I have 4 k gold saved up, but I want to know if the tank is worth this hard earned 3120 gold. I have already completed the fifty battles.

The majority of pixel arrangements wargaming sells are not worth real money.  This tank is no exception.

[Boomer625]

My stash of gold is from the ad videos, so technically still free. Does your suggestion waver?

That final decision is up to you.

 

Credit earnings are good but they're on par with most Tier 7 prems, so nothing too outstanding.

 

If you like fast firing tanks or high tier Brit heavies/meds, this is right up your alley. Otherwise, it might not live up to expectations.

The tank seems to be ho-hum at a tier full of OP contenders. If you need a credit grinder, just unlock the IS-5 for 1.5 k or wait for the upcoming Halloween event. Besides, you have the Mutant. That's a great tank! Heavily discounted is fine if it's no more than 500 or so shekels.

Is5? There is a Is6 for 7600 gold but no is5 in the tank shop.

You and your clan need supply level X. At 10k games i'm pretty sure you've got it, your clan i dunno. If nothing else just join a willing clan and then go back.

 

EDIT: Your clan has level X. Go to the clan page in-game and it should pop up.

I do see it. Is the pike nose any good on the is5? Play style?

The armor is quite troll and if you point the hull towards the enemy gun, you'll bounce a ton. I would run it with the meds, especially since the gun is quite inaccurate. It's low so you can side-hug tall heavies like the Americans and VK 100.01P. The speed allows you to "flex" and plug holes where needed but I stopped playing it because the gun really trolled me when not able to knife-fight with it. At the end of the day, a premium IS at tier 8 is worth a measly 1,500 gold.

Thx for letting me know. I never even knew that I can get a t8 for so little.

 

Is the aim time on the is5 similar to a kv1s?

I go to Blitzstars.com for the tank compare feature and for personal stat tracking, such as WR, DPB, spots, etc.

The lower plate of an IS-5 can be penned by almost tier 8 tanks.  big weak spot

[Boomer625]

Hull down Is key for the pike nose, so shells can bounce off the upper plate. The better backwards speed will definitely help me fight circling situations.

  No, nothing has been worth the asking price for a long time. All they’re selling is false hope and dreams to nubs and the guys who buy that can already play are just getting ripped off because of it.

[Boomer625]

How about the is 5 for 1600 gold?
