Well IS-3s are overall a very solid tank. Great armor and the best side armor in the game.
However i would still go for the King tiger instead. IS-3s can't even penetrate KTs frontaly, however KTs can kill IS-3s at a relativly close range.


Personaly though...I would say the Pershing is the best tank for its price.
Good gun, good armor, 50 cal and normaly wins vs Panthers,tigers, Centurions, IS-1s and sometimes IS-2s.

Centurions are pitiful........Ive seen people call the T29 crap for armor...its the Cent. It has like 160 on the turret and 67 on the hull....67? srsly, on a 1945 tank....67...geez, even the Chi Ri has better armor then that

They include the crappy Centurion in MoW. Not the good one, and the Cent isn't even a Heavy Tank. Its the world's 1st Modern MBT. And it kicked ass.

Yup the Centurion is shit. Only time its good is when its in a hull down position. However it has more then 67 in armor. It has 80mm sloped armor.
But thats still not much for a unit that cost 76 points.

From what iv heard the Centurions armors will have 120mm in the expansion. However thats only a rumor.

The Centurion is only shit in the game. The Centurion Mk 5/2 had the famous 105 mm L7 rifled gun, and a max armor thickness of 150mm, 6 inches. That was on the turret, the hull had 76.2mm, 3 inches, well sloped armor.

And 76mm is like not much better then regular war tanks...the 88 eats it for lunch all the same =P I wouldnt wanna be a Cent crewman..King Tiger all the way, even if it means dodging P47 bombs and Tempest rockets

The Centurion that you see in the game, is basically an Israelian version with the wrong gun, etc. The 6 Centurions that was rushed to Europe in May 1945 and arrived in combat units two weeks AFTER the war ended, did have a 17 pounder (that´s 76mm) main gun and a 20mm coaxial automatic cannon. The turret also looked very different from what we´ve in the game right now.

So, what you do get in the game, is a Centurion Mk. I with the correct main gun, but with everything else... plain wrong and it shouldnt even be in the game in the first place, since it was never used during WW2. A better UK tank to have added, would´ve been the Comet A34, which is was almost as good as the Panther.

There is a mod I DL'd that had the A41 Black Prince. Looks like a Churchill Hull and Comet Turret w/ a 76mm. Weird for sure

Comet like never saw action either. But it doesn't matter what they add because there's nothing that the 88 can't pwn. Even if they added the T-62 (Which was from the 60s). The 88 couldn't penetrate it frontally but if it got repeated hits on the turret in the same spot it might be able to knock it out eventually. The 88 was just too good, IIRC the L7 105 did surpass it in AT capability and obviously its superior than the 88 when firing HE.
