-The IS-7's armour is some of the best conventional armour on any vehicle available in War Thunder. However, due to its BR it often faces vehicles that possess weaponry that the thick, conventional steel armour has no hope of stopping: HEAT-FS, ATGMs and APFSDS. While some sections of the vehicle might be resistant to even these, for the most part, these rounds won't struggle to penetrate.
+The IS-7's armour is some of the best conventional armour on any vehicle available in War Thunder, it is even strong enough to be able to resist APDS, HEAT and HESH from many angles, by no means invincible to these threats, the armor is still noticeable and combined with the excellent mobility can cause many ricochets and non-pens, this still applies to a much lesser extent in uptiers.
-As such, the IS-7's true chances of survivability come from its excellent mobility and the spread-out crew. The ideal use of the IS-7, particularly when facing more modern vehicles, is to use its good mobility to get into an early advantageous position, and from there using its reverse speed to duck in and out of cover.
+The oddly places RP-46 machineguns on the sides of the hull and turret can eat HEAT, HE and HESH shells.
-Unfortunately, however, the vehicle's limited ammunition load and the sheer size of the rounds result in ammunition being vulnerable, strewn throughout. In fact, penetrating rounds are often more likely to hit one of many ammo racks than they are crew members.
+The IS-7 has a very survivable internal layout with over half of the ammunition being in weird and hard to hit locations combined with a spread out and large crew of 5.
-To put it simply: Despite the IS-7's status as a 'heavy tank', it shouldn't be played like earlier heavy tanks, but instead should be played like an early MBT, utilising mobility and reload over armour.
+Unfortunately, however, the sheer size of the rounds result in ammunition being vulnerable unless taking a much reduced ammunition load with the first removed racks being the most harmful to you.

-The {{PAGENAME}} sports excellent mobility characteristics, despite its weight; its 1050 horsepower diesel engine comfortably pushes the vehicle to its top speed of 63 km/h (AB) or 60 km/h (RB/SB) with what seems like absolute ease. As such, it drives similarly to early MBTs. Despite a lack of neutral turning, the {{PAGENAME}} is more than capable of hull traversing at a competitive speed to best utilise its armour when necessary; this is notably improved by the Tracks upgrade. It possesses two reverse gears, and when combined with the powerful engine the vehicle can reverse surprisingly fast for such a large and heavy tank.

 The 130 mm S-70 gun stays reliably accurate until 1,500 m distance. Beyond 2,000 m the loss of accuracy becomes a real handicap.

It lacks a stabilizer and may struggle to fire on the move, but it is a surprisingly smooth ride for firing on the move even at higher speeds.
 The gun uses two-piece ammunition with projectiles and propellant bags. Thanks to the autoloader, your 6-shots first order ammo rack allows your tank to have a reload time similar to vehicles at the same BR. The reload time however becomes 2 to 3 times longer once the ready rack is empty.
-Your recoil is important but not powerful enough to throw your gun off target after firing.
+The recoil of the gun is significant and will often move your tank enough to stop track repairs if you have not gone into a full repair.

-The IS-7, similarly to the rest of the IS line, should be played as a breakthrough tank, taking advantage of its extreme durability, and avoiding long-range engagements where its shells simply lose effectiveness. With upwards of 450 mm of effective armour in places, there's no need to shy away from taking on almost any opponent.
+The IS-7 is best used in the same ways that you would use a Leopard 1, using it's high speed and manuevrability to engage targets in favourable terms and from unexpected angles, using the armor more as a just-in-case, the biggest difference is range preference, as the IS-7 has no rangefinders and conventional ammo only, it is best suited for close-to-mid range engagements.
-The IS-7 is capable of destroying almost any machine on the battlefield and should have no qualms about combatting anything on the right terms. However, it's best to be wary of tanks with ATGMs, high-penetration HEAT, large-calibre HESH and anything with APFSDS, as they are able to disable you, often through your frontal plate. Also be wary of any tanks with two plane stabilisers, as the IS-7s main armament is not stabilised in any way and must be stopped before it can fire accurately.
+You can rely fairly safely on that a good chunk of the playerbase has never seen an IS-7 let alone fought one and very few know how to actually deal with one.

-The '''IS-7''' is the sixth variant of the IS heavy tank family. It is a Soviet heavy tank that began development in 1945 under the project designation Object 260. The vehicle only existed as a prototype before being cancelled in favour of the [[T-10A|T-10 (IS-8) variant]]. Nikolai Fedorovich Shashmurin designed the IS-7 in Leningrad in 1945. It was the largest and heaviest member of the IS heavy tank family, weighing 68 tonnes and armed with a long-barreled 130 mm S-70 tank gun. It was also one of the most sophisticated heavy tank designs. The armour was designed in the same way as the [[IS-3]], with a pike nose on the upper glacis wearing 150mm of armour inclined at a 65° angle. The lower glacis was supposed to be 100 mm thick, however, measurements revealed that it may be as thick as 110-120mm depending on welding variances. When shot from the front, the sharp angle of the pike nose increases the possibility of a ricochet. The 130 mm S-70 tank gun was a naval gun adaptation that fired a 33 kilogram armor-piercing round with a muzzle velocity of 900 meters per second. The gun's loading mechanism used an assisted loading mechanism with a conveyor belt system. It could hold six ready rounds before needing to be replenished. The rounds were divided into two parts: the shell and the propellant. According to Nicholas Moran, the prototype IS-7 had eight machine guns and might have had to remove five of them if it had gone into production. The IS-7 was an outstanding breakthrough vehicle, but it was far too heavy and expensive to build; the T-10 was better suited for warfare as it was much easier and cheaper to transport. The work IS-7 was terminated on February 18, 1949.

-Introduced in [[Update 1.79 "Project X"]] as the main reward of the [[Operation S.U.M.M.E.R.|2018 Operation S.U.M.M.E.R. event]], the IS-7 is one of the greatest heavy tanks available to the Soviet Army ground forces. It's best to play it in the medium range. The IS-7 has substantially fewer concerns with flankers than prior IS heavy tank variants since its side armour is significantly thicker. Almost no conventional round can penetrate the frontal armour, and there are few weak spots. The IS-7 has an assisted loading mechanism with a conveyor belt system that allows for the loading of 130 mm rounds in as little as 10 seconds. In addition to its impressive armour, the IS-7 is armed with no less than eight machine guns, which serve as an effective deterrence to any light vehicles that may wander into its path. Furthermore, the IS-7 is equipped with a substantially more powerful engine than previous IS heavy tank variants, improving acceleration and manoeuvrability without sacrificing any maximum forward or reverse speed. IS-7 players should not be discouraged by challenging terrain, as the broad tracks and powerful engine will make swift work of any surface. The IS-7 should be used as a breakthrough tank, pushing forward to allow friendlies to use lighter vehicles to secure objectives. However, be aware that it is not completely invincible, as experienced opponents may exploit the vehicle's few minor flaws. Furthermore, some high-calibre rounds (such as the FV4005 and Conway) will easily disable your vehicle regardless of where they hit.

 The IS-7 looks quite similar to the [[IS-3]] and [[T-10M]], however due to the assisted loader and much heavier armour, the turret is significantly longer. It has machine guns strewn all over the hull and turret, and a distinctive gun with a perforated cylinder type muzzle brake. Its top-mounted 14.5 mm KPVT machine gun is on an extremely tall spindle mount.
-As with previous IS tanks, the IS-7 should be played at close to medium ranges, as the monstrous short-range power of the gun falls off with range.
