Seems that IS2 cannon is still useless, why this was not fixed in the new patch?

Must have been overlooked, you fixing this anytime soon??

It's a pretty serious balance concern that the IS-2 cant even engage a Stug in combat anymore=/

I was looking foward to destroying the German Kittens.  >:( Oh and let me ask, does the IS-2 have same pen/better pen/ lesser pen than a Firefly and does it have better damage/lesser damage/same damage?

Hmm, the penetration is about the same( or is it??) but it does more damage.

Although in its current state the IS-2 do hardly any damage at all, the PTRD do more damage when it penetrates Stugs for example=/

Well on 1.6 my IS-2s 3-4 Shot the Stugs and the Reward Unit. About the same number of shot for the Panzer IV also and 1-2 more shots for a Panther. IDK how much shots the Firefly take to destroy these units. And yeah, IS-2 right now is total crap. MUST FIX.

The IS-2 should be buffed !
In fact the IS-2 kicked even Tiger Is ass because it had more armour (with better sloping)
and the 122mm gun was doing a lot more damage than the Tiger's 88m.
I want to see a realy good IS-2 in the game that can defeat Panther and Tiger.

@WLENIN The thing is, the IS-2 cannons poor damage isnt a nerf, its a bug. either its the cannons stats or its the german vehicles recieved damage thing that is wierd.

The 122mm cant damage stugs, but it sometimes scores a full damage hit on the WH AC.
