out I only have maybe 2 tanks with a KD better than 2:1 guess no tank is good for me lol
I just looked and my highest k/d is in the jagged panther with 30 kills to like 8 deaths. I have like 3 or 4 other vehicals with over a 2:1 k/d and I don’t have more than 25 battles in any of them.
i love seeing heavy armour and aphe rounds vs heavy armour and aphe, seems less complicated and yet more nuanced and tactical than heat fs and apds vs paper thin steel.
IS-6 was (is) my most favored tank on WOT, even got my heavy mission 15 (the 1st ever mission questlines, way back) Good to see it's a damn good tank on Warthunder thanks for the content ;)
15:24 I've noticed when shooting top down with planes. All my rounds(at least the tracers) hit the turret, but in the preview they all hit the engine. It always felt like they hit lower than where they look like they hit.
Great video! I like this format as well. The more I watch the more I realize you have quite a few different flavors and many variations. I can't help but think of OrangeFan's videos with his first 10 series, showing the spading process, but yeah it does take a long time, hard to get through, if not really curious about the tank, whereas these smaller ones make the lack of interest more encouraging to watch. imo ofc. This tank looks awesome, not sure about that tier's meta. Might consider when it is 50% off or better, looks solid and that reload is managable, until you miss because of volumetric lol. Nice look at it here, and yeah man, that shot was super sweet, both of you moving fast and opposite and you shot on the move going downhill! Insane shot! GGWP
I love heavy tanks and for sure this used to be the best heavy tank in the game back in the day. First tank I bought and learnt to play in, great great times. Once they fixed the armour, raised it's br and added all the heat boyz tho it was pretty sad to play. Glad to see that it is a power on the battlefield again at 7.0, but the reload and gun depression can be pretty frustrating. The US T29 is actually still a better heavy tank at 7.0 imo due to it's survivability when penned, plus better reload and gun depression + 50 cals. But IS-6 is back in the top 5 heavy tanks in game for me... even tho the ZSU57 is a far better choice to use for Russia at 7.0! xD
the T29 unlike the IS-6 is over-br'd though. The IS-6 is practically unstoppable unless you have HEAT. Its direct counter the T114 has been moved up from 6.7 to 7.3 for some god forsaken reason too.
Guess I'll be one of those people. I'ma ask Odd every day to make a video covering the changed Char 25t with the American AP and APHE shells. Love your videos btw!
The IS-6 was one of the best thing I bought in WT, I went from the T-35-85 and IS-2 to the IS-4 in less than a month. Also get a talisman for the IS-3 for that line up with the T-44-100 and BMP-1. Hands down one of the strongest line ups I have played)
IS 6 is a pain to deal with for most countries at 7.0 but you make it look terrifying. If I hadn't already learned how to kill them I would be very upset right now. I do believe you just destroyed the whole "heavy tanks are bad in a uptier' Line that some people like repeating. Good game dude.
7.0?! this tank was great at 7.3! Thanks to all the heat slingers and dart throwers in and around 8.0 this got dropped. Now it’s armor will mean something again! Yaw YEET!!
IS-6 used to be the quintessential example of Russian Bias. Didn't it come out at 6.7 or something initially? Wasn't it the reason the M46 got its first HEAT round too? Jesus this thing used to auto-win games all by itself.
Glad to see you play it Odd! I’ve logged about half my war thunder hours on that machine and I love it, the only downside is that to “even it out” they put it against 70s stuff. Cool they dropped the BR tho
Bought this on a whim around Christmas and it’s the most fun I’ve had in WT in a long time. The sheer amount of people you can bait to shoot you is unreal (it faces Germany so no surprise there)
people have for as long as i can remember asked why Russian produced and designed Tanks don't have Gun Depression. i can answer that with a really simple answer. *you are not allowed to be depressed in Soviet Russia*
id totally watch a two hour video lol i really appreciate this style of vide though, i asked you if you could do a spadding video on one of your vids but this is really nice and probably much easier for you and potentionaly shorter than spading a tank! Thankyou so much i really enjoyed this :).
Its ok to compliment your self. Leave the non compliments for everyone else. Odd those were incredible games. If you dont think your tank killing is great at times,just look at your place on the game. Thanks for the great video bro.
