Thank you for doing an older tank and providing an updated guide for people comming to grips with an old tank in Today's World of Tanks instead of the World of Tanks of 3 to 5 years ago. Please to the AMX M4 mle. 45 next. It is the longest and most frustrating obstacle to overcome before reaching the 3 AMX 50 variants that are the reason people grind up the French Heavy line. Also it's the last chance you have to learn good lessons to prepare you for the fast auto-loaders, and while the M4 does have the lack of armor that teached being careful and acting as a support tank, it doesn't really have speed or firepower to convey many good lessons about how to make the best use of the tanks that come after it. The M4 tends to teach you to be not just careful (which is good) but timid (which is bad) or to pick up bad habits born of frustration [getting pissed and making poor decisions the moment things don't go well, or being mindlessly aggressive because you feel like it stopping, thinking, and giving it your best won't actually do much] (which is also bad.) I feel a review by you would both help people get though the AMX M4 faster and, more importantly, help them understand what lessons to carry with you from the M4 to the Fifties, and what lessons you are going to need to unlearn when moving from the M4 to the Fifties.
It was my first tier X. It used to be a fun tank.. now i dont like it anymore. Especially when you are in battle with 3 enemy clickers and T110e5's, going full gold -because they are not op enough.
Agreed. The Is-7 has been power crept to nothing. It's only still super popular on the E.U and RU server. in N.A everyone plays E5's, and E-100s and spams gold so the IS-7 is obsolete...
best video in a long time keep it up qb since jingles has stopped doing reviews and playing the game you and foch are the only ones who still do them and they are my favourite type of wot vid. very in depth and informative thanks!
love my is4 its the only tier 10 ht i still own sold my is7 maus and e100 although the maus may return to my garage because its cool to have one because its so unbelievably rare and its always nice to be the 1st of a tank someone has ever seen i used to often see tier 7 lts and tier 8s drive up to my maus and just look at it because theyd never seen one.
its weird that the is4 isnt more popular honestly i mean its a monster armour wise and has a gun that is really nice plus the grind isnt bad the t150 is fun great side armour the kv3 is the weak one but not horrible still way way better than the amx m4 45 and better than the is2 in my opinion the kv4 is great fully upgraded and the st1 is a total beast you just need to make sure you get the bl9 from the is3 before hand and its fine to grind but if you dont do that its a nightmare.
Great to see some proper, helpful analysis (including crew skills/ training) in the first 10mins backed up with some live game where those points are reinforced - this is why QB's one of the best.
I treat it like a glorified T95. I don't push for fear of being flanked, since just getting it last night. To overcome the barrier to max speed, I use grousers. Acts like a fast heavium now.
Just bought IS7. My first tier X tank, a week ago and have been playing it little by little, thx QB for the review. it will deff help me in future how to play with my is7. cheers
Hello Qb, and Qb fans....if you do accidentally select the safe stowage on the bottom loader, you can simply send both loaders back to the garage and redeploy them to the alternate loader position allowing you a second chance to choose awareness on the bottom operator...
IS-7 is a beast. Its low hp pool is compensated with the incredibly tough allround armor. I have bounced every kind of shell imaginable with this tank, and I know that my enemies have been frustrated to bounce and de-track me.. I love IS-7 Its my favorite tank of all time! :-)
The IS7 needs a pen buff and a ground resistance buff in the current meta. Everything else is appropriate considering that this thing is a brawler. It just really needs that extra mobility and penetration to be able to fit it's proper niche. These buffs won't make it overpowered, just good at doing what it's meant to do given the opposition it faces in the current meta.
my first and currently only tier x tank i remember being so excited to finally get it .... and all that excitement was murdered by the utter clusterfuck the tier x matches are, with every match having autoloading skycancer, gold spamming TDs and E 100s, and being half-healthed while just aiming to be able to pen a shot into someone else, I've come so close to selling it so many times , not because it's bad, of course not, by no means is it bad but it's fucking hard to enjoy
0:22 - the IS-7 has hatches that are penned by everything taller than it is. So that E-100 or any tank taller than an IS-7 can pen it everytime, if aimed correctly.
Much gold, many balance. I am the only one that feels dirty firing prem unless you're absolutely outclassed? (I.E T26E4 having to brawl with an E75) =/ 250 pen on a tier 10 isn't fantastic, but it's enough. If you were contending a Kolabanovs then I can understand loading gold but unless the situation is absolutely dire, is it really necessary?
