IS-8: Guide, weaknesses and penetration zones

Soviet tanks are among the most popular in the game "World of tanks." They are represented by various models, which you should pay attention to, if you are going to develop the Soviet branch. The Soviet Union has rather agile and nimble light models, as well as powerful and formidable heavy specimens. The latter includes the heavy tank IS-8, which should be paid special attention, as it will provide you with an excellent opportunity to dominate in a variety of battles. For the IS-8, the guide will contain details about its gun, maneuverability and armor, and, of course, the overall tactics of fighting on this machine.

The gun of the tank

The first thing that users pay attention to in this game is the IS-8 guns. Hyde will give you all the necessary information about the strengths and weaknesses of the gun, which is equipped with this tank. First of all, it is worth noting a very decent one-time damage, which this weapon does - almost five hundred units. At the same time, it should be noted that his armor-piercing is also at a fairly high level. And all this is combined with quite good accuracy, which makes the IS-8 an incredibly dangerous opponent for any tank. But you should not forget that everyone has its drawbacks - in this case, it is not the fastest mixing, so it's not very convenient to do sighting shots if you have not previously taken a profitable position that will allow you to spend three whole seconds On aiming. But this is the peculiarity of the IS-8 tank. Hyde, of course, is not limited to the description of the gun - there are other important aspects that you should not forget about.

Maneuverability

The next part, which you should pay attention to, if you are studying the IS-8 guide, is the maneuverability of this tank. And here there are practically no complaints against him. Heavy car, which accelerates to fifty kilometers per hour, turns at thirty degrees per second and has a high acceleration speed - this is a real treasure. Of course, it is the overclocking speed that is far from ideal, which can cause some problems in certain areas, but still many heavy tanks do not. Thus, if you want a powerful and quite mobile model from this class, then you definitely will approach the IS-8 tank. Hyde on this, of course, does not end.

Armor

Many could, based on the information presented above, think that one of the best WoT tanks is the IS-8. Hyde, however, will disappoint you now, as this is far from the truth. In fact, there is not a single tank that has some pluses and no minuses, so it's time to get acquainted with the shortcomings of this model. Reservation of the case is the main problem of IS-8. The tower has a fairly good layer of armor and a decent slope, providing a high chance of rebounding. But the hull has only 120 millimeters of frontal armor - and on the sides and on the stern is even less. And while it does not have almost no inclination, which allows any tank above the seventh level to penetrate the body armor from one shot.

Fighting tactics

Your main task is to be able to competently select a target, as well as a position for an attack or defense. The thing is that the IS-8 is extremely weak against other heavy tanks, so it's best to avoid encounters with TTs in principle. Who, then, should be chosen as a goal? Best of all, your model will deal with artillery installations and light tanks. The latter, for example, rely in many respects in the fight against TTs on the fact that they are slow and slow. Use the speed and maneuverability of your model to surprise the enemy and disappoint him. Well, with medium tanks you only need to take care that your position is not issued by your corps.
