USSR-IS-3.png

The tier 8 IS-3 has more agility and speed than the German Tiger 2. The IS3 finds itself very at-home with close-quarters combat. While not having as strong frontal armor as it's German counterpart, it more than makes up for this with it's speed and agility. A good IS-3 driver will be able to use their tank's speed to come out on top in a battle against a Tiger 2. It's playing style is more suited to an aggressive run and gun technique, while it's German counterpart is suited for long range engagements. However, with this in mind, a good Tiger 2 driver will know to keep an IS-3 tracked so it cannot get close enough to use it's speed and agility to circle to the Tiger 2's weak side and rear armor. The IS-3 will find itself more suited to urban maps and other maps which allow it to take cover and move to get close to it's target.

Research along the IS-3 tree leads to the IS-4.

Historical Info

Designed in 1944, with 29 vehicles produced by the end of WWII and 2,282 by mid-1946.

This tank had improved armour layout, and a hemispherical cast turret (resembling an overturned "soup bowl") which became the hallmark of post-war Soviet tanks. While this low, hemispherical turret may have made the IS-3 better protected, it also imposed severe penalties inside the tank by significantly diminishing the working headroom, especially for the loader (Soviet tanks in general are characterized by uncomfortably small interior space compared to Western tanks). The low turret also limited the maximum depression of the main gun, since the gun breech had little room inside the turret to pivot on it's vertical axis. As a result, the IS-3 was less able to take advantage of hull-down positions than Western tanks. The IS-3's pointed prow earned it the nickname Shchuka (Pike) by it's crews. It weighed slightly less than the IS-2 and stood 30 cm lower.

The IS-3 came too late to see action in World War II. Though some older sources claim that the tank saw action at the end of the war in Europe, there are no official reports to confirm this. It is now generally accepted that the tank saw no action against the Germans, although one regiment may have been deployed against the Japanese in Manchuria.

Starting in 1960, the IS-3 was slightly modernized as the IS-3M, in a manner similar to the IS-2M.
