Hello captains and gentlemen. Yesterday we have evaluated the KRT-1, many friends feel that it is not strong enough, but also want to see the remaining two cars, then today to arrange islet for everyone is IS-3A, to see if this "three punches to kill the teacher" of the bald heavy tank, in 2022 is still suitable for you to buy.
Small talk about "IS-3A"
The dream of automatic ammunition delivery
It is called IS-3 s M3
It also has a very domineering skin in the console version
The autoloader design of the IS-3A/IS-3 s M3 was the graduation design of a Soviet military cadet in the 50s (this design was not the design of the bunch of imaginary Polish cadets that WG brought, but the real drawings), so that the tank only needed three people to operate and could fire at a constant rate of fire. Because the old IS-3 vehicle environment is too narrow, and the crew combat environment is very poor, this old tank noise, propellant gas, high temperature / cold and so on will seriously damage the efficiency of the crew, you can think of themselves in a constantly shaking boiler to carry dozens of kilograms of shells to accurately send into the chamber What is the feeling, like me may be installed on a shot to stop, the automatic bomb delivery machine is to solve this problem.
The old national uniform is just a strange -3
The IS-3A in the game was mass-produced in the national service very early, whether it is a lottery, a mall or a military merit center. In the summer of 2015, I got one and played more than 40 games with great interest, and I didn't play it again. At that time, the IS-3A was still a single-shot version, but later WG added an improved loading mechanism to it in version 1.3, and the IS-3A instantly soared. Therefore, the players who got the IS-3A in the old national service era are really cost-effective, which is a real early quality investment. In contrast, friends who chose IS-5 and KRT-1 are a bit at a loss. However, I urge everyone to stop thinking like this, because the current WG will not do anything about drastically strengthening a gold coin car, or even making it change the way it plays.
Now IS-3A
The further back you load, the slower you fill
The IS-3A and KRT-1 and IS-5 all use the same gun, except that the IS-3A is a gun that adds a "preloaded drum" mechanism, and the "preloaded drum" of the IS-3A is the only one in the game that is different from the mainstream, reverse-loading "preload drum":
The Italian preload drum truck (such as the P46) is the slowest to replenish the starting bullet into the empty magazine, and the fastest when loading the last bullet. This makes the Italian preload drum truck the most efficient when shooting only the last bullet - reloading the last bullet - shooting the last bullet, and it can also be used to empty the magazine at critical moments
The IS-3A is the complete opposite, it is the fastest when replenishing the first bullet into the empty magazine, and the slowest when loading the last bullet, which allows the IS-3A to shoot out 3 consecutive rounds and then spend about 10 seconds to load a shot, to achieve the effect of "4 shots in a row" to kill the enemy
There are also problems that this preloaded drum truck will encounter:
When the current cartridge is less than 3 rounds, it will not fill you up
However, it is said that it is a "pre-reloaded drum", in fact, it can not be really a round of one shot, such as a silver coin bullet and a gold coin bullet high-explosive bomb, switching ammunition is also directly emptying the entire magazine, starting from the empty bullet state to reload, which also causes when the amount of ammunition you choose is not enough to fill the entire cartridge, it only gives you the remaining ammunition, sometimes you do not pay attention to the hand only holding 1-2 shells instead of 3 rounds of full ammunition, which is very embarrassing.
The advantage of the "preloaded drum" is the flexibility to deal with the enemy
After understanding this mechanism, back to the IS-3A itself, I personally think it has a lot of problems in terms of firepower. The accuracy of the basic 100 meters is too poor, the shrinking circle is also slow, and the expansion of the circle is still large, which can be said to be the perfect inheritance of the "egg two five pain" gun control feel. The 50-meter shells flew up and down, jumped left and right, and played extremely unstable, making the IS-3A only suitable for melee hand-to-hand combat. And IS-3A is still the Soviet classic -5 ° pitch angle restriction problem, now the map undulating location is a lot, a little slope IS-3A can not suppress the cannon, that is to say, it in addition to going to the town flat, other undulating areas do not go, that is to find themselves uncomfortable.
