I personally believe that's its really not fair for any tank similar to the is-6 facing 8.7 tanks which are just superior . I own it and my experience with it at 7.7 is bad
@@SAKOSNIPER Yes i agree that 8.7 Russia is very strong but when you face 8.7 tanks in your IS-6 it is very difficult to do well in it. For example the 8.3 Turm iii is going to absolutely destroy the IS-6
I also love one tapping cats while they only manage to get a track 😂 joke bro I see lots of is6 these days and most of them don't even know what planet are they on lmao
Don't forget it's also a ranker higher, from R4 to R5, letting me once again incorporate it into my USSR 7.7 lineup. Goes nicely with the talisman bmp1 (why dey nerf my bueaty 😭) and t10A (IS-3 if no t10A, IS-6 is basically a chonky medium anyway).
Explosive filler past ~70g is basically pointless, you’ll one shot almost everything at that point. You’ll get that with 85mm APHEBC Type 58 (Chinese 85mm). 122mm rounds contain more than enough, even with the reduced filler in BR-471D.
No, it isnt. It faces so many things with HEATFS that just completely outperform it. It actually fucking sucks unless you get a downtier, which I've never had so far.
@@mr.waffentrager4400 The B round also keeps the bullshit soviet angle modifier found only in APHEBC, where it basically overmatches armor lower than half of the gun's caliber (similar to the 1/3 in World of B*llshitanks). That is why the KV220 can penetrate the side of a Panther D at practically any angle.
@agustingm1234 the French ARL44 with its 90mm can also pretty much lolpen panther side because of ots caliber.. its not wxclusove to russian tanks. It's based on caliber, check out the damage mechanics WT wiki
@@petrkdn8224 APHEBC slope modifier was given to APDS rounds when they first appeared with the M41 Walker bulldog. A similar slope modifier was given to APBC rounds shortly after DeMarre was added, which made rounds like the one on the T30 be able to go through the UFP of a Tiger II for a short time. APHEBC was never nerfed, which makes it way better than what you see on the stat card.
dude old B round is better than the newly added D round but they all suck anyway because its 205 and 230 flat pen at 7.7 and you always get uptiered to 8.7
The B round is actually far superior to the D round, on paper the D looks better but the b still has better angle pen to the point that it can frontaly pen a T 26E5 and over American heavy tanks while the D round can't
It's trash rn, 9 out of 10 games are full uptiers and u just go against things that are stabilizer/faster and can pen you anywhere. Should have stayed at 7.3 where you basically get uptiers only 50% of the time don't get it
yeah 7.7 is sucked up to f8.7 because of the t-55 horde. also filler matters until you hit 100g. beyond that they might as well be just numbers on a screen since they will always oneshot. so the new round literally have no downsides
Awesome luv the Germain line Thats so great to hear but these days America is bad like Germany was but might be even worse now with the games I have seen lately
IS-6 used to be so fun and now it sucks. Actually that trend goes for any heavy tank. Gaijin has made all heavy tanks obsolete. Apparently going 100kmph and having APFSDS isn't the meta I guess. It's actually being a slow piece of immobile shit with a meh gun with a shittier reload. Gaijin needs to fix this shit man. There's a reason the M18, EBR 1954, Rakatenautomat, etc are so good and heavy tanks so weak. It's mobility and firepower! This game is so unfair
@@jonnymcjonface6068 - I'm level 52 and the majority of my battles are uptiers as well. And against lots of people who have 1000s of hours in the game.
It's definitely not just skill, the tanks are so outmatched by the leo and t80s that they just don't stand a chance. Leo sometimes takes practically no small damage when penned and the Russian mbts are just even worse.
I guess i'm the only one who thinks IS-6 is overtiered at 7.7.This thing does not deserve to be at same BR with Maus.
I agree, every time I play the is-6 I get up tiered to 8.7 about every time I try to play it. 8.7 is absolute hell.
I miss is6 it was such a cool and great heavy tank i loved i will always rember i will always rember the glory days :(
i want my money back i trade it for a n t29 it sucks at 7.7 200 pen at 7.7 what a joke
same, always 8.3 uptiers and with long range maps with no rangefinder should be 7.3
I agree
Is 6 almost always gets uptiered to 8.7 and its almost useless now
I personally believe that's its really not fair for any tank similar to the is-6 facing 8.7 tanks which are just superior . I own it and my experience with it at 7.7 is bad
Full uptiers are rough, but 8.7 Russia is very strong, so you should still be winning matches. The T-10A is probably a better premium though

Aa a Tiger 2 main, I'm still 1 tapping these IS6 players and watching them immediately leave. Even with a fill lineup. Its beautiful

Underrated channel
The new shell doesn't make it overpowered. It has more penetration but much less explosive filler, and explosive filler is very important.
lmao the BR471D has 125g of explosive filler.
meanwhile the tiger 2 long 88mm has only 108g of filler and that gun one shots anyone.
@@SnafuWT Sure, but it still doesnt make it overpowered.

“Op again” yet tiger 2’s at 6.7 cut right through it

50 grams less of TNT though :(
also less angled pen, so much i use the B shell on my IS4m. i dont know why sako said it has better angled pen

Been watching too many stimpee videos😂
Love how is6 got br increase but gets better round and every other tank in other nations just get br increase and its good enough 😂
pssst some say russian BIAS is a myth
Is6 basically only plays in 8.7

It can't pen a T26E5 UFP imo i never got UFPed by an IS tank in my T26E5.
I was actually interested in buying this tank during the sale
Do it im loving it bro it at 7.7 is not the end of the world

How is a better round? Angle pen and filler matter more than base pen in this case surely?

I bought the T -55-Am-1 instead of the IS-6 😂😅
Better pick really
@@SAKOSNIPER Agree because it is uptiers most of the time even when I play the T-55.
I still the think the IS 6 is better than the To-55 😂

is-6 is good and all until you face a tank that uses heat. or leopard 1.
Or a TAM with APFSDS.
i swear to god every time i play a russian heavy i meet every heat slinger in the game
D shell is barely a buff. It has WAY less angled penetration and in 80% of the cases B shell is still the better one.
YOU don't get uptiers because, YOU are a content creator mean while the rest of the rank 100 bottom feeders get uptiers EVERYFCKING GAME!

No it doesnt
@@zrayx7214 maybe just a skill issue then, I have no issues
@@robertmatecka345 it can be played in an uptier but you cant rely on your best feature, armor
I highly enjoy bullying IS-6s in my 8.7 Sweden lineup, they deserve no sympathy.
Nikita mazepin goated
Bankrupting Haas a little bit at each corner
Nikita mazepin (spelling? lol) I remember when the IS-6 was the best thing you could grind out the Rooskie tech tree with. Those were the days 😔
and the BR-471B round is better round then BR-47 D
Woof woof
OP !!! haha
471D has worse angled performance.
US has very low WR top tier next to italy and i dont think its just because of skill
It's definitely not just skill, the tanks are so outmatched by the leo and t80s that they just don't stand a chance. Leo sometimes takes practically no small damage when penned and the Russian mbts are just even worse.
nikita what?
Nikita Mazespin
No.. make 2 kills per round with it..
Nikita Mazepin
Is4M is still better
Gajub is so funny when "balancing" russian stuff...... Increase BR but give it better shell. Other tanks just get increased BR without "compensation"
It sux with all the HE bullshit (Vidmar) it is not for that br. And HEAT it sux . Reload is killer for it.
IS3 better lol
