Had an arty focus me the whole game few weeks back, I ended up alone vs it, so I just kept it tracked and kept ramming it gently untill the player rage quit, very satisfying
Thanks for the vid, Daki. The IS-7 still holds a place with me, maybe because of nostalgia or maybe because of the challenge in current meta. I do wish they’d give it proper Russian HEAT.
Hey Daki, is there any chance for you to make some video about CW map planning like what is the good way to plan landings and how to advance over the map, schedule teams, optimal way to obtain fame points, clan lab boosters etc. I know that not a hot topic but there is not much hands-on info out there and I'd trust your opinion on that matter before anyone else. Cheers!
Ahhh I made the mistake of grinding up to this but never bought it due to lack of credits. I think I'll be giving this thing a pass. Thank you for saving me a few mil.
Several tanks in the game are neglected or quietly nerfed, (but not de-monetized) when WG showcases vehicle offers they want to sell players. I've tried to justify playing the IS-7 but you're right - it's not what it should be in the game.
For a tank that was supposedly near indestructible at it's time IS-7 really is a joke in the game. Not really a Tier X material. Apart from speed it's just... meh. There are so few places where you can actually hide the terrible lower plate. And since hulldown is the HT meta you get smacked everywhere. Shame.
It's what a balanced tier 10 heavy should be, fast in a straight line but only really downhill, sluggish on the turn, good gun for trading but derpy for snaps and range, great turret armour but can't use every position because of gun depression, enough hull armour to troll and bully lower tiers and a good slap of HP. A tank good for brawling but not all round good and with weaknesses. Trouble is so many tier 10 heavies are just much better. Others need bringing down to it's sort of level than raising others up, which would give the mediums more room to breather IMO.
My issue with the IS-7 is the ammo capacity. 30 shells just isnt enough when you account for potato aim, RNG and just not penning. Also Daki these style videos are 10/10. Can you do a JgpzE100 video sometime :)
You're right, it happened me too a few days ago, I found an ally vz55 (I was in 277) on Siegfried line and we managed to perfectly alternate each other, very satisfying. Also would love to see you play the fv215b heavy. Love your vids as always
I dont use a rammer on my IS7. I use HP, turbo, track thingy. What I like to do is go to light tank positions (you go 60+ in this bad boy with this setup) and just ram the shit out of everyone. Makes me feel strong.
i hate the IS7 too, i hate its magical armor. in the old days where team damage is possible, i once shot my own IS7 with JPE100 at the rear turret, and it bounced. it was the start of the game, i was in the JPE100 driving behind friendly IS7, my hand slipped and i fired my gun when it was pointing straight at the IS7 rear turret, and it bounced. i also hate that magic space bar on the side, the chance to pen the IS7 from the side with another IS7 is 99.5%, once you lower it a bit to the magic BS, the chance to pen goes down to 57% to 7x%. and with a little big of angling, the side space magic goes to auto bounce. i hate the no weakspot turret too. but now there are many more OP tanks, IS7 is not the hardest thing to deal with anymore, but it is the trollnesss of it that is annoying, it just saves the driver for no reason and is very noob friendly.
Hi I'm a novice player, and I bought this tank last month. However, all my friends make fun of me, claiming that the IS-7 is outdated and a weak tank. Because so many people say this, I feel disappointed in the IS-7. Can you tell me if the IS-7 is still reliable?
I support going for G.W. E100 arty player, every time. That was very satisfying. Yes i think iS-7 should get 340-350 mm ApCR pen, and a little better RNG, that would kinda make it a unique gun on a unique tank.