Scalp and hull are not good, turret is good
Compared with the KRT-1 mentioned yesterday, the IS-3A's defense is a little worse. The front of the TURRET of the IS-3A is very hard, basically for the Class 8 car do not have to think about it, TD's gold bullets can try to hit the cheek. However, for the D/M series "rich and handsome", the SCALP OF IS-3A is a very obvious and one-hit weakness. It is only 20 mm here and can be easily crushed by the 8-level heavy tank gun. The body of the IS-3A is the body of the IS-3, or the old problem of the S Series arrow armor - selling the shoulders on the side, the front is not much higher than the equivalent, and 210 mm can be firmly worn on the head and head of the opposite (don't hit the two tracks on the head, the extra thickness is added).
Mobility, just like that, is normal
The mobility of the IS-3A is unremarkable, and most of the traditional 8-level heavy tanks are no different, even if the maneuverability is modified, the improvement benefits are not very large, or honestly take the traditional route. The basic field of view of the IS-3A is only 350 meters, which is also the consistent low field of view of the S series, and the endgame is quite a loss, stay in the city.
Overall: There is no need to deliberately pursue
With a red sight, it is ok to hit medium and long-range targets in a steady state
Let's summarize the advantages and disadvantages of the current version of IS-3A:
Unique reverse preload drum
Single shot damage, shell penetration is qualified
Silver Coins have a very high speed of bullets
The tank's own survivability and defense are qualified
The tank is qualified for maneuverability
The gun control is incredibly poor
-5 pitch angle is no longer suitable for the current version of the environment
The versatility of the 3-person vehicle group and the S-series vehicle is not high
The field of vision is low
The ammo rack module has low health
Personally, I think the advantages of the IS-3A are all in this preload drum, and that's all it is. In the conventional hand-to-hand combat stage, IS-3A can play a single shot, one shot after another and the enemy has come and gone, after all, in the case of "telescopic cannon" no one can play the DPM advantage, IS-3A even if 17 seconds to load a bullet is the same, but will bring the enemy into the rhythm of IS-3A. During the offensive meat-eating phase, the IS-3A can smash all 3 shells in its hand on the enemy, and then wait about 11 seconds for the next shot to be loaded. That is to say, the IS-3A can completely kill a bloody class (390x4) in 17 seconds, and this rogue tactic is the unique skill of the IS-3A.
You can be played at a distance of 67 meters
However, the is-3A's own problems focus on gun control, pitch angle, field of vision and flexibility, these problems will limit the IS-3A's play in actual combat, such as three guns flying two guns, can not suppress the cannon, suppressed by the field of vision, etc., and now it is a "selling world", who has a good angle and who can speak. Only veterans familiar with maps can truly exert the combat effectiveness of the IS-3A. And now in 2022, Skoda T56, Bison, Emir 1951 and other cars have all been mass-produced, how rogue Skoda T56 is, we all know, compared with bison, IS-3A advantage is not very large, coupled with the problem of -5 ° pitch angle, IS-3A is really not as close as them.
The car is indeed a good car, but is it really worth it?
In 2022, the IS-3A's three-ring mark injury slipped off in the 8th level of the 4 direct camp suits, falling to almost the 10th place or so. And the average damage per game, winning percentage, WN8 efficiency, etc. are also similar. This is because the IS-3A itself has a certain degree of survivability, average mobility, and also has a flexible firepower that can be fired or exploded, which makes the lower limit of the IS-3A higher. My personal advice is that if you have an IS-3A in your hand, steal the fun. If not, there is no need to impose IS-3A. The price of this 280 is really expensive, and it is not as affordable as buying some new single combat rations, canned beef, compressed biscuits and so on. I am Anabel, Caddo, always thinking about the vital interests of our players. If you like my car reviews, please also forward and share the promotion to let more captains go home.
