The 122mm BL-13-1 A gives you an extra 23mm average penetration with standard ammo (which is APCR) and has better aim time at the cost of 0.2 added to dispersion, so it should be next on the research list.

The R-113 carries over from the IS-3 so mount it right away.

The Object 257 tends to lose its ammo rack and driver when penetrated in the pike nose, so safe stowage is a skill you might keep in mind (the IS-7 also needs it). Over-angling while sidescraping is very forgiving and track shots are less likely to do damage because of the very high ground clearance. Due to the 'strange' armor layout beneath the outer plates many shells get absorbed and deal zero damage - the side armor is nearly impenetrable to HEAT rounds because of this. Try to bait enemies into firing into your side armor by tanking in a 45В° angle.

Experiment with both guns to see which you prefer, as the upgrade gun must be unlocked to get to the improved turret and the IS-7. There is also a price difference from standard AP, but that is minimal at about 900 credits more per round. And the APCR has problems with normalization against armor. The reason for this is the BL-13 uses APCR for it's standard load. Some folks prefer the top gun from the IS-3 (BL-9) over the upgrade gun (BL-13). The tank is a major armor upgrade from the IS-3. Bad terrain resistance makes it hard to reach top speed limit Mediocre gun handling, even by Soviet standards.The turret roof, hull roof/bottom and driver's hatch can be overmatched by 136mm or higher caliber guns.Sidescraping is not viable due to preangled pike-nose.Extremely prone to ammo-racking when penetrated into the pike-nose.Many frontal weakspots: lower plate, turret roof, both cupolas and even pike-nose (when angled) impossible to hide them all.

Good top speed limit (although hard to reach) and respectable hull traverse when fully upgraded.

Hard-hitting gun, with high-velocity APCR being default ammunition.

Unique design of suspension can absorb some shots also reduces HE-splashing damage.

Side armor bounces a LOT of enemy fire lower tiers will have a hard time penning you even when flanking.

V-shaped hull with sharp angles and decent thickness all around.
