I think the problem is people are just not afraid of the 88 in a brawl. I'm playing it like a sniping tank until I can use the 10.5, so its basically a beefy tiger. The tank is agile and maneuverable and it is fairly intimidating. I have a vstab, rammer and vents on it over a GLD. Need to just get a few more games in to get a better feel of the tank, I'm sure it'll be better as I get used to its armor over a tiger.
I don't believe the IS-3 is superior over a KT with exception of the speed. Armor is poor, pivot abilities are bad... but it plays like a medium with a top speed of 39 (and has no problems hitting it).
But the 3-4 games I had, I found myself holding passes all by myself vs hordes of mediums, arty shots and heavies. Idiot teams are so fecking annoying.
I recently got my KT and I'm loving this tank. I may not even upgrade the gun. I did this last night:
I killed a Lowe capping our base and then took on the next 5 tanks pretty much by myself.
Just 2K away from the upgraded turret (bypassing the gun to get the turret as I'm diggin the 203mm pen and accuracy.........and cheap price of shells).
