IS-2 vs Tiger
Attention! Outdated news format. Content may not display correctly.
You’ve seen us comparing all sorts of vehicles — but today is going to be a very special day. No fancy ATGMs or explosive-reactive armour. This is a fight of two legendary vehicles! The first... is the Soviet hunter, the fearsome IS-2! The second is the glorious Panzerkampfwagen VI Ausf. E… which all of us know by a different name — the Tiger!

hmm should it not be tiger 2 vs is2 ? both are tanks from 1943 cuz tiger 1 was a 1942 tonk D: or more is 1 vs tiger 1 ?
Nijiko I like that more lol.
IS-1 vs Tiger I would be a better comparison, Tiger 2 vs IS-2 wouldn't really be fair either.
are you kidding me? Is 2 vs Tiger E??
Exactly what is wrong with that?
OGy43, nvm i was just biased by the title, after the little shock i realized that it was Tiger E vs IS 2 Mod 1943 and not 1944, after i watched it i have to say my previous comment was stupid, since i have to agree that both machiens are more or less equal
Round 1: Mobility Forward - Tiger Reverse - IS2 Steering - Tiger IGNORE FASCIST PROPAGANDA, EVEN ROUND! ONE POINT EACH! Round 2: Resilience Armor - Practically the same IS2 WINS! Smoke - Tiger ANOTHER EVEN ROUND! Round 3 - Offensive IS2 gun - Best Pen - 201mm @ 20.8s Reload, 14°s Traverse -3° Depression, 23°Elevation TIGER Best Pen - 219mm @ 7.4s Reload, 14°s Traverse -8° Depression, 16° Elevation ANOTHER EVEN ROUND, LOOKS LIKE IS2 WINS BY LANDSLIDE! TO GULAG WITH YOU!
Wich drig you use? I need it....
Have you ever actually played as a Tiger vs an IS-2? They're equal until the IS shoots- no matter how much you angle, you can be penned on the front plate and it *WILL* kill you. The only way to win as a tiger is to hit the turret cheeks before it fires, and you have to be quick.
next M1 Abrams vs Ke-Ni?
IS2 was specifically designed to counter the Tiger, so it makes sense that the IS2 wins. Face to face, same player and crew skill, it is IS2 all day, every day.
I'll choose the Tiger in any situation over the IS-2, with the 88 you shoot the deadly pzgr 39 wich one shots most times only in some cases and weird angles not. I have a shell that can deal the same damage as the 122 does with faster relaod and more gun depression. The IS-2 is from my perspective no heavy it feels more like an badly armoured medium with no engine power.
zzSalat, zzSalat what are you on right now? The 122 one shots more easily than the 88, it has much better penetration and you're saying the IS-2 feels like a poorly armoured medium with no engine power when it has MUCH better armor than the Tiger and pretty much the same power-to-weight ratio. Overall it's actually the Tiger that feels like a poorly armored medium tank seeing as it has much worse armor on almost all sides and the same hp/ton as the IS-2.
cuz that's far
Yes! exactly what I was waiting for...well actually Im lieing. This is defenetly not what I was waiting for. IMO the tiger has no chance no need to compare them. Actually what would make more sence is Type74 vs M1 Abrams xaxaxaxax ))))))))))))
hehe Russian humor....axaxa......
Join us next time when we explore other classic WWII match ups, such as: The Tiger II(1943) vs. The T54-1954/Object 120/BMP-1/M48 Paton III/M60/T114/M103/Magach 3/Conqueror Mk 2/Vickers MBT/AMX-30 (1972)/Etc.[IGNORE DATES] Because battle ratings... Good thing US got the Abrams Lite and Russia got researchable, stick on ERA. I can't think of any nations in need of any attention.
You forgot the M50 Ontos
Not surprised to see a Tiger2 player whining about MM while ignoring all the utter seal clubbing they do in rank 4 matches. Try playing the low end of American 5.7-6.7 tanks vs the Tiger2 zergs before you cry so loudly about how HARD it is for tiger2 players.
i Dont like this Why??? Because the Tiger is make for Longrange like 1 or 2 Km The IS 2 is for Small to Medium Range becaus of the Gun ( The Ammunition is Slow and Fall down very Quick ) A Normal Tiger shoot´s Tank´s in 2 km or 1.5 km That you dont have really often in Warthunder .....
The Tiger is way better reloading almost 3 times per one Is-2 reload is better than the other supposed other benefits. In my IS-2, I always die because of the long reload and perform better in the Tiger. Please, why have the Russians won every single one of these comparisons?
