Probus Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 The way you kill a JS-II is you get the first shot in. Unfortunately, that wakes up the JS-II crew. Then you get the second shot in. That makes them angry cause you caused them to spill their tea. The third shot misses the JS-II but kills the last of the Tankodesantniki. The forth shot is the JS-II hitting the tank that fired the first shot, exiting that tank and killing the tank behind it. The fifth shot is actually a bomb from the Stuka flying overhead who saw the trouble on the the ground. It doesn't technically kill the JS-II, but flips it over taking it out of action for a while. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt.Squarehead Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 (edited) We know how this ends: 'Your city.....We broke it!' PS - Those are fairly late production IS-2s, they've been in existence for maybe nine months.....Just look at the state of them!

Wasn't it also quite slow to shoot with? I think I read somewhere that it took a while to make it ready to shoot each time. Or was it maybe another one of the Soviet behemoths that was slow?

Aye low ammo loadout (35ish rounds?) and two piece ammo - so yup slow to reload, and IIRC it equated to about half the rate of fire of the T-34/85, the other main tank at the time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