That's what I mean by using gold when the situation is dire, if not firing gold will cost me and the team a victory then I'll load gold. I just feel that a lot of unicum level players fire far more gold than is necessary. Make no mistake my WN8 is 2.2k, 1k less than QB so he is clearly a better player than me so my opinion doesn't matter much.
I guess the problem lies more with the game mechanics reliance on RNG and the lack of balance between premium shells (looking at you T54 HEAT spammers) than the players firing the shells. Gold ammo in nearly all cases simply makes the game easier to do well in, and as you say there's no sense in disadvantaging yourself but I just wish that pressing your 2 key wasn't essentially autopen in a lot of cases. I know HEAT throws a hissy fit when it hits sloped armour and HESH gets eaten up by spaced armour but they honestly seem like poor balancing mechanics.
QB loved the review, especially the part when you show how to angle correctly and use the terrain (12:40). You definetly should give more tips like that hey :D
you'd be disappointed!.. i had played this game and this tank for quite a while back. its bad very bad... people will spam gold at you! don't even try to play this with an unskilled crew. the gun is godly inaccurate without a skilled crew. and its not that agile and the ground resistance is awful. btw they will never buff this tank, coz its an old tank.
QB did you become noob? switching gold for 9 tier tanks? what example are you giving those already gold user damb kids? Moreover, I have a serious question: I am good player and I see a lot of similarity in your game and mine, also I see similarity how you think and act in game, I mostly play the same way, my thinking also matches. So, how it happens that you have such a good stats on all tanks and mine cannot even come close? there is so much distinction that I cannot explain how is it possible.
Dude is that your ego speaking? No one player is completely identical to another. And in this case if what you claim is true then your playing style is more flawed than you think.
+MrDeepzek For the stats, having 2 more friends playing with you together in a Platoon helps to secure good winrate. Especially if they are as competent as you. I do play the same like QB, I do play the tactics just like him, but I'm playing alone. And whenever it comes down to a platoon vs me, I'm always lose. If you can get friends to play WoT, get them!
I wouldn't say its completely useless, can still be used alongside E3s to hold chokepoints due to the practically impenetrable turret, also it may be used instead of an E3 as the E3 isn't able to relocate easily if the enemy aren't going to that flank. However I do agree that E5s in most situations are better.
hanssie88 I hear you on the Fv - and hull down it's monstrous. The reason we missed the rest of those tanks is because we were both telepathically talking about heavies :D
Ye who enter beyond the IS3 abandon all hope! IS7 is not like the IS3 nor the IS8. IS3 is the most armored for its tier, but the IS7 is not the most armored. It is over matched by the MAUS and E100
Its armor is useless when u are not in hull down. A paper tank. U pen it with half aim, so easily when u are moving and if u know how to use angles , as KV-4 for example.
A classic mistake people make is shooting the lower plate of the VK 45.02 B. Both the upper and lower plates are 200mm thick, and the angling of the lower plate makes it effectively thicker than the upper plate.
What i love most about your channel QB, are the clueless people in the comments who blame their incompetence on gold, platoons or other stuff. It just confirms everything you see in random battles.
@quickybaby when it comes to the situation of face hugging an is7, just shoot the is7 under the gun when your opponent lifts it up! so easy to penetrate and lots of is7 drivers are really confused how they got penned! greetings joe
Quicky you'll always have my respect you're one of the best. Great bit of homework you've done on that inaccurate is7 lol but hey you pulled it off nicely done m8
I keep reading on forums that Vents don't actually provide 5% improvement but more like 2 or 3%. But regardless, I tend to use it in all my tanks because I need all the help I can get. *Edit: Thanks for the crew skill tips, QB. I never actually knew that about the second loader. I'll keep an eye out for that now.
Just got my IS7 and am totally frustrated that I'm not generating the kind of DMG generated in the Tier-9 T10. It was an incredibly long (but fun) grind and now? Remorse...
When driving against it, I treat it as a victim -consistent and easy penetration. Especially if they are playing it shy and try to trade with you from mid range. Unless they are in a pack with other is7's, they are really not that strong.When driving the actual tank I apply a "in your face" strategy -try to convince a few heavies in my team to come with me and just go balls crazy from 10m distance. You would be amazed how people panic when they see you coming at them at full speed.
Kinda weird, but the way you explain it makes it sound like a much better super pershing. That tanks all about applying pressure on your opponents and "encouraging" them to miss their shots
I would like to stress that the side armor has internal angling of the 100mm of side armor. However, this is not seen and it makes people think that the 30mm of spaced armor is to be blamed for the troll side armor. While the 30mm of spaced armor does influence it, the 100mm of internal angling is what makes it so trollish.
