If the T-43 gets a 100mm I demand for my Easy Eight to get a 90mm.

I hate seeing T29's lately on my team. Most of the time they have 76mm's...Well, still better then that T34 with the 90mm I saw one time.

The IS is great and the IS-3 is a monster.
The T-150 is okay but not that great, not familiar with the KV-3 since they moved it up to tier 7 but I can easily beat them in other tier 7 tanks, and I'm told the KV-4 isn't that great.
I guess if you have the credits do both lines, but I wouldn't go down the KV line over the IS line.

KV-3 and KV-4 used to be great tanks before credit-for-goldammo came about. now whenever anyone sees a KV-4 or KV-3, they just lol and load gold and pen it frontally. The KV-4 also doesn't get the BL9, but gets a 107 rail gun thats pretty good, but still not as good as the BL-9. Because of that, it gimps you when you get to T9, because you'll have to use a T7 122 when facing off against E-75's and T110's.
The IS and IS-3 are good tanks, and because they weren't good tanks because of their armor (besides the IS-3's shell eating side armor) they weren't really affected by the gold ammo change. All in all, both lines are good but the IS line has the most advantages.

thank you both for the input. i think i will probably research but not actually buy the T150 in that case, and just keep the KV-1 as a credit earning/tier 5 funtime tank.
does the rest of the IS tree follow the same sort of gist as the KV-1S, with paper armour but ludicrous guns?

if there's anything i don't have, it's credits. i've had enough XP for the black prince and 59-16 for almost a week, but can afford neither without a lot more credit grinding :-(

I personally quite enjoyed the T-150 and KV-4, although the KV-3 was a tank I didn't do so well in (probably because I didn't yet know how to sidescrape/angle armor properly).
Sidescraping in the KV-4 allowed me to laugh at gold shells while actually hitting enemy tanks with the relatively accurate long 107. It's not exactly a brawler, but it was a great bully tank, and the amount of 'fuck you, enemy team' it could dish out was pretty damn nice.
I'm not so sure about the IS-3. The 122mm gun is slow to aim and inaccurate, the frontal armor is paper against anything but mediums, but the mobility is nice.

The 122mm hits hard and is pretty accurate (0.4), the aim time is negligible because it can mount a V-stab and and more a brawler and a peek-a-booer than a sniper.
The frontal armor is RIDICULOUSLY trolly at longer ranges, but at short ranges everyone pens either one of the unangled cheeks or your huge LFP.
It's a hit and run tank, and fun to play.
I have one of my lowest win rates in it (54%) but I generally did quite well and usually a ton of damage too.
My eff on it is just 1300 though, I wonder what I did wrong.

No clan really runs IS-7s anymore and IS-4s are used on occasion, its mostly T110 E5s, maybe some E4s, T-62As and BatChats. For arty it is T92/Batchat 155.

accuracy really isn't relevant for a tank like the IS-3. It is literally a "fuck you" blitz tank. It has an extremely low profile and it's side armor is still pretty good, even after the nerf. You shouldn't be sniping with it, you should be ramming things and unleasing the BL-9 into their side. IS-3: Best T8 heavy.

It might not be the right tank for me, then. I seem to either gravitate towards light, speedy, and very agile tanks with a gun that hits hard (a la 13 90), or big lumbering heavies that can soak up damage like nobody's business (Such as my IS-4).
Or the Jumbo. Seriously, that thing is amazing.

So... maybe I should play it more like my AMX 50 100? Flank, rape, pretend its made of paper? For that matter, how well can it face-hug? I've not been in a tank that can face-hug for quite a while, so I'm well out of practice in close up brawling.

You can pen the top turret of the IS-3 when facehugging it, it's very easy.

Depends on the tank and the tanker you're face hugging. Some tanks have the elevation to just shoot straight down into the copula or into the engine deck, while others will just bounce off the cheeks. Sometimes the idiots you're facehugging will bounce off the top cause they don't know to aim for the copulas, and other times they'll hit the copulas. Your best bet isn't to face hug, but to lock sides and scoot back and forth

Predicting the changes to the American light line come the time.
T7 takes the place of the of the chaffee at tier 5. The prototype to the M7 (before it was uparmoured) mounting the 37mm and later the 6 pounder. It had a power to weight ratio (with its most powerful engine) of 27.14hp/t.
[img]http://www.wwiivehicles.com/usa/tanks-light/t7-light-tank/t7e2-light-tank-01.png[/img]
Chaffee moves up to tier 6, but loses its second turret and the T94 76m. The first turret is instead the T24 (the chaffee's prototype turret), while the second is the M24. Instead, it receives the M1A2, taking hits to its soft stats.
Tier 7 is the M41. Its pretty much an improved chaffee. Its gun selection is the M1A2 as its stock, the T94 76mm as its second, and the 90mm as its third.

Tier 8 is is the T92 light tank. It improves slightly upon the stats of the M41, offering a reduced size and a improved top speed with a high power to weight ratio. It mounts the 76mm T94 as its first gun then the T185 on the T71 as its final gun. Guessing 420m view range at minimum.