@@vojtechralis6075 I would also like to see the AP pen increase on iS-7, not just APCR, many tier 9 has better AP pen. For instance Conqueror has 259/326, T-10 and M103 has 258/340, amx 50/120 257/325, amx m4-51 257/315, wz 111 1/4 244/340 and the list goes on. Only three tier 9 heavy on par with iS-7 penetration is 50 TP/EmiL 2/prog 66, and the only worse is Type 4. In tier 9 !!! HEAT guns also keep their pen over distance, while APCR drops, so iS-7 basically has a tier 9 gun. It would also be nice to hit something, while chinese tier 9s can HEAT pen iS-7 from 500 meter in some bushes. I think 265/325 or 265/330 would be a good starting point. I admire you for only wanting better gun stats, bud sadly WG has made a game that doesnt reward aiming.
@@Anders357 Or the alpha damage buff, all the new heavies with 130mm canon added recently have around 530-560 dmg and great dpm while is-7 still has 490 and shitty dpm.
I rage sold the is7 after a game who had sir Foch on the enemy team so I actually recorded the match from his pov. I think all my shots missed if I remember
IS7 becomes faster than most medium tanks when it runs grousers and turbo and has 2.8k hp with hardening. It's also a devastating rammer with the speed build. Play it like a pre-nerf bobject with a turret, like iyouxin does.
Don't even need grousers. Removed speed governor and turbo is enough to get 20+ hp/t then use the mod to maintain speed. Instead of grousers equip spall liner to ram and helps with arty nuisances.
@@ShapeshifterOS Grousers makes it turn much faster and maintain speed while turning. You will maintain high speeds a lot more of the time and have a much better hit rate with your rams if you run grousers trust me. And you dont need a spall liner to win a ram against 90% of tanks with the IS7. It's heavy as fuck and armored as fuck
@@toby1248 Spall liner gives that chance to 1 shot some tanks though. So far I've had no problem hitting rams. Extra weight behind the rams never hurts.
@@ShapeshifterOS the IS7 weighs 70 tons. The spall liner makes virtually no difference. Everything you gain in weight you lose in speed If you're hitting all your rams you're clearly not going for aggressive enough attempts. Try doing it in an E50M or AMX50B, see how much real agility can get you, then come back to the IS7 to go for the oneshot memes
I can even work with low pen (which is annoying, true) if I could connect shots more reliably. Surprisingly however, I've just checked, I have almost 71% hit ratio, strange. Ok, WG just give me better gun handling on IS-7. GG bro!
Daki chef, will you do a video on the T95 at some point? Would love to know your opinion and some tips for the tank, also I think it would be a very nice addition cause you already made a vid on the Tortoise and most other American tier 9 heavies.
Wow, that position on Tundra! Who knew? It will be nerfed out like most situational OP positions have been. But cool! This is the first time I've ever wanted to play that map. :)
If I was in a tank that had better gold ammo lol love to see people get butthurt over arty play, they shoot twice a minute and focus aggressive players, how dare they lol.
@@Dakillzor You surely have been in games where you think to yourself , pity there isnt an arty in our team to change a situation your in . Only 1 though ))
Had an arty focus me the whole game few weeks back, I ended up alone vs it, so I just kept it tracked and kept ramming it gently untill the player rage quit, very satisfying
I'd love to watch that replay bro, justice brought upon him ruffly :D
Poor guy was justified. You were clearly the biggest threat he saw in the enemy team. 😆
tbh that arty is smart lol going for the is7 is vital
Yeah, that's nice and all, but know what even better? To ram it in reverse.
Still one of my absolute favourite WoT moments ever
Was it a WG panther lol?
I bought the IS7 last week for some reason, I probably had a stroke…
anyone else remember when the russain med line was specail because not every tank had 340 gold pen
Playing the IS-7 without stabs would make me feel old as well. Sure HP is good, but this is a derpy soviet gun without 340mm heat
Only if i thad 340 heat :D
the most satisfying 10 seconds of content at 6:36 gg
Thanks for the vid, Daki. The IS-7 still holds a place with me, maybe because of nostalgia or maybe because of the challenge in current meta. I do wish they’d give it proper Russian HEAT.
The IS7 deserves to get slightly better gun handling these days tho

