I remember facing this thing in my stock 6.0 Tiger E years ago. When there was no armour showcase and this monster was at 7.0. I bounced 3 times on his flat side then cried and died. I wish you a good recovery Odd
Hey odd you rock for putting out these vids even when you're under the weather. It was awesome playing w you on stream last night and I hope you get your heart stuff sorted out soon!
It's almost ironic. The War Thunder TH-camr who (in my opinion) puts some of the most heart and emotion into his channel has issues with his heart. Stay healthy and safe Bawz, your videos are apart of a select group I'm always excited for 😊
5:13 I’ve noticed sometimes if it looks super dark, go to the menu, click on options, then close the menu and it will brighten back up I don’t know how or why that works but I discovered it on accident. It doesn’t always work but it is 100% noticeable difference when it does
I just love seeing IS 3 player that angling their hull but completely exposing their ufp that become a flat surface. You can only angling when you have a cover to hide your ufp because your frontal armor is already angled.
Fortunately, gaijin mainly uses stats as balancing which isn’t good at all but at the same time if it was all community input for balancing then stuff like the 2h would be at like 6.0
You know, I was feeling tired, watching Phly’s video, then I see odd uploaded A extra 20-30 minutes of staying up never hurts, keep up the great work odd!❤️
Hope your okay Odd, I had similar heart issues a few years ago and they stuck a wire into my heart and burned out some not ideal bits. I hope they do not have to do anything as drastic for you.
@@destroyerarmor2846 Yeah, our allies (Russia and China) became our greatest adversaries while Japan and Germany became our close allies. Funny how that works lol
I wasn't sure I should spade the IS3 until I saw this video. I seams like a good tank in the right situations,a monster in a downtier which might not be so uncommon since 6.7 is such a common br for most nations and if you get an uptier the T 44 100 will work great
Sadly its nighttime here so I'll watch this tomorrow, but I'll comment now so others can see what an amazing TH-camr you are, love ya Odd I will watch this in the morning ❤
yep, this thing didnt see any battle (during ww2), it was basically only used in the victory parade, it looked scary and intimidating, but it had so many problems
I have no idea how OddBawZ has enough luck to have a barrel or a track :D My experience with russian heavies is once you shoot you can say goodbye to your tank, unless you have a chance to traverse back in time. And i have no idea why some players are aiming at the is3 front plate with conventional rounds.
They are likely taking chance shots at the barrel. They have no other option, as heavies like this are in a weird spot balance wise. Conventional rounds are next to useless from the front, and any vehicle with HEAT or darts will negate the armor entirely. Best option if you have Conventional rounds is to hail Mary the barrel and hopefully force him back to repair
I am heavy weapons guy, and this *122mm gun* is my weapon, she fires 25kg custom cartridges with over 240 grams of TNT equivalent at 3 rounds per minute.
Any else remember a year or 2 ago when the devs said they had a whole new weather system with dynamic in game weather and they used the example "start raining at the beginning of the game then by the end it's sunny" well I do and I haven't seen it yet
I have seen it once, it was a beautiful surprise when i tried to cross an open field with my side armour and the rainy weather changed in a split second and i got clubbed back to the hangar, it was almost fun.
Fact: The Is-3 did fought in Ww2 since the European war ended they were transported to the Far East and fought in the Soviet invasion of Manchuria but there is little evidence of them fighting in Manchuria since there’s only few of them
Hé odd,the is 3 was used by the egyptian army during the 6 day war. It was better at taking hits then anything else due too the massive amount of problems it had
there are lots of vehicles that are hard to pen frontally at their BR. just track, barrel and go round to their side. works on the IS-3 too. Tiger II can pen it from the front, but you have to aim for the weakspot, which is about as big as an mg port.
SU 9 in a video? It was actually the SU 9 instead of the Premium SU 11. That alone is amazing. Rare footage of a plane that gets a battle rating that is to high because it looks like another plane, the SU 11, that itself looks similar to a couple of planes that it outperforms. Thank you for playing the forgotten SU 9.
I mean, factually speaking; the IS-3 had little to no combat experience. It was only used in the victory parade in Berlin at the end of the war, which spooked both the UK and the USA to make the Conqueror & M103 respectively. Edit: France also got the spooks from seeing the IS-3 and the AMX-50 was created as a result.
True, very much true however it did have combat experience later during the 6 day war in the 1950s where Israeli M48s did little damage to the IS-3M model. The only reason Israel captured IS-3s and experimented with them was due to the fact that it did not perform well in the desert and the reload was too slow against the more mobile M48 tanks and it suffered heavily in mobility.
My is3 gameplays 90% time reparing the gun and the cannon breech and reloading after the repair is done and if the enemy hasnt pushed you yet you can go for a shot
3:27 IS-3 does saw action during the Yom kippur war againts the israeli Sho't kals being operated by the egyptian army, according to some report it even took a lot of shot to bring this Bear of a tank down in hull down position, still with all the mechanical drawbacks it didn't help the arabs win.
i have noticed the graphics don't load fully for the first game i get into so i go back to hanger and start again fixed. Giajins broken it again. Its reflection's not loading i think.
In reality - the IS-3 did have cool specs on paper, but was actually a pretty lousy fighting vehicle, with extremely cramped crew quarters, a turret that didn't exactly fitted the lower part (unsurprising, as they were designed by two different bureaus) and as a result systems that mismatched all the time between the two. I mean, it did look scary.. And looking scary was all it was actually used for, as it was clear it will not even survive one minute on a real battlefield. However, in Warthunder.. :-).

