IS-7 / War Thunder
The IS-3 heavy tank, first shown to the world at the Berlin Victory Parade of 1945, came as a huge surprise to Western powers. Compared to the German vehicles the Allies had just fought, the new tank looked like a guest from the future, which was perceived as an alarming signal. The Cold War hadn’t started yet, but the military were wary of a potential clash with the Soviets in Western Europe, and the new tank didn’t exactly put them at ease.
At the same time, the IS-3 quickly fell out of favour in its motherland. It turned out that the design had a number of reliability problems with its engine, transmission and even frontal armour. It was hardly surprising, though, as the tank was designed in a hurry during the war. Not to mention that there was already a successor in the works — the tank that many deemed worthy of becoming the next main heavy tank of the Red Army... the IS-7.