I just love how IS7 looks
The Motherland will never stop surprising me
IS-7 at it's finest: fully aims at lower plate of E5, misses, Shoots at the move at a Jp. E100, hits.
IS-7 is my favorite tank,it absolutely fits my playstyle. love being agressive in a 3-man IS7 platoon
Dante Perez I AGREEEEEEE
My first and only tier X after nearly 6k battles. I absolutely love it.
Great video.
"Poor accuracy" Snipes cupolas without even fully aiming.
Rashaaa
Rashaaa
Rewatching this in 2023 and the first thing I notice is QB saying it's 303mm of pen on its premium ammo is excellent. Oh how times have changed
There's no such thing as "resorting" to fire premium rounds anymore QB. WOT has degenerated to "We didn't penetrate" followed by frantically hitting the 2 button....
48,000 and 64,000 credits profit.
most polite shutdown ever.
+QuickyBaby Just to clarify, I was referring to the game as a whole. Not these IS-7 battles.
Hopefully the sandbox will do something about those pen values.
+Chris S yea,hope they remove prem ammo
+PlaceFor Retards If they do, the game will be extremely unbalanced as awesome brawlers like E-100 requires prem ammo most of the time to pen.
Why Is It tricky to snipe In IS-7 while Stalin guides your shells?
because Lenin Cat does not approve of weak Kapitalist nonsense as "aiming".
simple. Don't aim. hahahaha
Because the IS-7 is mad at everyone, even Stalin, and it's because they took his hair (machine gun) away.
because Stalin did not like number 7
i weezed at that joke
Thank you for doing an older tank and providing an updated guide for
people comming to grips with an old tank in Today's World of Tanks
instead of the World of Tanks of 3 to 5 years ago.
Please to the AMX M4 mle. 45 next.
It is the longest and most frustrating obstacle to overcome before
reaching the 3 AMX 50 variants that are the reason people grind up the
French Heavy line. Also it's the last chance you have to learn good
lessons to prepare you for the fast auto-loaders, and while the M4 does
have the lack of armor that teached being careful and acting as a
support tank, it doesn't really have speed or firepower to convey many
good lessons about how to make the best use of the tanks that come after
it. The M4 tends to teach you to be not just careful (which is good)
but timid (which is bad) or to pick up bad habits born of frustration
[getting pissed and making poor decisions the moment things don't go
well, or being mindlessly aggressive because you feel like it stopping,
thinking, and giving it your best won't actually do much] (which is also
bad.)
I feel a review by you would both help people get though the AMX M4
faster and, more importantly, help them understand what lessons to carry
with you from the M4 to the Fifties, and what lessons you are going to
need to unlearn when moving from the M4 to the Fifties.
straight to the point informative no fuss reviews Salute QuickyBaby one of the best
It was my first tier X. It used to be a fun tank.. now i dont like it anymore. Especially when you are in battle with 3 enemy clickers and T110e5's, going full gold -because they are not op enough.
a borsig used heat on my comet tho.
Agreed. The Is-7 has been power crept to nothing. It's only still super popular on the E.U and RU server. in N.A everyone plays E5's, and E-100s and spams gold so the IS-7 is obsolete...
Yea, I think premium ammunition ruins the game
How do you damage, if not by clicking? (The IS7 is the hardest Heavy to hit for Arty, btw)
I like to make a pain in the ass to them to kill me and watch them struggle
Its Bald! Bring the machinegun back!
Bring the IS-7s Hair back
#MakeTheMachinegunGreatAgain
i like the new IS-3 but i did not like the new gun barrel
Timen Kompagne Same, it looks weird, this "thing" at the end of the gun was a Muzzle break an not a goddamn counterweight
Anton Liljekvist #MakeTheMachinegunStandAgain
21:22 "the VK 4...202P manages to finish him off first."
best video in a long time keep it up qb since jingles has stopped doing reviews and playing the game you and foch are the only ones who still do them and they are my favourite type of wot vid. very in depth and informative thanks!
an is 4 replay would be perfect since it's not a well known tank (or played)
agreed
love my is4 its the only tier 10 ht i still own sold my is7 maus and e100 although the maus may return to my garage because its cool to have one because its so unbelievably rare and its always nice to be the 1st of a tank someone has ever seen i used to often see tier 7 lts and tier 8s drive up to my maus and just look at it because theyd never seen one.
its weird that the is4 isnt more popular honestly i mean its a monster armour wise and has a gun that is really nice plus the grind isnt bad the t150 is fun great side armour the kv3 is the weak one but not horrible still way way better than the amx m4 45 and better than the is2 in my opinion the kv4 is great fully upgraded and the st1 is a total beast you just need to make sure you get the bl9 from the is3 before hand and its fine to grind but if you dont do that its a nightmare.
