Hello captains, here is the tank zero distance. There are many old masters and me to reflect the 1.13 version of the update, the armory and other pages can not enter the problem, for this matter the operator on the official website issued an announcement "about the 1.13 update after the problem repair guide", you need to download and replace a file in the client can be. Today, I would like to talk to you about the S Series 8 Gold Coin Heavy Tank IS-5 after the 1.13 version has been strengthened.
Small talk "IS-5"
Drop off the car
The Tiger Hunter H is a typical drop-off car
In our game, it is very common to force a tank to add an "overhead" gun and then increase the level, such as throwing it to level 7 after giving the Tiger 88 long, throwing Ferdinand short 128 to level 8, and so on. And the tank "restore the historical configuration" and then downgrade is the same operation. For example, Tiger King H and Hunting Tiger H, the two super test tanks, the original base is 8, 9 class cars, after giving a "historical configuration" into a 7-level, 8-level car, they are also relatively strong, but there are also cars that are not so comfortable after being decentralized, such as M46 "Cute" and T26E3 "Eagle 7" and our protagonist TO-5 today.

The "honka" of the IS-5 is the old IS-8 in the game, and the current T-10, which is the prototype of the T-10, the 730 project, but the gun was replaced by the D-25TA, which is also a car that was delegated to the 8th level according to the "historical configuration". WG prefers to call the car the name 730 Project. The story between IS-5, IS-8 and T-10 is, in a nutshell, a ghost of "de-Stalinization", which will not be repeated here, and you only need to know that it and the Level 9 T-10 are brothers.
IS-5 in a direct service bond store (the national service is not on this product)
As long as the captains of the national service have IS-5 in their hands, they are basically 100 yuan bought from the special mall of the old national service period, or drawn by lottery, but in fact, the original IS-5 has a very small amount of direct service, which is because its acquisition channels are more tricky: like the KV-4K cars, IS-5 is the prize of territorial warfare, and only 600 people got it for free in the "Armageddon" event in 2015. The remaining 1,600 people are eligible to buy, but few actually buy. After 5 years, it was not until version 1.9 that the car was sold in the "bond store" of the direct service, because of the strange gun control problem, few people asked.
Enhanced details of version 1.13 IS-5
In version 1.13, the S Series 8 Gold Coin Heavy Tank IS-5 gains the following enhancements:
17% reduction in shell dispersion range when moving and body rotation
38% reduction in shell dispersion when the turret is rotated
The pitch angle of the gun was changed to -7
Engine power was increased to 850 hp
Now IS-5
The IS-5 gun is also considered to be the classic 8-class gun of the S series
The main gun of the IS-5 is a 122mm D-25TA tank gun, the silver bullet of this gun is a 221-deep, 1400-speed APCR, and the gold bullet is a 270-through-depth HEAT, and after reinforcement, there is a -7° pitch angle. The data is great at first glance, but in fact, the IS-5's gun problem can go to the sea. The first is that its basic 100-meter accuracy is only .44, which can be stacked to 0.4 under a large number of bonuses, and the basic aiming time is more than 3 seconds, and even after strengthening, the basic three expansions of THE IS-5 are not very good (this is still after strengthening).
At a medium distance of 200-300 meters, the accuracy of the semi-shrinking circle is OK
Before the reinforcement, the MAIN IS-5 gun performed extremely poorly, whether it was accuracy or artillery dispersion, it was like a broken steel pipe that was tampered with by an apprentice who was beaten by hand crank boring, and its aiming time made people feel that the aiming time of "egg two or five pain" was so wonderful. After the WG strengthened its gun control, the problem improved slightly, and it performed better in medium-range and close-range combat, but there were still many times when it was convulsed.
Silver coin bounce KK this angle of the big crotch actually did not wear (also RNG did not give face)
And this 221 deep APCR, if it is calculated according to the positive effect, in fact, its depth is also an AP of about 210, with a not very good gun feel, playing often want people to smash the keyboard. That 1400's speed didn't make much sense, because at 300 meters away, the ACCURACy of the IS-5 was as disorganized as a child's slingshot made of tree branches.
Defensive, maneuverable and others
The hull armor is the same as that of the T-10
Although the T-10's body defense in the 9-10 class house is very average, the IS-5 of the same body is still very strong for the 7-8 class car. The IS-5 has an angle of about 60 when the head is facing, and with the armor with a base thickness of 120mm, the overall equivalent of the first is about 210-240 (for ap), and the equivalent of 240-270 is reached for APCR, and the equivalent of the first is about 180mm.
Small iron head, can only hit the hatch cover
The turret of the car is actually the whiteboard turret of the T-10, the overall defense ability of the front is very strong, but it is not impossible to fight, the equivalent thickness of the two hatches on the turret is relatively low, as long as it can hit almost must be worn, this weakness is somewhat similar to the IS-6. The is-5's overall defense is still good, stronger than the IS-3 and WZ111, but weaker than the 252 Engineering U and 112.
Mobility is actually like that
However, the mobility of the IS-5 is not as good as that of the T-10, although WG secretly adjusted the horsepower of the car to 740 horsepower (paper nominal 700 horsepower), but the IS-5's track drag coefficient is much worse than the T-10, and the track rotation speed is also slower, so the ACTUAL feel of the IS-5 is a bit unmoving. The is-5's basic field of view is only 360 meters, which is still quite easy to suppress by the field of view.
Overall: Boring toys
The 270-wear HEAT is OK against the 8-level car
WG's round of strengthening OF IS-5 is indeed added to the point, but it is a pity that the innate foundation of IS-5 is not very good, it seems that the enhancement has been very large and targeted, but the actual experience is still not very good. This is in line with WG's reinforcement idea of "improving game performance while not changing the original gameplay and characteristics", so I personally think that IS-5 is still a level 8 gold coin that does not need to be forced, nor is it a relatively good 8-level gold coin heavy tank, whether it is playing money or performance, it is more fun than it.
With the help of a cover that can block the body of the car, play the advantage of -7 ° pitch angle to fight hand-to-hand combat
If you really want to play IS-5, it's not impossible to play, but its gameplay is not much different from the traditional heavy tank, unlike the T-10 in level 9 can rely on excellent maneuverability and medium tank to charge together. But right now... Or play a good -7 ° pitch angle, find a small bunker and enemy hand-to-hand combat, this is the only designated way to play IS-5, but if you play like this, I still choose to play 252 Project U-shape, 703 Project II type.... 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 publicity, so that more captains can return to their own positions.
