China's "IS-3"

Well... now that those 5 videos are uploaded already, I can get on with the post.

Yep, finally after soo many hours... they are uploaded to YouTube. Time to get on with the post.

So continuing from my last post... have you guessed what tank it is? Well, the title's a big giveaway already actually... It's the 110, the Tier VIII [or eight] Heavy Tank.

Some say that it's much better than the IS-3 in terms of armor.

Yes, it's armor is actually better than the IS-3... at least from the front. It doesn't have the spaced side armor or very low-profile cupolas that tank had too...

Okay, before I drag on too much, it's time for the videos... since there's about 5 [FIVE] of them.


Now, onto the next one... Lost during this match, and that arty though...


In the next video, I had to face an enemy 110... Managed to kill him in the most cheap way.


There's nothing special in the next video, though. Just an average battle... but did managed to pull an epic shot towards an enemy IS-3 to it's tiny as-hell cupola.


...And now, the final replay. Another loss, but did really well in blocking incoming damage... got it piled up to 6000 DAMAGE BLOCKED. Normally this kind of numbers are seen on end-tier Heavy Tanks like the Maus for example...

...ironic since my Maus has never blocked up to 6000 damage before.


...Aaannnd that's all the videos placed in this post. Now, about the tank...

The 110 is pretty much a modified IS-2... or more specifically a modified IS-2U. The tank used a turret similar to the T-10, so that means it's a combination of Tier VIII [or eight] and Tier IX parts.

The 110's gun is also pretty good... rapid fire and high penetration, although the damage output might make some players not want to have the tank.

Pretty straightforward to play this tank: when engaging enemies, make sure to face the tank straight-on to them. If you're not straight-on, the pike nose armor will get very weak... even if it's just a bit off.

This is because unlike the IS-3, the 110 has a much more higher profile. The sloping and angling on the pike nose armor on the IS-3 is more forgiving to it's player as it's much more lower and hence, it's angle is less steep.

Ahh... the epitome of "Russian Bias"...

It's just like the 113/112 Heavy Tank compared against the 121 Medium Tank. but only these tanks have different frontal plate angles... 68 degrees for the 113/112 which is more superior than the 121.

The IS-3 and 110's comparison is on it's pike nose steepness, instead.

Anyways, the 110 also has a number of weakspots as well. The cupolas are a dead giveaway, and the lower frontal plate is also another one. Then there's the side armor... you can't angle too much in this tank, period.

The tank is also pretty vulnerable against High Explosive ammo as HE isn't affected by armor angle values... and this tank has only 120mm thickest on the hull... so that's where you would wanna shoot them when you are using those tanks with Howitzers [or 'Derp' guns/tanks is what players normally call them].

Shooting HE at the turret will result in lesser damage instead as the front of the 110's upgraded turret has about 201mm of armor.

To me, I prefer the 110 over the IS-3. I just prefer a faster firing and overall more accurate gun. Less damage, yes... but it's still a beast when used right.

Well, I guess that's all that has to be done now in this post. This is the last post, and will only get to come back to the usual next weekend.

Y'know, work and shizz...

What will be next week's post and video batch? Haven't decided yet, but when the time comes it'll be ready. So stay tuned for next week's update. See ya...

Upcoming Video Batch

Hey... guess who's back?

I've decided on which World Of Tanks vehicle replay I should record, but there's about 5... yes, FIVE of them. Not a problem for me, but it's gonna take some time to get them all up to YouTube.

This particular tank was chosen as it was the next smallest bulk I have [after the Maus replays]... the others stack up to 9 and 10 respectfully. [China Heavy Tank and German Heavy Tank]

There was no other smaller ones... 5 is the smallest I can find, then the one other tank has 6 replays.

I do have some single tank replays lying around, but I'd rather get these old replays uploaded and posted first... don't want to miss the chance to place them up.

So yeah... what's the vehicle? Well, it's a Tier VIII [or eight], and it's a Heavy Tank. It hails from the Chinese Tech Tree and I have mentioned about the tank several times in older posts...

...should be easy enough to guess what tank it is.

Well, I guess that's enough time wasted... time to get back to the works. Will post again when they are done.
