The IS-3A is a Soviet tier 8 premium heavy tank.
In 1956–1957, the Military Armored Forces Academy developed a speculative design for a new loading system on the IS-3 and T-10 heavy tanks. The IS-3 variant featured a double-row ammo rack with an automatic loading system. The crew was reduced to three members: commander, gunner, and driver. The turret was redesigned in order to accommodate the loading mechanism. The vehicle existed only in blueprints.

Performance
This tank generally plays as a regular IS-3. It has good armour and a gun that is designed for close-range brawling. However, there are some noteworthy differences: The IS-3A has a weak engine that limits its mobility, especially when trying to climb. As a result, it pays to keep the IS-3A on flat terrain and, if possible, on city streets. The gun, with its rapid rate of fire and good penetration is an excellent damage dealer (2000 dpm). However, unlike the other Tier 8 Russian heavies, the IS-3A gets HEAT ammunition for its premium ammunition, rather than APCR, which requires more careful target selection, which, when combined with the gun's poor accuracy can be a problem. The tank's massive damage dealing potential makes this tank ideal for earning credits. Compared to the IS-6, the most common Russian Tier-8 premium, the IS-3A's ammunition is slightly more expensive. However, this is more than off-set by the improved penetration, which means that it is rarely necessary to use premium rounds. The main down-side of the IS-3A is that its unique crew layout makes it a poor crew-trainer, since none of the Russian heavy tanks have an auto-loader.
