How to play IS-7?

[The_Crazy_Man_25 1]

Hey guys at Wotlabs.

 

I've just gotten the IS-7 yesterday, and I have to say, it's not been fun to play.

 

Why, you may ask? 

 

People enjoy saying, "IS-7 armor is so ez to use just point it foward", but that almost never works out? Why? Magnetic lower plate weakpoint.

Seriously, out of all of my attempts to keep this thing covered, people still can see and pen it. When I do get into a perfect positions, turns out none of the enemies decide to go where I am.

 

Any tips to use IS-7? Is it a tank I just suck at and should give up on?

 

P.S. I feel like I contribute more in the IS-8

Step 1: sell IS-7

step 2: buy IS-8

Unless you need the IS-7 for clam wars, liek me

forever sad
