The IS-10 (later renamed and better known as T-10, I'm calling it IS-10 to emphasise its connection to the IS family of tanks) has arguably perfected the design. Well, maybe not perfected. Nothing is really perfect, but it was the epitome of the IS series. It saw the longest production run of any IS tank, as well as the longest service time. Most IS variants were only in production for 2 years. The IS-10 was in production for 13 years, and saw service for almost 45 years. As for the IS-7, while the IS-7 was promising, it's weight and cost made it unappealing, thus it never left the prototype phase. Many of the shortcomings from previous IS tank designs would be resolved in the IS-10, including the weight and cost issues that plagued the IS-7.

The IS-3 went through continuous upgrades every few months since they first came off the production lines in 1946. The first major upgrade package called IS-3M started in 1952, and featured a plethora of updates. It was then updated into its final form in 1957 after the Hungarian uprising, and those models were among the many sent to Egypt that were used in 1967. The tank remained in use in the USSR all the way until the early 1970s which is pretty impressive considering it was replaced by the T-10 and T-64. So there was some serious effort to keep them in inventory.

I think that tanks which were perfect for the era they were designed for but terrible in the era they entered production are the most interesting in this series. The flagship of these has to be the French B1

If I'm being honest if the IS-3 was given the 100mm I think it'd have been a better tank for sure. Also I've sat inside an IS-3, and I gotta say, its rather cramped. The turret positions aren't as bad as I would have thought, although commander visibility is disappointing. But the drivers position is absolutely horrendous, and I was almost too tall for it and I was only 5 foot 6 inches at the time. The hatch is absolutely tiny, I actually got in the position through the turret, rather than try to get in through the hatch.

@kobeh6185

@taistelusammakko5088 funny you mention that because the Object 248 (IS-100) is in the game. As for 122 vs 100, in the post war environment and logistics the IS-3 found itself in, the 100mm ammunition would have been more logistically consistent, and you would be able to carry more of it in the tank. Later 100mm HE rounds from Post-WW2 actually have pretty impressive power. I would think a 100mm gun, double the rate of fire, and significantly more ammo on the tank would make up for the single shot potential of the 122mm D-25. I'm aware of why it was selected, but honestly it appears the IS-3 would have had more longevity with a 100mm rifle.

Having seen one of these tanks in person I can agree it is a very intimidating design but the flaws you pointed out are not surprising to me. However I still think it is an interesting page in tank design and I wish i could have gotten to hear it run while I was at the museum. And for anyone interested the IS-3 I saw is at the House of Tank Museum in Wichita Kansas. It's a private collection so a lot of the tanks there are in operational condition.

I've been waiting for this

Excellent video.

I honestly only know the IS-3 from descriptions of turrets and forward hulls being used as static defenses along the Russo-Chinese border in Tom Clancy's The Bear and the Dragon. They were part of a complex of defensive emplacements dug into the terrain. The PLA broke through after negating Russian artillery with counter battery missiles and throwing bodies into the meat grinder.

Could you do a video on the IS-7? Best looking tank ever in my opinion.

A possible depiction of the Leningrad Kirov (LK) IS-3 is the IS-2U, it is a modernization project for the IS-2 via implementing a pike nose, it may be the design the LK plant had, and the latter Chelyabinsk Kirov (CK) Plant may be the Kirovets-1, which is an early design to the IS-3. Both of these are vehicles from World of Tanks and it's Blitz version so the info may be a bit foggy, Wargaming's depiction of the IS-2U is the WZ-110 Chinese heavy tank, and the Kirovets-1 is a standalone heavy tank, and is the stock turret for the IS-3, the WZ-112-2 is also similar looking to the Kirovets-1.

Love the squat look of the IS-3!

I believe what I have seen on some photos that has been taken on the 1956 hungarian revolution contained footage of some IS-3s. All of them had their turrets exploded... And we didn't have a that strong of a tank force.

GHPC voicelines in the background. Solid.

this is a very awesome 7.0 tank tho, only downside in the game is its outdated gunner optics, however its commanders optics are great

Go to the is3 in the Russian tech tree press on armour and remove additional armour and you'll see how small the space inside that tank

Its biggest success was prompting all the western powers to build and maintain expensive and redundant heavy tanks, similarly plagued with mechanical issues, like the Conqueror or the M103.