I've seen this thing destroyed by oxy from the front using a jumbo 76.. he took out the gun then the tracks then hit the cupola, he made it look that easy.. the only thing I can pen this with is a HEAT FS.. whenever I see this thing and I don't have that round, I just backtrack and go the other way..
this was my first premium, and the choice was this or the t10M, in the end im really happy with it although id does suffer a good bit in uptiers. since im not as good of a player as oddbawz xD
I played today (after this video came out) and there were so many IS6s running around, might be coincidence or maybe I noticed them more but there were a lot more then normal.
Those 2 are on sale and i‘m thinking hard about buying them. i‘m about to reach rank 4 and hopefully manage to buy some talismans before the sale is over. Any other recommandations instead?
Hey Odd, I know your busy making videos with stuff you like from the new update, but can we get a video on the TU-1?. it‘s a TIS-MA that went to the gym. Anyways love your videos, keep up the great work
THIS TANK IS ABSOLUTELY CRAZY!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW WELL I DID IN IT!
I love you Odd 😊 thank you for the daily uploads
I mean you're OddBawZ! You're awesome at this game
Loved the Outnumbered and Type 87 videos!
Great video as always, but can't help but notice you haven't shown any vids of Cas lately, we want to see who's a good boy!
The IS-6 is one of the best things in the Russian tech tree. And your a good player. It's less a surprise than an expectation you'd roflstomp with it.
And man... Did you roflstomp with it.
IS-6 is some of the most fun I've had, especially now that its 7.0! Awesome, I've been waiting for this video!
Oh hey it’s the sim guy!
No matter how good the tank I'll never have a higher k/d than 2 for 1 despite having over 3k hours in game I'm rather jealous of how consistent you are lol. Great video as usual
Same dude
I hear spookston saying, "I consider a tank good if any average person can get a 3:1 KD ratio in it."
And found out I only have maybe 2 tanks with a KD better than 2:1
guess no tank is good for me lol
I just looked and my highest k/d is in the jagged panther with 30 kills to like 8 deaths. I have like 3 or 4 other vehicals with over a 2:1 k/d and I don’t have more than 25 battles in any of them.
But do you have the feeling that when on a tank doing good and get many kills, start to become boring and move to others??
Boring fast*
The commander controlled gun became an aerial in the first match lol
that reminds me to set that up in my setting, thanks
8:04 - is your commander dead, or are you just happy to win?
i love seeing heavy armour and aphe rounds vs heavy armour and aphe, seems less complicated and yet more nuanced and tactical than heat fs and apds vs paper thin steel.
I am so happy you're making a vid on it, I've been having an especially fun time in the tank.
This tank always scares me when I face it, I never seem to be able to pen it. Great vid odd! Hope you are doing well!
Use cheatfs
T114 goes pew pew
just shoot the bigger mantlet from the right ( of you facing it ). its only 150mm thick.
Aim for the drivers hatch
Medium tank maneuverability. Heavy tank gun. Russian Stalinium armor. Is it ANY wonder this this is a threat on the battlefield?
IS-6 was (is) my most favored tank on WOT, even got my heavy mission 15 (the 1st ever mission questlines, way back)
Good to see it's a damn good tank on Warthunder
thanks for the content ;)

Love ur vids odd ❤️ keep doing what ur doing we all love u. Nearly 100k let’s go!

God I love your cheeky editing. Great sense of humour. I haven't played war thunder in like 8 years but I watch your videos just for you.

Bro I swear you German and Russian mains are such babies, crying to gaijin Becuz u can’t one shot a usa tank at frontal armor. Y’all needa get better
the T29 unlike the IS-6 is over-br'd though. The IS-6 is practically unstoppable unless you have HEAT. Its direct counter the T114 has been moved up from 6.7 to 7.3 for some god forsaken reason too.

Ouch, you stomped then dude!
Great video again, always good to hear your thought process as you are playing. Very useful.