Is4 is an awesome tank
IS-7 just look cooler than IS 4
Thanks qb for finally reviewing my favourite tank in the game! Always like your breakdown of the tanks three marked mine a month ago
21:33 "agh! slow reaction by me as the Vk4... (looks at the kill notifications and sees he fucked up) 202p (salvages anyway)"
Ah QB, never change
Great to see some proper, helpful analysis (including crew skills/ training) in the first 10mins backed up with some live game where those points are reinforced - this is why QB's one of the best.

23:00 you can see shadow from machinegun but there is no machinegun on the tank
IS-7 is a beast. Its low hp pool is compensated with the incredibly tough allround armor. I have bounced every kind of shell imaginable with this tank, and I know that my enemies have been frustrated to bounce and de-track me.. I love IS-7 Its my favorite tank of all time! :-)
But you cant bounce on HE shells
Awesome advice on the crew skills. My first T10 was the IS-7 and this was new to me. Thank you very much re the loaders.
The IS7 needs a pen buff and a ground resistance buff in the current meta.
Everything else is appropriate considering that this thing is a brawler. It just really needs that extra mobility and penetration to be able to fit it's proper niche.
These buffs won't make it overpowered, just good at doing what it's meant to do given the opposition it faces in the current meta.
The Myth, The Legend, The King
Quickybaby should do a video on the T-10
yeah,I feel it's much better tank since HD model,its the most fun tier 9 HT to play
Lucky Luciano QB played it quickly in one of his streams but I haven't heard of it from him since.
I agree
yes please
Nice timing m8, good you showing us this brand new tier 10 heavy.
Nest vid you should do an is4 review to compare to the is7:)
I agree with you 😃
Me too
I said the same thing ^^
i think he should also compare those 2 but add the 113 and maybe the 121 cuz of the guns
+Rakesh Boodoo he already has a 113 and a 121 review
Thanks QB for finally going into detail with equipment and crew skills, hopefully this trend will continue.
About time this beast got a rewiewed by QB!
22:47 double kill!
reviewed*
About time this beast got reviewed by QuickBaby!*
+Mountain Dew Noone likes a smartass and everyone hates grammar nazis.
Yomir Kun No one*
Anyone rewatching this in 2022 for the nostalgia?
I wonder what IS-7 will experience in the sandbox.....
+Dimitrios Galiatsatos better fucking pen and better dpm and accurate
+Professional gamer That would just make it OP, the pen is absolutely fine
+TheIcyHawk try say that the the t110e5/3
+TheIcyHawk but this tank sucks the handling is awful
I think the IS-7 would be a more interesting vehicle if its alpha damage was buffed to 560 and its gun handling made worse.
Finally! I have been waiting for this review for ages! Thanks QB!
my first and currently only tier x tank
i remember being so excited to finally get it ....
and all that excitement was murdered by the utter clusterfuck the tier x matches are, with every match having autoloading skycancer, gold spamming TDs and E 100s, and being half-healthed while just aiming to be able to pen a shot into someone else, I've come so close to selling it so many times , not because it's bad, of course not, by no means is it bad but it's fucking hard to enjoy
yeah i have one and think if my crew didnt have so many skills it would be worthless, it needs help in so many areas
thats what im worried about im getting it soon
just ram it full of gold
ANAL RAIDER I cant bring my self to do that no much how much silver i have
That Cheeky Little ELC i know how you feel, i felt that way too till i got pissed off enough
0:22 - the IS-7 has hatches that are penned by everything taller than it is. So that E-100 or any tank taller than an IS-7 can pen it everytime, if aimed correctly.
Much gold, many balance. I am the only one that feels dirty firing prem unless you're absolutely outclassed? (I.E T26E4 having to brawl with an E75) =/ 250 pen on a tier 10 isn't fantastic, but it's enough.

clearly no
I made a very decent profit in each result that's all that really matters, play like this is not only sustainable but also profitable.
ik i only bring 4-5 premium rounds and i don't fire them unless i get that bad match up like playing T8 i have to load some to pen the heavys
QB loved the review, especially the part when you show how to angle correctly and use the terrain (12:40). You definetly should give more tips like that hey :D
you don´t Need a good gun accuracy when you get in the enemy face
Good work on the video and very thorough review, QuickyBaby!
