The IS-3 (also known as Object 703) is a Soviet heavy tank developed in late 1944. Its semi-hemispherical cast turret (resembling that of an upturned soup bowl), became the hallmark of post-war Soviet tanks. Its pike nose design would also be mirrored by other tanks of the IS tank family such as the IS-7 and T-10. Too late to see combat in World War II, the IS-3 participated in the Berlin Victory Parade of 1945, the Korean War, in the border conflict during the Sino-Soviet split, the Soviet invasion of Hungary, the Prague Spring, the Russo-Ukraine War, and on both sides during the Six-Day War.

I love this tank in War Thunder, it'll deflect a solid APDS round from a Leopard 1, but will die to a 7.62mm machine gun bullet that ricocheted off of the turret manlet into the tank hitting a crew member resulting in a "Fuel Explosion"
Made with glorious Stalinium
I sure do love hitting commie tanks with 200mm shells hehe