You are my only respite as I continue to grind the Japanese tech tree, STAs have me dead
The IS-6 was one of the best thing I bought in WT, I went from the T-35-85 and IS-2 to the IS-4 in less than a month. Also get a talisman for the IS-3 for that line up with the T-44-100 and BMP-1. Hands down one of the strongest line ups I have played)
I love ATGMS and the IS series but i grinded the tiger and stuff, regretting it rn
Im getting so hyped for 100k you deserve more!
the tortoise and the FV4005 in game three were the same person lol poor soul
IS 6 is a pain to deal with for most countries at 7.0 but you make it look terrifying. If I hadn't already learned how to kill them I would be very upset right now. I do believe you just destroyed the whole "heavy tanks are bad in a uptier' Line that some people like repeating.
Good game dude.
Thx Bawz u r all I’ve been wanting to watch since I’ve been stuck in the house because of COVID
7.0?! this tank was great at 7.3! Thanks to all the heat slingers and dart throwers in and around 8.0 this got dropped. Now it’s armor will mean something again! Yaw YEET!!
You should play the super conqueror. Definitely one of the last good heavy tanks.
Im watching you , phlydaily and dollarplays for over year now and cant still decide who bring more joy on my face :(
IS-6 used to be the quintessential example of Russian Bias. Didn't it come out at 6.7 or something initially? Wasn't it the reason the M46 got its first HEAT round too? Jesus this thing used to auto-win games all by itself.
7.0
this thing at 7.0 is a crime
My only experieces with the IS-6 so far is to be vaporized by one in a full uptier while trying to spade my Centurion Mk 1
Hey everyone, hope your day is wonderful :)
Hello, Bernardo! I hope your day is wonderful too! :)
@@OddBawZ thanks Odd, from a Portuguese fan! :)
Glad to see you play it Odd! I’ve logged about half my war thunder hours on that machine and I love it, the only downside is that to “even it out” they put it against 70s stuff. Cool they dropped the BR tho
IS is probably my favorite tank family of all time. They're just so cool. The only cons are the reload speed and gun depression I think.
Hey @OddBawZ I just got my first nuke few hours ago, and it was crazy, my heart almost exploded.
I didn't even realize how i got that mush SP
Bought this on a whim around Christmas and it’s the most fun I’ve had in WT in a long time. The sheer amount of people you can bait to shoot you is unreal (it faces Germany so no surprise there)
IS-6 being at 7.0 gives me another reason to not return to the game to enjoy other nations. Thanks Gaijin, for not wasting my time.
7.0 means it won't have to deal with helicopters its literally still fighting the exact same thing.
Your teammates are your enemies disguised in blue we understand OddBawZ
I look forward to your videos every day, keep up the awesome content!
I'm always taken aback by how modest you are Odd. What a beast of a tank and tanker.
IS 6 vibing until an STA - 3 pops a HEAT FS shell at the ammorack
people have for as long as i can remember asked why Russian produced and designed Tanks don't have Gun Depression.
i can answer that with a really simple answer. *you are not allowed to be depressed in Soviet Russia*
Hey, if u loathe bad gun depression, why dont you try the swedish tanks? ;)
Love your vid btw, keep up the good work!
Yes, I got fed up with Russia. I won't bother with china either
Swedish tanks: "What is armour? What is speed? Why am I so light and slow at the same time? Please don't kill me with your .50 Cal."
geez the amount of confidence you have with the IS-6 scares me. keep up the good stuff !
Alternate title: Vodka C H O N K
The moment the leo rangefinder absorb that 122mm, remind me of leo that absorded my T55A APFSDS into thin air on UFP and optic
Day 1 of asking Odd to play Sprocket Tank Design and make the most OP tank for warthunder
shot at 18:29 was impressive, nicely done
Why this one has same BR as IS3, which has worse reload and mobility? Also holy compression Gaijin, stop pushing things down in BR.
IS-7 is my favorite looking tank in the game. IS-6 isn’t too bad either.
True
Odbawlz intro: so today I broke up the UN using the m22 locust
id totally watch a two hour video lol
i really appreciate this style of vide though, i asked you if you could do a spadding video on one of your vids but this is really nice and probably much easier for you and potentionaly shorter than spading a tank! Thankyou so much i really enjoyed this :).
Ahh i love one hitting this thing straight to hits turret with American Tank destroyers. Cuts through it like butter
welcome to the club of getting love letters from tiger2 mains that bounced off your upper plate and u killed him thru his side after he overangled
Its ok to compliment your self. Leave the non compliments for everyone else. Odd those were incredible games. If you dont think your tank killing is great at times,just look at your place on the game. Thanks for the great video bro.
