IS-2 (China)

"Soviet IS-2 tanks were exported to China in the early 1950s and were used during the Korean War from 1950 through 1953. According to American reconnaissance data, at least four Chinese companies deployed in Korea had the IS-2 tanks, with five tanks in each company. The IS-2 tank was in service until the late 1950s. The production was discontinued due to a shortage of spare parts and the launch of the Type 59 project. A few IS-2 tanks were exported to Vietnam, where they fought in the final stage of the Indochina War of 1946-1954."

Performance
Very similar to it's Soviet IS counterpart performance and design wise. The IS-2 should be played as a brawler like the IS. The IS-2, although loosing out on the ISs 91-120 frontal armor, exchanges it for good sloped 71-90 frontal armor instead. The grind for the IS-2s tier 8 second gun is much quicker compared to the ISs, and in the final package you can mount the ISs 122 mm D-25T top gun along with a turret that adds slightly more hitpoints compared to the ISs top turret.
