Of the ones you amaged/killed, there was no one that could have caused you much trouble.
Actually many could have, the IS8 has crap armour, but great speed, and slopes. Angle well, and your good, if not your doomed.
Angling a tank with a pike nose.. ooookay.
And no, you didn't get the point, it ins't about what can damage you, but what you can't damage. Regardless, you shot mostly tanks that were lower than you but for the british one that have no armor anyway.

I get what your saying. But the IS8 can pen any tank in game. It has the same gun as the IS4. The only draw back with IS8 is low armour, and HPs if against other 9's, and 10s. But proper angles, and moving alot can solve that issue. I am not by far saying IS8 is a good tank, I will take my E75 over it any day of the week, and even my M103. But it has a great gun, and does great damage. 268 pen, and 440 damage with reg ammo, and a wopping 400 pen 440 damage if you load gold ammo. How is that and under rated gun? http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x238/..._014-6.jpg
I owned the is8 and the is4 both for a long time, i never said it's an under rate gun, but against a E75 your armor, we agree, won't do much, and the e75 could still randomly bounce some shots ( i am assuming you aren't using gold, even tho i know you do), the speed on the is8 is relevant only for reaching the keypoints on the map sooner, but not to run around another heavy or actually dodge stuff, and of course it lacks the agility to dodge properly.

True i use gold on a few tanks. Like my KV5/M4/Type 59 but not on IS8. Do not need it. I do not use gold ammo on any tank with a 220pen or greater. All tanks have weak spots for those. M4 is just to much fun with gold 105, and KV5 really needs gold ammo against most 8's, and 9's it faces.
IS8 vs a E75 can win, it all depends on the situation. Peek-a-boo? nope. Long range sniping? Nope. But if you get in the side or rear? NP. Side hug? NP E75 will only hit turret,IS8 can hit sides. So all tanks have goods, and bads.
Every tank can Ryoken, but you seems to keep missing my point, you claimed even the is8 can rule the map if played properly, i am objecting none of the enemy team was a real threat to your tank.
Also, you should really suck to not being able to damage something with 270mm penetration.
