ISU-122-2

The VIII ISU-122-2 is the second double-barreled TD in the game, the SU-2-122 being the first. This mobile TD boasts impressive firepower but limited survivability due to its low front and turret armor. However, its high maneuverability compensates for this weakness. With rapid salvo fire and the option to choose between 390 HP and 780 HP damage modes, the ISU-122-2 provides tactical flexibility in battle. It stands as an effective and powerful support vehicle, demanding caution and a strategic approach.

The parameters displayed are valid for the vehicle with each crew member trained to 100% major qualification level. Some vehicle characteristics can be further improved with the Commander's bonus to major qualification level, crew perks, and special in-game items.

Causing 2,440 HP of damage per minute, the VIII ISU-122-2 lets you fire each 122 mm gun independently—or both simultaneously. Single-cannon rounds inflict approximately 390 HP of damage, and you can fire cyclically (one gun that reloads after each shot), sequentially (both guns alternately), or both at the same time. The double-shot salvo is what makes the ISU-122-2 lethal. To get the most bang for your buck, wait until both cannons are fully loaded, lock onto an enemy, and hold down the fire button to start a 2 second countdown until both guns discharge. Enemies caught in the blast can suffer up to 780 HP of damage.

Use the excellent 2 second aiming time and stabilization to unleash on enemies soon after arriving at a firing position. Mixing double shots and single shots can keep enemies on edge, but be aware that switching to a loaded gun after firing takes almost as long as reloading a fired one.

With great power comes great vulnerability. The bulky fixed-turret tank destroyer has 190/65/40 mm of protection, so staying hidden is key. Keep in mind the front engine compartment is prone to fire, so an Automatic/Manual Fire Extinguisher or Modified/Improved Configuration would be a wise choice. The 370 m view range is in line with most of its peers but can be expanded with equipment or trained crew perks.

The VIII ISU-122-2 has good mobility and maneuverability for its massive size. It reaches a 40 km/h top speed, and the 20 km/h reverse speed allows you to withdraw to cover quickly. The 30 deg/s traverse speed is also helpful for repositioning in short order.

Auction Rules

Expand
  1. Experience a dynamic open auction: In the open format, every lot is available for bidding at any moment during its active period. You will see the number of available items, the minimum bid, and the deadline for placing new bids. You will also see the number of bids that have already been made and the competitive (median) bid (after the number of bids has exceeded the number of available items).

  2. Bid with gold or credits: Each lot exclusively accepts bids in one predetermined in-game currency: gold or credits. If the cost of a lot is specified in gold, it will not be possible to bid for it with credits, and vice versa.

  3. Bid comfortably with your chosen amount: The specified amount in gold or credits will be automatically deducted from your account.

  4. Manage your bids in real time: Adjust or cancel your bid while the lot is active. Once the lot closes, no modifications or cancellations are possible, and new bids won't be accepted. Canceling a bid ensures that any credits or gold you spent on it are returned to your account.

  5. Cross your fingers for victory: The number of winning players will depend on the number of items available. If multiple players make the lowest winning bid and there are more of these players than items to be distributed, priority goes to the players who placed their bids first.

  6. Enjoy quick rewards and refunds: Within a few hours of the bid deadline, victorious Auction participants will receive their unique vehicles. The remaining participants receive their bids back in full.
