It's got an impenetrable turret, a wicked pikenose, Is8 level side armor, and mobility that is for some reason better then all the other Is varients.

What the heck are y'all smoking? I definitely prefer the IS-3, by miles, other than the credit coefficient. The IS-5's turret hatches are an easy pen and I find that the APCR is far more unreliable. Meanwhile the IS-3 has a much stronger turret.
It has a little more dpm at the cost of less pen, and more hull armor at the cost of mobility (worse terrain resistance seems to make a huge difference plus horrid traverse). Not to mention worse gun handling. Still, I'd get it. Also, arguably, the T34 is by far more OP than the IS-5.
It does NOT have better mobility, gun handling, or turret than the IS-3.
It has the same gun stats as the T34 despite 27mm less pen (and more shell velocity)
Please people, check your facts before your emotions get the best of you.

it has IS-8 turret so I'm used to the turret hatches and vulnerable cheeks. I'll probs play it like an IS-3

Yes. It prints credits. It’s easy to carry in. It’s only 1500 gold.
Tips to win in the IS-5 are simple. Drive forward and shoot. The gun handling is horrid so don’t expect it to hit where you’re aiming. It’s armor is solid and very strong while you are on the move. If you can drive any of the IS-spam tanks well, this one is no different

Well the M4 49 is truly OP. absurd frontal armor with very small weakspots. really only tier 9's can deal with it effectively

IS5 has godlike armor and decent mobility, pen, and alpha. DPM, gun handling, gun depression, etc all suck donkey nuts.
Theres a reason it’s boring to play; it depends more on reds’ incompetence and/or RNG than the driver’s skill in order to do well. Snooze

100% agree, I would take the is3 over the is5 any day.

I play a lot of tier 8, and I can tell you that the Is3 is much easier to deal with then the Is5.
Now it might be easily chalked up to the fact that only veteren players can access the Is5, but there is a significant armor difference between the two.
While the two tanks have identical armor on paper, the Is5 has a much more pronounced and effective pikenose. It also seems to get Is7 and Is8 level of inpennable side armor.
