Side note for penny pinchers- for those that want to save every last penny, instead of buying the IS-6 from the gift shop, go to the "get gold" menu and buy 12,000 gold amount which is only $49.95, you can then buy the IS-6 in game and be left over with 200 gold while buying the IS-6 from the gift shop costs $51.50 or so.

The IS-6 is a Soviet tier 8 premium heavy tank.
Plans for this vehicle were drawn up in the construction bureau of the Chelyabinsk Kirov plant from December 1943 to the summer of 1944. Further development and the construction of the first prototype took place at the Uralmash plant. However, the vehicle had no advantages over the other heavy tank designs under consideration, and its armor was seen as inferior to the IS-4 (Object 701), so the IS-6 was not selected for production.

Performance
On this tank you must never expose your rear armour, since your fuel tanks have a high chance of being destroyed. However the side armor is spaced. This tank is somewhat sluggish for a soviet tank, it has poor accuracy, long aim time and low penetration. Do not assume it has a poor gun, as its high damage and rate of fire can be very powerful if used in close combat by implementing your enemies weak spots every chance you get. It's frontal armor is good against low tiers and can be reliable against tanks at its tier, but it is no match for heavy fire as tanks with high penetration will cut through its armor every time. However, since the frontal armor of the IS-6 is sloped at 60 degrees, angling your tank even slightly can make you near impenetrable, due to the game mechanic that any piece of armor, unless overmatched, sloped at or more than 70 degrees will have any shot ricochet.
Side note for penny pinchers- for those that want to save every last penny, instead of buying the IS-6 from the gift shop, go to the "get gold" menu and buy 12,000 gold amount which is only $49.95, you can then buy the IS-6 in game and be left over with 200 gold while buying the IS-6 from the gift shop costs $51.50 or so.

Historical Info
From the 13-17th of November 1943 Chief Design Department (OGK) of NKTP together with VAMM of Stalin and NATI under the general command of chief's assistant of GBTU I. Lebedev completed the development of TTT for "high powered assault self moving tank". Sketches were drawn up by the construction bureau of Chelyabinsk Kirov Factory (CKZ) from the beginning of December 1943 to the summer of 1944. The original plan was to construct a tank with the combat compartment and electric mechanical machinery located in the rear as per "Ferdinand's assault artillery". In the end, by the middle of 1944, two different tanks were put forward. "Object 252" had the same transmission as the IS-3, but larger leg wheels were used in it's running gear, and it had no supporting wheel. The main feature of the "Object 252" was the usage of an electrical transmission. The setup of electric transmission was to simplify the tank's operation and increase it's maneuverability. In this case, the running gear was similar to that of IS-2.
In the summer of 1944 the first production models were rolled out by Uralmachzavod as СKZ was busy working on series of machines and "Object 701". The electric-mechanical transmission for the tank and also the working draft were also developed here. However, in testing both tanks were inferior to the "Object 701" in armored defense, and they were out-gunned and out-maneuvered.
IS-6 with its mechanical transmission had no upsides in comparison to other heavy tanks and "Object 253". The tank was scrapped due to it's huge mass, and low reliability of its electrical transmission. The tank was never exported.
