When introduced, far in advance of any other large tank. Used in assault support. Has lack of
mobility and firepower. Problems with transmission. Forerunner of famous JS III super tank.
Good torsion
bar suspension system with steel rimmed bogies. Lack of commander's cupola and
complex sighting system which hampered fast accurate shooting were
negatives. In 1942 relegated to infantry support.
