Since I couldn't stop talking about how great the Soviet IS2 heavy tank was, I figured I would balance it out by talking about its less auspicious successor, the IS3. The IS3 terrified the Western Allies when it appeared in the Berlin victory parade, but while impressive on the outside, it was plagued with a number of issues that saw its production cut short.
