Commanders!
You'd better make room in your Garage, or this tough mid-tier Soviet heavy will break down the door and make its own. The VI Object 244 combines some of the best traits of two well-known and very capable Soviet tanks into one hard-to-stop package.
The hull was taken from the infamous IS tank and paired with the 85 mm gun of a T-34-85. The result wears a good and bouncy armor layout that is tough to crack, especially for lower-tier tanks. It also has a decent amount of HP and a gun with good handling and DPM. Best of all, it is the most accurate tank among its heavy Soviet peers, which earns it the title as the sharpshooter of the bunch.
Take on targets of a lower or equal tier by yourself, or support the advance of your team on the front line.