I havn't really been planning for the longest time tbf, to much time investment
I still love the IS-7. Got my first 10k in it.
Your thumbnails are a masterpiece. I'm dying laughing every fuckin time xD
How dare they experiment on the Mighty "Ioseph Stalin Version 7"? 😂🤣😂🤣😂
(Only old-gamers will catch the joke!)
i really love your thumbnails :D
that thumbnail picture though
I saw a T49 use that position on Tundra. He did pretty well but ended up sliding off and killing himself.
*TRIGGERED* :D You bashing my old love definitely pushes my buttons. Just because you're right doesn't mean you're right, ya know?
Bro didn't turbocharge his is7
I think this experimental equipment in the second slot does very similar to the turbo + adds some further benefits
The IS-7 is a 4.5K tank? Can I get a refund because mine ain't anywhere near that?
Making the arty player blow himself up, WoT video of the year already. o7
Lmao love the revenge on the arty player
I really enjoy the IS-7, such a dummy tank which ks just fun to play most of the time. rn its my most used tank
thats the moist blyatifull meatball ever
im loving the vids daki, please don't stop
what about another kinda old meta tank like Obj. 140
daki you could have gotten a faydins

You just had to show that position Tundra didn't ya?
@dakilzor what are the settings to see arty shoot?
It's a crew perk, i believe the commander
Next tank request: T92 arty
to me IS7 is better than 277, sure 277 gun and speed is better, but 277 is made out of paper, mainly when people using HEAT
What's up Daki ! What happened to daily videos ? Are you having any problems irl ?
No, just not that much time
ggs, thnx
Is7 gun is so bad...plus 30 shells....they have to change something

Daki: complains about the IS7 the whole match.
Also Daki: 8.5k

8.5k? Easy, i have 8.5 with IS7 with no effort. Trhough 3 battles. Combined.

Some tier 9 heavies like conqueror and amx 51 are already better than is7 imho, not even talking about concept 1b or tier10 heavies
Still got not enough DPM or pen .
I like play IS7 but it's a nightmare to play sometimes .

I agree run out of ammo a lot this and is 4 need ammo buffs
ammo limitations is one of the worst mechanics in WOT
I love it when Daki said ”It’s Daki time” and just Daki all over the place.
Did he say this in reference to when in the winter of 1991 Mikhail Gorbachev said "Its gorbin time" and the soviet union dissolved?
I hope Daki will daki in my mouth😩😩😩
The only time I found this funny
that arty kill in the 1st battle was so satisfying
biggest thing is7 needs is russian heat. not apcr garbage.
I have never seen that climb before. Definitely going to abuse that. Great video, Daki!
Daki, you need to press W more. Look at iyouxin! he's doing awesome in IS-7 xD
is7 speed build is the only fun way to play it

i hate the no weakspot turret too.
but now there are many more OP tanks, IS7 is not the hardest thing to deal with anymore, but it is the trollnesss of it that is annoying, it just saves the driver for no reason and is very noob friendly.
this guy 45 km/h in is7 looks like my 75km/h light tanks speed...

I love the is7. My best heavy performer. Gun is annoying, sure, but when the armour works it's hilarious 😊. I got 7.5k blocked damage a few days ago.
Dude, you can take a freakin' tractor and still make 8k in tier 10!

How about just reducing the dispersion values by 25% and keeping the tank as is. Not everything needs to have great gold penetration.

WoT map update tomorow, invisible wall on that rock position in last game. 😒
Still my most played tank. All it needs is a slightly better gun and it would be meta again.
where did you get the components???
I have 65% winrate in this tank over a solid amount of battles. Skill issue.
Dakis "hello gameeers" always sounds so cute :3
Is7 has only 1 role in the game, to speed build and ram teir 10 meds for their entire hp pool
IS-7 needs a gun buff, standard pen is a joke, premium pen is bad too.
Bro drops my dmg record and just pulls the "we'll take it"
I rage sold the is7 after a game who had sir Foch on the enemy team so I actually recorded the match from his pov.
I think all my shots missed if I remember
This tank is very powerful while pushing, platoon of it and 2× CS63 is sick
If anyone in the office doesn't like me I'm going to tell people I must of stole their food
the is7 needs 260 standard and 330 heat and raising the alpha to 520
Lemmingrush called the is7 the auto win tank...
I think the Arty hates your guts because you're spamming gold ammo AND in a WoT Press Account.
How would he know though
Yah because you only play tanks with high gold pen
Hello dakillzor, thanks for the content as always and the quality thumbnail
You got Jack Black in for the thumbnail?
