Shoot it in the escape hatch on the back of the Turret.  Thats how an M8 killed a King Tiger IRL.

Escape hatch better be modeled right....it was the weakest point on the turret.

We'll see.....

You have a citation for that?  I am aware of an M8 kill of a Tiger I via engine fire, but not one of a Tiger II through anything.

IS-2 was way more prevelent (production starting in '43 and throughout '44), the IS-3 barely made it into the war - it never got off the train heading to Berlin, and was only at the disposal of one regiment sent to Machuria against the Japanese (where it's arguable that they were ever used in combat or saw any).  Over 3,000 IS-2s were produced during the war, compared to just over 300 IS-3s (designed in 1944) before the end of it.

The IS-3 came too late to see action in World War II. Though some older sources claim that the tank saw action at the end of the war in Europe, there are no official reports to confirm this. The tank saw no action against the Germans, although one regiment may have been deployed against the Japanese in Manchuria.

The ISU-152 on the other hand, Russia had nearly 2,000 of those bad boys wandering all across the country side before the end of the war, from 1943 and all the way to Berlin and Manchuria.
