Badger will tear it to pieces…
Yea, well too bad it won’t even be able to pen this thing when angled with its shit gold rounds.
Hmmm……….very interesting. I thought the M-51 was a 152mm gun. But so it’s kinda just an IS-7, with its turret pushed to the back, the pike nose eliminated, and a bigger gun. I could definitely get into that. Any news on the tier IX? I haven’t seen an article on that one yet.
The M51 gun is indeed 152 mm, blueprint from an old FTR article confirms it. The 150 mm value is a typo. Link for the article (hope it will work)

Ah yes! That’s the article I saw once before….knew I wasn’t crazy haha. But, if its caliber IS a type (perhaps), wouldn’t the damage values reflect it being a 152mm gun? (aka 750 alpha damage). Or perhaps WG is just gonna give it a made-up gun?
The 650 alpha just seems to be a token gesture so that this thing doesn’t get mistaken for a TD. The E100 avoids the same issue via low penetration (or at least it used to before its AP was buffed), though the difference between 246 and 256 is not going to be significant in practice. And of course, code 22.
Do we know where this new line is going to break off and start in the TT? I’d like to make sure I own and grind out enough XP on the original tank so I can get a headstart on this line.
The first rear turreted heavy tank in the line will be the tier 8 IS-M (also known as IS-2Sh), so i think the line will branch off from the tier 7 IS most probably
I soiled myself
looks like Russia is getting their own e100 now.
Tank looks dope.
E100 + IS7… i want it.
Any news of the object 777?
With all the gold ammo spamming going on why bother with new tanks that have piles of armor.
To drain our wallets.
If you can’t bounce shots in superheavies, russian mediums, or even most tier 10 heavy tanks, then go back to low tier and learn positioning and angling.
… So, after they add this to the game, WG’s total number of (working) neurons is gonna be a grand, grand total of 2. We expect this number to increase to 0 in the near future.
SAD!
Looks funky, one thing I really don’t like: the sort off half assed pike nose is going to be a real pain when trying to sidescrape. No auto richochet so prem round magnet.
It’s starting to piss me off the inconsistency of guns in this game. The 152mm derp gun on the KV-2 does more damage than this fir fuck sake.
Maybe that’s because the kv2s gun is an howitzer mounted in a turret that lobs great big HE rounds, the kv2 was design to blow up concrete fortifications, the m-51 obviously designed as a tank gun to destroy other tanks
AP shells in the kv2 still do 700
This is only 650.
lol tin waves… thats the only draw back. plus how many times due you see a kv-2 do its max damage? This thing has the armor of an e100 and better everything else EXCEPT for 100 less damage.

Too much speed for super havy tank but is have huge week spoot in turret roof… ;(

Looks like a decent tank. Its equiped with the same “sides are covered by tracks and spaced armor” like the IS7 but without that stupid pikenose. Armor seems to be very good.
this, im kinda and kinda not ok with, rear russian heavy tier 10, neat concept, but still pushes the is4 to the corner as the is7 does it enough and the recent buffed st-1 has been doing it aswell