Great, but what about the IS-4??
Yeah need a new/recent Is-4 review video, last one from QB or Jingles was like back in 2012 or something...
Man I miss this map
vk4202 (p) ?
***** maybe
yea i noticed that lol
japan would have arty vehicle probably carrying a 600mm naval gun
The last thing players need, is more arty
I really hope QB reviews that tank, it was one of the best that Porsche ever made...
I have been waiting for an is7 review for so long
i just got this tank today :)
Cheers, I had to sell it instead eheh
+You're about to sound dumb , watch! : Please, that's clearly the upper plate of an Is-7.
Pierazhi your profile 😛
+Pierazhi it is indeed angled
Congratulations. Enjoy.
I'm still on the T34 though.
If feels like it is going to take years until I get my hands on the dream IS-7.
the is-7 is my favourite tank in the game, thank you quickybaby for making this video
Im 7k Xp Away from the IS7 and now i see this vid and im like i want my IS7 :'(
Don't rush it, the IS7 will always be there and a couple more crew skills couldn't hurt to be more competitive at tier 10 right? ;)
Doesn't matter what heavy i am in, get gold spamed at me :3
*****
never said it was a profit for them to shoot it at me :)
you'd be disappointed!.. i had played this game and this tank for quite a while back. its bad very bad... people will spam gold at you!
don't even try to play this with an unskilled crew.
the gun is godly inaccurate without a skilled crew.
and its not that agile and the ground resistance is awful.
btw they will never buff this tank, coz its an old tank.
+Msdfail i have 4 Perks on my crew
The nice thing about the aim time requiring you to "just sit there" is that this is a tank that can very much do that.
this tanks needs a buff
I love that "it's a trap" it's so funny
QB did you become noob? switching gold for 9 tier tanks? what example are you giving those already gold user damb kids?
Moreover, I have a serious question: I am good player and I see a lot of similarity in your game and mine, also I see similarity how you think and act in game, I mostly play the same way, my thinking also matches. So, how it happens that you have such a good stats on all tanks and mine cannot even come close? there is so much distinction that I cannot explain how is it possible.
T9 tanks that have amongst the heaviest armour in the game. Take a look at the post battle profit and understand it's not been gold for years.
dont blame an is-7 for shooting apcr at your e-75. 250pen, while is better than the e-100's 235, is still very mediocre
Because you're nowhere near as good as you think.
Dude is that your ego speaking? No one player is completely identical to another. And in this case if what you claim is true then your playing style is more flawed than you think.
+MrDeepzek For the stats, having 2 more friends playing with you together in a Platoon helps to secure good winrate. Especially if they are as competent as you. I do play the same like QB, I do play the tactics just like him, but I'm playing alone. And whenever it comes down to a platoon vs me, I'm always lose. If you can get friends to play WoT, get them!
Picked this baby up after the buff, by God it is insane now.
Tank is ruined. Absolutely usseles in Clan wars.
Is it just E5s now?
I wouldn't say its completely useless, can still be used alongside E3s to hold chokepoints due to the practically impenetrable turret, also it may be used instead of an E3 as the E3 isn't able to relocate easily if the enemy aren't going to that flank. However I do agree that E5s in most situations are better.
Yep, most e5's are now in Clan wars, e100's, t57, some IS4's and IS7's.
hanssie88 I hear you on the Fv - and hull down it's monstrous. The reason we missed the rest of those tanks is because we were both telepathically talking about heavies :D
your highness Is 7 is my first one too and i fucking love it. Idk the gameplay just seems SP smooth with it idk how to describe it
nice vid QB, irs nice too see that this game still exist
IS means Ioshiph Stalin!
No shit Sherlock
For a long time, the is7 was my most feared tank.
It's not ogre, It's never ogre.
Oh boy, he is getting imaginative
I'm working on the IS line right now. Can't wait to get my IS-3. Great video. +1 like.
IS-3 powerful, awesome brawler :D
Ye who enter beyond the IS3 abandon all hope!
IS7 is not like the IS3 nor the IS8.
IS3 is the most armored for its tier, but the IS7 is not the most armored. It is over matched by the MAUS and E100
Its armor is useless when u are not in hull down. A paper tank. U pen it with half aim, so easily when u are moving and if u know how to use angles , as KV-4 for example.
