Overview
A Soviet Heavy tank based on the more famous IS2 tank. It featured a revolutionary sloped turret and a very powerful gun. The turret was very cramped to the point were it would significantly have reduced combat effectiveness. It was produced at the very end of the war but it is highly unlikely it saw combat. It was first observed by western military during a parade in Moscow in September of 1945, where it caused a bit of a panic due to its advanced design.
In games
