Speaking strictly for 1v1:
The IS2 is a perfect example how a lategame heavy tank should work.
It ought to result in an "Oh shit!" moment for the opponent scrambling all available AT to form a defense. Well, at least that's my reaction when playing as Ostheer.
I do think the oneshotting of infantry units and PAKs is terrible - but unfortunately a that's quite common in CoH2 for units with 4 or less entities so I guess the IS2 is in tune with the general CoH2 theme.
When I see a tiger trundling onto the field it doesn't invoke the same reaction.
Personally I think of the tiger as a tougher but slower panther that's slightly more effective at sniping infantry.
Fighting a tiger can certainly be annoying even frustrating as some soviet AT counters suddenly turn out to be heavily RNG dependant no matter the attack angle...
I don't know how to describe it accurately, but to me the tiger doesn't really feel unique.
The IS2 does.
EDIT:
@coh2player
I'd also like to know if your post was describing you to 1v1s or 2v2+s games.
Thanks!
