IS-3 would be the most advanced Soviet tank we could add without going over the 1945 mark.

Hmm.. reward unit maybe?

Sure, and let's give guards aks and sks carbines while were at it. soz for sarcasm, but it don't quite fit IMO. Nice tank though.

Actually on the topic of reward units, I have some ideas

1. Replace sniper ace with Razedacheviki (scouts) armed with pps-43, demo charges and camoflage 
2. Replace 152mm howitzer with b-4 203mm howitzer with shorter range but spigot like shell, and special direct fire ability to fire like an at gun (like in berlin)
3. Regulars with naval infantry (black morephs [ty ueartemis]) 6 men with mosin nagants, upgrade to svt40s and dp28

Airborne AT rifles were only used in the Pacfic, so we can still use cool tanks if we feel like it :P

1. These scouts just sounds like Partisans.  ::)
2. Not sure why you would want such a powerful defensive unit which works at such a close range, but might work.
3. Its an idea - but they wont just use the same weapons and same upgrades. How uninspiring.

The B-4 203mm had an open crew operating it... it would either take a very long time or be nigh impossible to get the animations right.

The IS-4 or IS-3? I was working on an IS-3 model a few months ago... never finished it because getting the shape of the turret right nearly made my head cave in with frustration.

Will probably have a shot at it again (since I have the chassis ready)... not that I expect it to be included, simply as a modelling exercise... and then a skinning marathon.

Uninspiring? *sniff it took me ages *sniff  :'(

just throwing ideas in the air, I had plenty to share.

Here's another:

Stalingrad/city fight veterans: replaces partisans: a 4 man squad with ppsh's, a house clearance ability which force exits infantry from buildings or wipes them out with each man throwing a grenade and spraying with the ppsh. Upgrades with
Satchel charges. The idea being that regulars just don't quite represent the cityfighting squads the Russians used in Stalingrad and Berlin, this would reflect the ability to clear houses one at a time very effectively.

As for Razedacheviki, They should have a radio for artillery strikes, and act as a resupply unit like the pe halftrack, since the razedacheviki were used to bring supplies to the partisans and as expert fighters, to help lead them.


The aim of these two was that you organise the urban fighting doctrine to have either:

1. City fighting with Stalingrad vets and sniper ace
2. Scout fighting with partisans and razedacheviki
3. Original layout

What do you mean open crew? I only meant replacing the ml-20 with the b-4... Actually the idea of the b4 was for it to be a gun you bring up to annihilate bunkers, but I don't know what you'd use

Seriously though, that IS-4 looks ahead of it's time, amazing design.

Meanwhile, the IS-7 was even worse

Quote1946 prototype, only three built. All new design, weight 68 metric tons, with 130 mm naval cannon (7020 mm long barrel) with autoloader and stabilizer, infrared night scopes, 8 machineguns, armour from 220 to 300 mm thickness and 60 km/h roadspeed. Crew of five.

This Tank (IS-4)  is not relative with WW2  ;) I don't find a use of such unit inside IS-2 is good the most IS-2 but not more , and IS-3 fought only at Berlin!

IS-3 didn't fight at all in Berlin or in Manchuria.
IS-4 is from 1947 as I said.

WHO NEEDS 8 MACHINE GUNS?! USE A 20mm if u want to be op...

IS-7 looked bad ass...  bet it could've ripped through a King Tiger like it was made from bog roll.

:o

o dam. Now that is a tank

! Gawd, Indeed, that is quite a tank :)
Nice finish, too. Guess the soviets got pissed at being
told their tanks never had any finish. Nice comeback ;)

Don't see roads liking this puppy one bit, though.
Definitively not something mass-produced :)
