    The german gun changes are suppose to be DPS neutral before someone complains about 'em.

    Personally I'm curious how the IS-7 will be after this, the front armor had issues with weak spots which I doubt they'll have removed but we'll see.

    tried my is7 in the first test server and the front seemed to bounce a lot more. others were complaining too about how strong the front had become. it could have been changed again on test 2/3 etc though.

    what does this mean? added side spaced armour

    from wiki

    Armour with two or more plates spaced a distance apart is called spaced armour. When sloped it reduces the penetrating power of bullets and solid shot as after penetrating each plate they tend to tumble, deflect, deform, or disintegrate; when not sloped it increases the protection offered by the armour because explosive projectiles detonate on it before they reach the inner plates

    Q: Could you please explain this description further? like the actual value's..Kinda hoping it's a tank worth playing now( IS7 ) . Coming from the IS4 and jumping into this tank it was really not what I was expecting.

    A: The armour is getting better. No worries. The weld between upper and lower front plates set to 270mm, plus turret saw some buffing
