Well, given that on anti infantry role each 122mm shot was 8 times more effective than a 75mm one, seems was an ok tradeoff.

IS-2 was the best heavy tank design of the war. Not perfect but the most reliable, easier to build AND the second most powerful (after the Köenigs). If the soviets had the 100mm gun operational back then it woudl have made it the perfect tank (since it needed less internal space and coudl match the 122 in performance)

@wrathofatlantis2316 All tanks were effectively blind back then. The superior optics of the germans did not made that much difference in real combat back then. The 2 piece ammo created the slower reload. The IS2 was strategically wise far better than the panter simply for being reliable, having a good reverse that did not #!@!@# the sproket (that is important when you can easily get stuck in mud ). it did its work, while being cheaper and reliable. That is what a tank must do . The KT was a failure, becuse it was too expensive to build and keep and even if it did defeat the IS2 nearby, it could nto stop the other tons of them that were simply everywhere else due to their easy of production and sufficient reliability.

@TTTT-oc4eb Why in hell woudl you brign western tanks into a discusison about HEAVY tanks when western allies did not have a heavy tank at all? (No the pershing was not a heavy tank)

@TTTT-oc4eb Then you know how unreliable the German Heavy tanks were... there is plenty of documentation regarding how many KM between sproket change on all these vehicles (and that is usually used as the main ballpark to measure reliability as is the part that breaks the most when operating out of roads for almost all tanks.)

@xigrus I suggest you study statistics and understand the Bayes theorem so you can understand how dumb is what you wrote. How could the IS2 have more kills than the panthers if there were 10 times more allies tanks for the panthers to fire upon than the other way around. If you put 200 T-14 int hat war they woudl NOT kill more thanks than the panthers, because of the Bayes theorem. So your opinion is worth nothing.
