The experimental IS-7 was the pinnacle of development in Soviet heavy tank design, and it was significantly ahead of its competitors. Old-school heavy tank, it was the heaviest, most powerful, and well armored Soviet tank in the first half of the 20th century!
In short: a new Soviet rank V heavy tank in the USSR tech tree. Incredibly fast and extremely well armored even against modern shell types, the IS-7 also packs a good punch with its 130mm cannon. 68 tons of pure tank ecstasy await all participants of our summer marathon!
The development of this advanced Soviet heavy tank began in early 1945. Several outstanding scientific groups got involved with the work at once, and the new vehicle was supposed to combine all the latest developments and a great deal of military experience in the design of heavy tanks. After creating several prototypes and experimenting with the engine, armament, and suspension, a steel giant was born and christened Object 260, with the letter designation IS-7. Weighing 68 tons, the heavy tank was equipped with a naval diesel engine that took the monster up to a fantastic 60 km/h. The tank was armed with a powerful 130 mm rifled cannon with mechanized first-order ammo racks and an amazing eight machine guns: two high-calibre 14.5 mm KPVs (one twinned with the cannon and the other an anti-air gun) and six 7.62 mm RP-46 machine guns The armor of the IS-7 is its main feature with high protection value, along with a range of advanced technological solutions, some of which were successfully used on more modern tanks.
Overall, the IS-7 is worth fighting for. It’s a powerful, balanced and sensible heavy tank to play that brings the spirit of the old school to the battlefield of more modern tanks. Never show your back to the enemy, aim carefully and your IS-7 will always be among the best on the leaderboard! See you in battle!