I cannot unsee the pan flipped upsidedown now

I love the aesthetic of the tank that pan turret me likey

I dont blame the Western Allies for being intimidated by the look of the IS3, it looks like an absolute monster with its sloped backward and sideways frontal armor and gigantic main gun.

It was one of the most influential tank designes ever. Not only did it influence M103 and Conqueror but also CHieftain indirectly as Chieftain was designed to combine mobility of Centurion and Firepower of Conqueror

Could you do the next one on the centurion i think it would be quite interesting

This tank used to be feared back in the day

Somehow "It's just good at looking scary" holds up as true because ingame when I first saw the IS-3 in a Tiger 2 I thought it had a different gun from IS-2 and could pen the UFP until I realized it was just the 122 and I just shot the mantlet

Could you please do one on the Chieftain as well? I would like to hear your perspective on the tank, especially in regards to the engine.

2:50 IS-3s weren't sent to the European theatre, but there is evidence that they were used against Japan in Manchuria and the Kuril islands. So, it most likely was used in WW2 3:39 The engine was not really unreliable. You can find videos on youtube of Russian seperatists in Ukraine starting an IS-3 that had been left on display for decades. Compare that to other WW2 tanks, which require pretty intense maintenance to stay in running order 3:45 Cracks in the turret were a problem with early production IS-3s, but this was slowly resolved as Soviet casting techniques improved. Same goes for the hull. All around this is definitely better than your old IS-3 video, but I still think you rely on Zaloga too much when there are preserved primary sources from the '40s that you could be using. Zaloga wrote about the IS-3 in 1997, long before the internet gave us direct access to formerly classified soviet documents, and more importantly, he doesn't speak Russian so his ability to gather and interpret sources largely relies on his translators.

I love the Is series of heavy tanks , with the Is3 now officially being the tank I want in wot console modern armour ww2 mode / blitz and WT

The IS-2 turret was weak against the 88 and long 75 Gajin: I will ignore that.

4:40 that derpy Chinese I63 giving you trouble is me!

the first combat deployment (at least one of the first) of the IS-3 was in 1956 during the hungarian revolution but the hungarian revolutionaries managed to take them out even without anti-tank equipment (they used molotov coctails on the engine deck) also the same revolution was the t-54 first combat use too

There are some IS3 rusting away on a few Islands in the pacific area. They were sent there at the end of WW2. But after being deployed the war did end. They never came back, nor did see any combat. But they were there if Japan had any plans.

I went and saw an Is3 at the tank museum here in wichita kansas, didnt realize it was so low to the ground, i was almost taller than it

Sloped armour has ballistic advantages but degrades interior space massively affecting battlefield performance & it was such a limiting factor that Soviet tank crews were recruited by the lack of physical size rather than ability

the way that USSR(CCCP) think is that "as long it kills, it works"

It's still a very futuristic cool looking design.

Ooo i am accually thinking of gameing parts, ill use the code

I mean, looking scary was all it was really needed for. So I’d say mission accomplished!

Does anyone know what font his ending card is? I love that font

Hey spook, I'd love if you did one of these on the jagdpanzer 38(t), since it's another one of those vehicles people say was really bad or really good, also it would be good to hear your verdict on the armour issue, I've seen historians mention that it was RHA, which dies go agaisnt what Doyle said, so I'd love to hear your thoughts on the matter

Hetzers were objectively not a great vehicle and were especially miserable for the crew assigned to them, but they were well suited for what Germany needed at the time, which was a small, easily-hidden tank hunter that could ambush superior numbers of enemy armor and was available in large quantities. It destroyed many allied and soviet tanks, so you can't call it a total failure.

@@dark7element the poor crew conditions and visibility issues are common knowledge, as is the fact that it was a rather effective tank hunter (which does kinda make it a good vehicle rather than a bad one as the lead argument for the quality of one vehicle would be how effective it was, poor design decisions/limitations, t34 and m3 being fantastic examples of very flawed vehicles being very effective) my comment exists to ask spook on his views of the hetzer purely out of curiosity and personal bias as it is my favourite AFV

T-10 or IS-4 next might aswell do the other Soviet heavies

Ran into this man when he was recording some battles for the video on the Japan map.

1:44 I believe you are referring to the IS-2U, which you cam find the blueprints for online.

Egyptians used these against Israels Centurions and Pattons. It was such a failure that they put most of the remaining IS-3s out of service.
