SD2:IS-2 obr. 1944

 is a Soviet Tank unit in Steel Division II.

Strategy

 * The IS-2 is a monstrosity that gives the Tiger II a run for its money. Costing 35 points less, it has a gun that's slightly weaker and armor that's slightly thinner than that on the Tiger, but makes up for it with availability and sheer resilience at pretty much any range. It eats lesser tanks for breakfast and unlike the Tiger II, losing one doesn't drastically change the battle: You'll usually always have a backup available. The only real weakness of the IS-2 is its speed. It is very vulnerable to bombers, particularly ones with AP cluster bombs (hi, Ju 87), and doesn't enjoy artillery barrages. The best way to deal with one is to flank it or panic it with artillery, then close in for the kill or surrender.
