The IS-3 in War Thunder was once the King of heavy tanks. Now, it will face cold war era tanks that can easily penetrate its thick well designed armour.
The IS-3 is still a contender, however. In a full downtier, there aren't many tanks that can punch through its armour. At this battle rating you'll face WW2 vehicles that don't really stand a chance against you.
The 122mm cannon on the IS-3 is still enough to banish most enemy tanks with ease which leaves the only real weakness of the IS-3 being its reload speed at 20 seconds.
Overall, this is just the classic heavy tank problem. Great in downtiers but considerably challenging in uptiers! 🙂

Why did Gajin move this and the IS6 to 7.0? While leaving the T32/E1 at 7.3-7.7???
Yes! The IS-3, I’ve been waiting!
@OddBawZ Good video but you used the wrong ammunition. You wanted the BR-471B, is has a lower base pen but is far superior at punching through angled armor.
I think both shells do a great job at that regardless. I like the extra flat pen because Tiger 2 Mantlet.
@OddBawZ Fair point, I just used the armor simulator and the D round will work better then the B at long range.

God I miss the good old TF2 days xD
Love the CAS footage! Thanks for all the videos, bub
Great CAS! Stay healthy…
i have noticed the graphics don’t load fully for the first game i get into so i go back to hanger and start again fixed. Giajins broken it again. Its reflection’s not loading i think.
I have no idea how OddBawZ has enough luck to have a barrel or a track 😀 My experience with russian heavies is once you shoot you can say goodbye to your tank, unless you have a chance to traverse back in time. And i have no idea why some players are aiming at the is3 front plate with conventional rounds.
Thanks for another video, m8
Play more with brits 7.0ish lineup. Caenarvon…
Nice goodie for a rainy day! Hope you got some rest, Odd.

Your game f**king sucks !!! No chance if you have a US tank in this game! Will never waste another dime on this pos game!
Haven’t gotten to the IS-3 myself yet, but my experiences with the IS-2 fighting heat cancer haven’t been the most positive. I can certainly see why it is where it is, to a degree, but I also feel that at all above tier it will be just another slow, heavy target for ATGMs and sabot. Might be proven wrong, but doubt it.
comment boost
If you look the smoke in b at 19:18,it looks like a smiling face
Thank you odd for coming back to lots of videos really enjoying them
10:29 “Who are you? A LATE tank” 😀
Also a “Billdog” XDXDXD
Sorry can’t help myself xD
Fun video. Thanks, as always, Odd.
a LoT Of pEN… 230 mm, 82mm at 60deg. in 7,0 -.- and no, it doesnt eat king tigers, you need to aim for the turret, so from the distance, you are 25 sec reloading appetizer… Turret moves too slow, pike nose is only good against tanks that dont pen above 200 mm, gun depression is depressive as always, reverse speed is brutal, rpair cost 5,5k and … Skip, trust me, its a GRUELLING experience, i have it and i rather use t-44-100 with t-54s
The IS3 is half a onion on a tank hull
LOVE MOTHER RUSSIA!!!
Heart arrhythmia? Dude that sounds scary
The mig-29 and su-30 would probably be added if that’s the case.
Why the left track on IS3 no suspension physics?? My Is3 is the same lol
Love the video and keep it up
What a reload speed, are they artisanally crafting every shell in a little workshop in there?!
