Purchased one.

Pros: Gun behavior is a quantum leap above the T32's pathetic scheißekanone.  That said, it's only adequate at best.

Actually invincible when sidescraping (until someone rushes you because HURR DURR NEW TANK ME HAS TO SHOOT HURR DURR)

Excellent mobility for the size... though turret traverse is somewhat sluggish.

Gun depression over the sides comes in handy.

 

Cons: Having a better gun than a T32 is hardly an accomplishment.

It still isn't great, and the pen is laughable.

Turret placement and lack of frontal gun depression make it an awkward experience in both vodkamobile heavy and US heavy spots.

As C6 mentioned, the lower plate is an auto-pen for any same tier tank, and lots of lower tier ones.

Even though mobility is still good for a heavy, it still won't chase down mediums.

Also, massive flat sides are massive.

You will not get IS-like [edited]dings on 90 degree shots.

 

All in all, solid tank, probably not the next Defender or Mod 1 imo.

The term goes back to 1974-75 for Chrysler Imperial / Cordoba when Kahn was hiding in old Earth timeline as an actor named Ricardo Montalban.

 

 Lee Iacocca was going to do a project with Chrysler & Mr. Coffee.

 

The car was going to be named.......

Man, I saw that news when I was looking for a Chris Hansen picture to post. At least he isn't a child predator...?

I used to watch his show, what great tv that was remember? Some 40 year old perv would drive 500 miles to meet a 14 year old to find Chris Hanson there with a full camera crew and cops. Chris would ask, " What were your plans here tonight?" Perv: " I just came to talk, and watch a movie"....

Plus all those K models had lots of bugs = I bet it's tracks break whenever go over a rock  

Plus the only one i encountered so far was no match for my Indien Panzer.

Just remember, when AMC was about to go under, and be absorbed by Chrysler, Lee Iacocca was standing bed-side, with a pen, and paper.

Totally agree

[Gavidoc01]

Sidescraping is finicky with it due to the weak side armor and it has to be somewhat extreme to work which makes it hard to utilize the gun effectively due to the lower front plate. Hull down it’s great until you have to use your gun depression. 

 

Overall a meh heavium. It’s speed makes it a better heavium vs a heavy. In a tier ix match it’s like driving a vk45.03 in a tier VIII match.

Very scary tank, I lit one on fire knocked 800+ dmg of it with a standard AP round in a Pershing but that guy had like 30 battles so you know. Next round, one was on our team he got 4 kills and we won! Definitely will get it.

This outcome has probably more to do with the driver than the tank. It’s a heavily armored tank, balanced with a subpar gun. Maybe above average, but doesn’t seem to be OP. Bushka had it on display in tonight’s stream and had to work hard to make it work.

I bought it this morning, it’s definitely not OP.  

   Turret is great, but the placement on the rear 1/3’rd ruins frontal Gun Depression. 

 Sides and Rear are effectively paper - and the front glacial can be penned by a T-43 (ask me how I know). 

 

Gun is aweful - so bad I went against my norm and loaded GLD 

  Pen is less than awesome, 198 base for AP (208 with CS) 

 

Turret and being fairly mobile is its only redeeming feature.  

 

I aced it on my 10th (and likely last game in it).

  While I did decently in it - it was more of a function of both teams sitting on the open slugging it out while I went hulldown by B cap.  

 

 

got my ace in 7. I have to say I like the tank. Haven’t really gotten to go against any tier 9s but it is a sidescrapping beast. 

[TheDirtdart]

The thing has better mobility than the SP. It is surprisingly agile. Which...I doubt. But it is a gold tank so there you have it. 

[Destroy0]

So it's an Is2sh that can actually sidescrape and not get penned from every direction including the turret!

faster and bigger gun

The Chrysler has better power to weight, ground resistances and traverses. So effectively, the Chrysler is quite a bit faster than the IS-2sh. It also has better armor on all sides. So really, the only advantage the IS-2sh has is alpha and pen.

Yes, that’s what everyone strives to be remembered for. 

“At least he wasn’t a child predator”

 

I can think of a number of people, that should have that written on their tombstone.
