Update on IS-5 (Object 730), upcoming tier 8 premium.


Today got to my attention that the IS-5 (Object 730), a upcoming Soviet tier 8 heavy premium tank will be a Clan War reward as reported by Vspishka, a Russian Youtuber ( Source ).


According to the most recent updates shown on FTR (Source), it will not have special match maker unlike the IS-6 but will be slightly faster, more armored and has better view range although it has pretty much the same gun as his brother. Its known the disregard I have for the IS-6 as a non-profitable tank due to his gun (the 122 mm D-30 gun can be extremely bouncy even when shooting at weaker areas and often requires gold shells, that’s not a synonym of profit) and the fact that it will meet higher tiers doesn't make me excited to obtain it (even after getting a penetration buff), if had the time for CW, still for those who do, good luck and let me know what you think about the tank once you achieve it.

  4. Well done - interesting information. Back in 1986 I was CO in a D-30 Unit in the East-German Forces. This thing was built as a howitzer with a range of 15,3 km. Only for self-defence we used it against tanks up to 800m - where you can't (and shouldn't) really miss ;-) However - go on with your great streaming and (well started) writing :-) Yours oldlion66

  5. Is6 might is slightly less profitable (vbaddict.net) but its damn fun to play /troll. Like kv4...
    But almost same gun on Tier 10? No way. Better quit match.

    Is6 also has to be carefull about e75 and friends... But at least works fine in General, since it can geht close to make the shots work.
    A slight buff on amror and speed will not make it Tier 10 ready.

    Nice reward.