The IS-6 is super fun I'm glad to see you play it OddBawZ
in my experience the IS-6 has actually been worse at 7.0 than 7.3 as 7.0 is more prone to uptiers than 7.3 is.
Great video and what a showcase for playing heavies in an WT age of fast, light vehicles being the meta. Thank you
Good stuff! Love the smooth shots on the move!
I've seen this thing destroyed by oxy from the front using a jumbo 76.. he took out the gun then the tracks then hit the cupola, he made it look that easy.. the only thing I can pen this with is a HEAT FS.. whenever I see this thing and I don't have that round, I just backtrack and go the other way..
No story intro but an amazing vid!
IS-6 is nice.
Absolute nightmare in a full uptier. since the day i got it, i have never gotten anything but uptiers so i stopped playing the game.
Ah memory lane. When the IS-6 was at a reasonable BR.
legit thought Odd was gonna burst into rage at the 3rd game
this was my first premium, and the choice was this or the t10M, in the end im really happy with it although id does suffer a good bit in uptiers. since im not as good of a player as oddbawz xD
The T-10m isn't a premium..
German players: imma play tiger 2
Russian players:Imma play the is6
Hitler:shoots himself in the head when he finds out what he is versing
you deserve way more views man youre vids are amazing
Odd how do you make it light blue instead of dark blue
Awesome video today! 6 crazy games in search of a kdr. Those poor enemies.
dont think iv ever seen you play any the t62 tanks on the channel
This thing used to be a beast and only could be destroyed by the other beasty the Ru251.
its almost as if sometimes odd has a biased angel over him, idk how he does it
Great video Odd, when are you doing the Eland next???
Amazing video, always love a heavy tank brawl!
There needs to be a way to move your gunner or loader to use the commander's gun... unless there is already and I don't know it?
That Vickers mk 3 in the first match, what a dumb ass, I always perma fire the enemy in those instances.
Good video.. like always Oddbawsuh
Puma - 1:54 - HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME?
completely honest i would much rather face a Maus at 7.0 than one of these and that is entirely because this thing is a volumetric wet dream
Accidently went into a game with the centurion 5/1 and had a five minute standoff with an IS6 before he got me. Was in the Poland map
it was even 300mm in the mantlet and absolutely stupid op
Did you know that we would enjoy the 2 hours videos once a week?
yesterday i flick shot twice in a row two IS-2 with a tiger h1 and both of them where one shots.
Day 129: Fun fact, I died about 15 times to this today..wasn’t fun -_-
You was the best in this game
Do the Italian 3.7 m41n it feels like it got a buff
I played today (after this video came out) and there were so many IS6s running around, might be coincidence or maybe I noticed them more but there were a lot more then normal.
I'm not at this tank's br range yet, but i will dread the day when it comes.
All you have to do is make sure you're in it and not in front of it...
Those 2 are on sale and i‘m thinking hard about buying them. i‘m about to reach rank 4 and hopefully manage to buy some talismans before the sale is over. Any other recommandations instead?
I would love to play with you and learn how to get better because as it sits I don't have a bloody clue what I'm doing.
Best way to start the day is having a new video notification from OddBawz. Next best way is when he hearts your comments ♥️
Hey Odd you should play the 105 Tiger some time! Love the videos man!
Hey Odd, I know your busy making videos with stuff you like from the new update, but can we get a video on the TU-1?.
it‘s a TIS-MA that went to the gym.
Anyways love your videos, keep up the great work
IS 3, IS 6 and T 44 100 make a great lineup
5:29 that was because of the fence
The tonk is perfectly balanced when it gaijins unreal incoming enemy shots but can't lower gun enough on level ground
How can I get that tiger decal you have on the Su-11 please? :-o btw: Love your vids :-)
The only things you should fear in the IS-6 is, FV4005 and the Conway.
Oh and ATGM tanks.
If I missed any tank out type a reply please!
I'd say obj120 but that's probably always gonna be on your team
@@themistaken9571 true
I feel like those lagspikes just started happening recently, it's weird
Looks like im now forced to fight IS 3 and IS 6 in a 76 Jumbo and Panther G
You should help spread the word of Italian engineering through the P108A
