Why are the most Russian tanks OP?

So, few points. The IS-3 isn't even the same Tier as the Tiger, so if the IS-3 is faster than the Tiger it is faster than the King tiger (which is slower than Tiger).
Hence why I listed both. but wanted to give more comparisons higher speed yes but its not much of a boost due to the time it takes to get there.
German tanks hit their max speeds quicker, and keep them long than the Russian counterparts (this is true for all the "tanks/tds" in the game) whereas the soviet tanks get a higher top-end.
This said, the Soviet tanks turret speeds are "faster" and they generally turn better than the German ones. Note, it is easy to circle the Maus in a -Tiger- (it's actually pretty funny), but if you try that against a IS-3,4, or 7 you are dead meat. Which, in the end. most Soviet tanks can run circles around the "crawl" that is the German Turret traverse....
Actually I think if ya check the stat lines the Turret and hull traverse is higher on germans, They are in game up to the Maus also you must be in a field or postioned badly to allow the room it takes a IS-3 to do a loop around you. Last time I looked the IS-7 was even slower then most german heavies /color]
As for the KV-3 against the Vk3601(H) in a one on one fight, -anywhere- that is not a wide open field.. the Vk3601 is screwed, and there's only one to two maps where "open" field fights even occur, which is why the KV-3 has the marked Advantage, both in HP and armor. Not to mention if the KV tracks the Vk3601, it's dead VK3601. I mean, anything the Vk3601 can do to "slow" the KV-3 down, the KV-3 can do as well. If it is equal skilled opponents, Kv-3 is a more durable tank and this is the reason it will beat down the VK3601(H).
Actually non open fields are my preferred place to take down a KV-3 restrict its lanes of fire make to do long traverse from multiple sides ect wait to get hidden again and attack at new angles use the speed and terrain to you advantage
Also got the frontal armor info on the IS-3?
