The angling of the front hull bounces shots best from a direct line from the enemy's gun or with a very slight angle, and is only very reliable against tanks lower than tier 8.

Use the IS-8's mobility to move in quickly around corners or other tanks to hit targets and back away quickly.

Take care to avoid taking fire from other tier 9 and 10 tanks, as even mediums can easily penetrate and damage the IS-8.

Mediocre HP compared to other tier 9 heavy tanks.

Large lower glacis is easily penetrated.

Can't reach the top speed on flat ground.

Turret armor is weak on both sides and rear.Sloped armor gives the IS-8 an increased chance of ricocheting shots.Powerful 122mm gun with more damage and faster reload than the earlier guns.The best mobility of any tier 9 heavy tank in World of Tanks Blitz.Using the IS-8's speed to avoid damage and pick on other heavies makes this tank an extremely formidable opponent. The top gun, however, has enough penetration to easily take on other tier 9 and 10 heavy tanks, and does a lot of damage with a quicker reload than the IS-3's BL-9 gun. The turret is very hard to penetrate and the center of the front hull is capable of bouncing shots from the direct front, but shots from other tier 9s will often go straight through. The front armor is slightly increased in thickness compared to IS-3, but it is far less effective in the front due to the worsened angles and increased height of the tank, and the side and rear armor are decreased.

It drives more like a 'super medium' than a heavy. The IS-8 is a departure from its 'parent', the IS-3, as instead of being a hands-on assault tank, the IS-8 is a 'softer' but faster heavy tank, comparable to the IS.
