I use modstudio and check the data of IS3, then I found a...say, a mistake about IS-3
The HP of IS-3 is 1250(In comparison, tiger I is 1064 and kingtiger is 2000) and the damage of D25(IS-3's cannon) is 165(in comparison, tiger I is 137.5 and kingtiger is 165)

what I want to say is, I think IS-3's armor should be at least as good as kingtiger, but its main cannon damage shouldn't be that much as actually D25 is howitzer, not at-gun
so, it would be more fair if IS-3's HP is 2000(equar to kingtiger) and cannon damage is between 137.5 and 165(say, 145?150?) which is better that tiger I but worse than tiger II

That's not an error that you found there. It is indeeded mainly because of balance reasons (we aren't that accurate when it comes to Realism).

I understand...but I think increase the HP of IS3 while decrease its damage won't affect balance that much? IS3 is a one-time unit like kingtiger, and now it just haas the same HP as later but damage is lowewr, I think it's still Wehrmacht which you may need to concern about balance...

anyway, EF is an awesome mod...I love it more that more than any mods else, it's just a suggestion...you guys have done a wonderful job!