Havoc So what you've all been telling me is that I should stop at IS-3?
+DaCamponTwee U just need to hide the weak spot and be aggressive mate. Learn as u play the tank :D
Cough cough (reverse sidesraping) cough cough
A classic mistake people make is shooting the lower plate of the VK 45.02 B. Both the upper and lower plates are 200mm thick, and the angling of the lower plate makes it effectively thicker than the upper plate.
Anybody 2019?
What i love most about your channel QB, are the clueless people in the comments who blame their incompetence on gold, platoons or other stuff. It just confirms everything you see in random battles.
Roses are red
Violets are blue
I love my mom, so do you.
finally i saw some agressive unicom plays by u, the past half a year since that AMX 30 i havent seen this play from you anymore
@quickybaby
when it comes to the situation of face hugging an is7, just shoot the is7 under the gun when your opponent lifts it up! so easy to penetrate and lots of is7 drivers are really confused how they got penned! greetings joe
Watching this again and remembering how op the WT auf E-100 was...
i would recommend angling the is 7 when not hull down because the lower plate is straight and the main weakpoint
I wish I discovered this channel before I got a bunch of tier tens
The IS-7 also has a wonderful grind in the tech tree.
Jingles and you have both ecouraged me to get back into the battleship that is this game… only my two favourite youtubers could do that
What about IK?? Never forget IK!
Yomir Kun Never seen/heard him in a video
Quicky you'll always have my respect you're one of the best. Great bit of homework you've done on that inaccurate is7 lol but hey you pulled it off nicely done m8
I like how this used to better than the maus in every way except for the hit points
I keep reading on forums that Vents don't actually provide 5% improvement but more like 2 or 3%. But regardless, I tend to use it in all my tanks because I need all the help I can get.
*Edit: Thanks for the crew skill tips, QB. I never actually knew that about the second loader. I'll keep an eye out for that now.
Woah - this is highly anticipated.
Just in time, got IS7 as my first Tier 10 4 days ago.
If you have high pen, aim for the front drive wheel when its coming after you. Ammo rack is there.
I was waiting this for years!!!!!!!!!
Just got my IS7 and am totally frustrated that I'm not generating the kind of DMG generated in the Tier-9 T10. It was an incredibly long (but fun) grind and now? Remorse...
Yep just stay at the T10. Going from the T10 to the IS7, is like going from the Hell Cat, to the T25/2.
exactly.....do you find your silver is going bye bye like a fart in the wind?
is7 is a odd exception to the angling rule. it performs better to just face front than angle if the front isnt covered.
17:32 "...take one shot from the griller..."
When driving against it, I treat it as a victim -consistent and easy penetration. Especially if they are playing it shy and try to trade with you from mid range. Unless they are in a pack with other is7's, they are really not that strong.When driving the actual tank I apply a "in your face" strategy -try to convince a few heavies in my team to come with me and just go balls crazy from 10m distance. You would be amazed how people panic when they see you coming at them at full speed.
i love the is7 but it sucks when u can get 2 shot from most tier ten td
By the sounds of the intro, it's just over powered as hell!
The Jgpz's 420mm penetration HEAT round says hi to the IS-7
Kinda weird, but the way you explain it makes it sound like a much better super pershing. That tanks all about applying pressure on your opponents and "encouraging" them to miss their shots
First t10 just bought it back, holy hell I miss it
Love these reviews keep it up

VK4202 (P).Oh no.He got the Jingles syndrome D:
I started grinding to the is7 in 2012... after a long freaking break im 23k xp from unlocking it... fuck yeeeee
I would like to stress that the side armor has internal angling of the 100mm of side armor. However, this is not seen and it makes people think that the 30mm of spaced armor is to be blamed for the troll side armor. While the 30mm of spaced armor does influence it, the 100mm of internal angling is what makes it so trollish.
Thanks QB, awesome video!!
i love my IS-7. Best game for damage blocked was over 8,000.
Can't wait to meet you at Tank Fest this year! :D
Since you just did the IS-7, you should review the T-10 before it!
Lol i needed this video!!!! i have the T-10 tank and im just about to get the IS-7
One thing is-7 has is a high chance to be ammo racked by high caliber premium shells like the Jageru
gotta love those rams on my own IS-7, found it total fun when some 13 90 tried to ram me :3
I have clutch plus offroad on the driver. It really helps mobility on the driver so much I still do not have repair on that guy.
IS 4 review! needed right now
a t-10 review would be lovely!😉
