Vehicle Rebalance

The guns are the bigger issue than the armor, with the most critical issue being the clear p2w issue on the howitzer gun, as well as the premium rounds of 15cm having bit too excessive damage output.   14cm gun needs higher penetration (~255-260 mm on standard and ~300 mm on premium ammo) and either slightly better accuracy or slightly better DPM.  15cm howitzer's premium ammo shouldnt be directly superior version of regular ammo like it is now. Either give the normal ammo an advantage over the premium HE or just remove the premium HE shell.  The HE damage on 15cm needs to be dropped a bit. Howitzer gun's disadvantage should be overall slower damage dealing ability than regular gun, unless it manages to penetrate the shells. This is not the case on the Type 5 Heavy, which has only 2 sec slower reload than 14cm gun with almost same effective damage output.    Do either of these for the 15cm gun:   Remove premium HE (or nerf damage to 1100 and buff splash radius). Increase rate of fire, but not too much. Remove the 15cm howitzer entirely. Refund with XP. Would be the best option but it likely will never happen.   I will test the armor changes. After I have tested the armor and new "weakspots", I will edit this post and give my feedback.

For example; compared to the obj. 252 it has less or equal frontal armor and that is not even tier for tier. Now I know that IS-7 is not meant as a super heavy but in this state it cannot hope to flank or withhold most heavies unless it is hull down with sufficient backup fire. And I am not talking about the fact they will be flushed out by arty at some point with nowhere else to go but exposing a too weak hull armor. With the current armor, camping in a hull down spot until you are overrun/flushed out or until the game is already won is basically a given (no flanking). The lack of armor is especially the visible in competitive clan battles (advances and games of the sort) where you'd, in most cases, much rather use other heavy tanks. Currently it feels like it's a 'heavier' medium tank with a indestructible turret but way worse DPM / gun handling and in a lot of situations to little gun depression to compensate for it's missing strength(s).   (Proposal 1) Regardless of the gun rebalance I feel like the IS-7 needs better frontal hull armor and some health to go with it. However (Proposal 2), If you want to maintain the 'pure' IS-7 feeling as it is now (rushing to hull down spots), atleast give it more gun depression and slightly better hull armor so you can use the gun when poking over the hill, instead of being able to aim it in the air only and getting your front and sides penetrated by almost every tank that does have a bit of decent gun depression.   I hope some other players will correct me where I am lacking the experience but I hope this a first step towards a more viable IS-7 in clan battles and more competitive random battles.   Kind regards.
