History
The IS-2 entered mass production in October 1943 and, with its long-barreled 122mm gun able to destroy German tanks from a long range, was considered to be the most powerful Soviet tank of WWII. However, because of a separate ammo hold, the gun's reload time was disturbingly long. Against aircraft and light-armored targets the tank employed a turret-mounted large-caliber machine-gun.

In Game
Expensive tank but with a devastating main gun and heavy frontal armor. Like in history this tank has an incredibly long reload time of 15 seconds.