very similar story here hahaha
Upper sides will bounce your shell
the flats are actually fake, the real side has much harsher angles
DO YOU LOVE FIGHTING THIS THING IN YOUR KING TIGER? :)
Hi Odd love the content! ❤️

It does

@@khameriengibson1975 ooh, alright. Thanks :)
Your videos always get me in the mood for some WT. Thanks Odd.
I love hearing German mains complain that their guns can’t go through the front of this tank as if it wasn’t fucking designed to do that lmao
Fortunately, gaijin mainly uses stats as balancing which isn’t good at all but at the same time if it was all community input for balancing then stuff like the 2h would be at like 6.0
Sadly the other 7.0 heavies are squishy as hell, like the Americans, the IS3 has no real weakspot outside of HEATFS
Kinda like the Tiger II and Maus. Yet here we are.
@@V-V1875-h only the shot trap but it's RNG based so...not really a weakspot.
@@shaggings meanwhile on T29 or t34 you just shoot anywhere and kill it
You know, I was feeling tired, watching Phly’s video, then I see odd uploaded
A extra 20-30 minutes of staying up never hurts, keep up the great work odd!❤️
Panthers really are a "minor inconvenience" in this thing lmao :-) Love the is3, love the vid, get better soon!
Always fun to see a Panther player trying to reverse
I was thinking about TF2 and this is the first thing I see! Awesome
Ive been playing this tank along with the IS6 and T44 7.0 version. Its less frustrating than other nations and very forgiving when taking shots.
Play the IS-4M next, it's slower, with theoretically thicker armor, but HEATFS and APDS doesn't care. It's painful.
I remember how much I despised that thing in the stock grind, but once I spaded it, it actually became a pretty good tank
Hope your okay Odd, I had similar heart issues a few years ago and they stuck a wire into my heart and burned out some not ideal bits. I hope they do not have to do anything as drastic for you.
This tank can be fun at 7.0 and especially at a down tier, until you get bumped up to 8.0 where almost everything has heat and apds
Monty sharted his pants when the Is3s rolled through the Victory parade.
Patton had the right idea though
@@destroyerarmor2846 Yeah, our allies (Russia and China) became our greatest adversaries while Japan and Germany became our close allies. Funny how that works lol
Daily uploads on point!
Can you please play the ARL44 (ACL)
Lol this tank invincible at low tier, except getting bombed by suck revenger
Take care of yourself odd your health matters above everything
I always learn a lot watching your videos. Hope you feel better soon!

So good to see my notifications with a OddBawz video daily! You da man!
Feel better homie great video !!!!
I love how everyone dies in the kill cam before APHE detonates.
It's because it's overpressures
Hope you're feeling better soon Oddbawz
Great Video as always :), is there a chance we might be getting a Top Tier video sometimes soon? 2a6 or T80Bvm?
its 5am, have been learning Sweden the whole night and i should get some rest but i don't want to miss this video out
Nice goodie for a rainy day! Hope you got some rest, Odd.
Another good morning watching Odd :D

These videos just cheer me up so much, love the content as always Odd !
I got my first nuke in the IS-3 just a few days ago. Thing is a BEAST!
Best I’ve gotten is 7 kills in the obj 906, I play the is-3 but it’s barely got parts and fpe so I can’t say for sure.

@@chez6459 The 6-Day War wasn't in the 50s. It was in 1967.
@@liladoodle oh was it? I thought it was the 50s
I genuinely think turret cheeking a tiger 2 is the most satisfying shot in war thunder.
an IS3 got sideshotted at 1.5KM range from a Nashorn...just imagine that..."Captain,...I see a spot in the distance..."...oh..a tank, FIRE !!
My is3 gameplays 90% time reparing the gun and the cannon breech and reloading after the repair is done and if the enemy hasnt pushed you yet you can go for a shot
How are you facing so many king tigers😂 Whenever i play the IS3 it’s just leopards and BMP1s and just general HEATFS
He plays a lot of matches and only picks the good ones
Epic, comrade!

Man can you find a more hard working youtuber than Odd?

Tis Ma OP.
i have noticed the graphics don't load fully for the first game i get into so i go back to hanger and start again fixed. Giajins broken it again. Its reflection's not loading i think.
I almost never saw this thing with Tiger 2 H
But the Obj 120 is everywhere
The areas where the pike nose of the is 3 meet can be pend by even a Pershing I use that to flank them
