And IS-2 can't?? IS-2 is better than a Tiger, what are you smoking.
IS-2 regularly bounces PZ-4 aft, because it oblique GNR gun.
And no, I think Tiger is better. Due to the fact that it is less GNR - it is more effective.
Moreover, Churchill exceeds IS-2:
IS-2:
- Very soft, I almost killed the IS-2 with two squads of Folk, only DSHK struck me damage
- GNR gun (very unreliable)
- Two commanders with IS-2, one I don't use (because shock troops rule)
- limited
Cherchel:
- Very hard, holding great damage against Folk blob
- can counter Panther
- Unlimited
- can throw grenades
- Specialization bonuses (air blasting round, heavy engineers)
First: the Soviet Union have Т-70, to T-26 no role
secondly: PZ-3 is appropriate to compare with the T-50
thirdly: I would prefer the T-60 with 20-mm cannon
