About the IS-2 Model 1943 - Soviet Heavy Tank:

The IS-2 was a heavy tank developed in the Soviet Union in the waning years of World War II. A direct descendant of the earlier KV-1 heavy tank program, it was intended to correct deficiencies in armor layout, mobility and firepower. The IS-2’s thick frontal armor was designed as defense against the powerful guns of the German Tiger and Panther tanks, while its own main gun could defeat the opposition at normal combat ranges of about 1000 yards. Primarily used as a breakthrough tank, the IS-2’s gun could utilize a powerful high-explosive shell, effective for knocking out enemy infantry and fortifications.
