Starting up a 1943 IS3
« on: June 11, 2014, 05:18:21 PM »
It's been sitting for quite a long time as a monument.

It says in the story that they are preparing it for combat :aok  :headscratch: :rofl
If so, I really can't see it lasting long.

They probably were playing WOT and thought its a pretty good tank.

The most they could ever do with it is drive around and hope to roll someone over, probably one of their own before someone finds a bazooka.

Yep, bogus date for sure. But the IS-3 is still one of the most bad-ass looking tanks ever built.
