History[]
The IS-2 entered mass production in October 1943 and, with its long-barrelled 122mm gun able to destroy German tanks from a long range, was considered to be the most powerful Soviet tank of WWII. However, because of a seperate ammo hold, the gun's reload time was disturbingly long. Against aircraft and light-armored targets the tank employed a turret-mounted large-calibre machinegun.
