This tank was made way to late to really impact the war in all. the IS series over all paved the way for modern russian armor design and manufacture and held the title as the worlds most powerful land combat tank up to 1950-52. I doubt highly the scenario of facing 7 tigers and whooping 3 making the others run. The Tiger was very capable in taking on this tank as it's weapon had around the same penetration ratio as the 122mm using Sabot rounds (a technology the russions hadn't figured out yet at that time) The russions over all had a good armor design philosophy just poor weapons tech and training to use them effectively. while on the other end the Germans had excellent weapon tech. training and towards the end started to make great tanks.

a great tank. had good armour, good firepower and good manuverbility. he could deal with panthers and tigers with no problem. although he carried only 28 shells, his shells where much more powerfull than panther's or tiger's shell. for example: the panther's high explosive shell weighted only 4.7 kg and IS-2's high explosive shell weighted 25 kg! on the firing range a IS-2 fired at a captured panther tank. the IS-2's shell penetrated the panthers front armour and hit it's engine while blowing of it's turret and sending the engine flying out of the tank! That's the power of the IS-2 and that's what it could do to almost any german tank! once one IS-2 ambushed 7 german king tigers. he distroid 3 of them and send the other 4 panicing and driving away.
