How do you think the IS-7 fairs in the game currently? Personally, I feel it does really well against certain things and then an ATGM with a Tandem Warhead decides to run your day. Are there other rare/unique tanks you would like to see on the channel or possibly revisited?
I got it back during the event, it was a lot of fun back then, but it doesn't fare as well with the increases in modern ammunition and also the repair cost is too much to play consistently
@@xtlegacy1020 I've played for a while, but only just started the russian tree. I thought it was joke about the real life tank being cheaply made or something, then i read this comment and immediately jumped onto the market place to check. Jesus. i thought $100 dollars for the Japanese tiger was ludicrous.
So today I learned that the is-7 turret is very good, and the engine is outstanding at eating shells and only slightly catching on fire. Because holy jeez, it burned for a long time
_"The ~$2000 Tank I Barely Touch"_ - I feel exactly the same way about the AMX-50 Surblindé. It's fine for what it is and theres a perfectly alright lineup around it, but I barely play the thing. Once in a while I'll take it out for a spin and that's kinda it. It just sits there.
It makes me really sad that gaijin is punishing those who have put a lot of time and effort into getting these pretty rare vehicles! Object 279, IS-7 have repair costs of over 10k the US merkavas are pretty expensive to repair as well. They should at least be cheap to repair.
No they absolutely shouldn‘t, what are you talking?? You earn double xp and silver lions so you are still making more sl than tech tree tanks if you make the same kills + they are already strong tanks at their br. At least the ones you are talking about Every sl less would make the game more pay to win, and nobody should really want this.
Non-premium event vehicles should have a silver card (as opposed to the gold premium card) with a reduced repair cost (as if it was premium) and an SL booster (as if it was premium) but no RP booster so it can't be used to research whole trees and it won't research faster. They should be more than just a collectable Tech Tree vehicle with extra steps. It's already a pain in the ass to get them, then you also have to research parts. Make them special and have a purpose.
See I think the Is-7 can still perform incredibly well at the moment, the round is about enough to pen just about anything you point at, then you have those two heavy mgs for light vehicles and tracking, the tank is incredibly fast both forward and reverse, and the Armor is still somewhat efficient at its br, albeit some rounds go through it like a knife through butter, but I find the thing incredibly good at surviving due to lots of crew and decent Armor - I spent £200-300 on mine and never regretted it at all, one of my best investments in war thunder
The IS-7 was mostly rejected bcs not only it's expensive and complex, but also it was so heavy, that they couldn't be transported by trains, which were the main way of transporting tanks closer to the battlefields
Hey Bo! I was wondering if you would ever consider bringing back the side-chat podcasts or the briefing room? I know they were a lot of work but I would love to see one of them make a comeback.
I believe that the IS-7 project was cancelled for many of the same reasons that the German Maus and the Ratt were, they were too complex, too labor intensive, too impractical and too expensive to build/ maintain.
If only there was something... some weapon or tool the tank possesses- mounted on the turret roof, for example- to shoot at aircraft. Someone should invent something like that.
Bo consistently hides. Saying I will guard this corner while you go around it and die, or he says I will come and help you and never leaves the spot he is sitting in.
Lord, that thing can take a beating - IS-4M can too sometimes, when angled right. I've had times when using the IS-4M where I just take dozens of shots over a few minutes before they finally get me - After a little bit, you end up being a distraction to the enemy team and they're all taking shots. I can't do anything to fight back but it's just hilarious sometimes.
It was way too hard to unlock back than, so.... Also those "walleyes" are ridiculously underperforming, despite the large warhead. I even had T-55s and M60s surviving them.
IS-7 is swole! 2000 bucks for a tank though... eesh. I mean, at least it is tough enough to get your money's worth. Great video, though! I may not pay 2000 bucks for a tank, but I would definitely pay at least that much to watch one of your videos!
*Begin Transmission* Day 22: You say that you barely touch the IS-7, Bo? Well, there is another tank you barely touch. The T26E4 Super Pershing is That Tank! *End Transmission*
one of the few tanks, that are probably worth the 700-1000$ price, anything above 1k for an in vehicle anything though for me is unreasonable. but considering the literal 60-70 hours a week i watched people grind for this tank, and for some that did that and still not get it, its fair
I just got a wt ad about the new update"direct hit". I'm so happy they added the new mig27m. I just hope they don't add any 4th gen aircraft like the f14 or something...would be a shame if they added the a10 with overpowered missles aswell
I bought my IS-7 for 20$, someone was selling it on the store during the event and i said. MINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then 2 months later i took a look and it went from 50-100$ up to 700-900$ Favorite tank ever. It performs well. I dont really feel like it should be at 8.3 however, 8.0 at best right next to the Object 120 and i think the object 279 should also be moved down to 8.0. If you ever want a fun lineup. IS-7, Object 120, Object 279, MiG15bis ISH It takes a bit of getting use to in the IS-7 when you are going up against stuff with thermals ect. you just need to play smart and play very aggressively while bearing in mind the IS-7 is a 70 ton F**king monster with over 1000 horse power and stupid levels of speed so use that to your advantage.

Trouble is...it'll get all the punishment it can take. What I understood from this video is that as soon as they ID you as an IS-7, you become the target of every advanced weapon on the map. Not very fun when _everybody_ is shooting at just you.
I believe the IS7 was built in the mid-1950's, which is insane considering what it could've gone up against. Unfortunately it was bananas expensive and very unreliable, plus the development of chemical and sub-caliber rounds nullified the armor
The is7 did its testing trials between 1946 and 47 before getting cancelled for being too heavy and expensive. And people wonder why historical matchmaking is a bad idea, the is7 and the pershing would be similar BR, or the leopard 1 being the same BR as a t64

they use it in the milk truck video a little bit
I can’t believe that the IS-7 took a walleye, that really amazes me.
famous last words from Bo, the fire got bigger
5:00 the t10s were actually the is-5s, though they did take massive inspiration from the is3 in the way that their armour was layed out.
