bIaS-2

The bIaS-2 is a play on the words bias and the Soviet Heavy tank, the IS-2. Referenced in the game War Thunder, it strikes fear into the hearts of wehraboos and freeaboos alike, penetrating the armor of most tanks you throw at it. With its 122mm cannon and sloped, thick armor made of pure Stalinium, sprinkled with a little bit of Russian Bias , its no surprise that Stalin won WWII with them, just like the T-34.
Me: "So what tank do you want to take out next?"
Friend: "idk maybe something Russian?'
Me: "Maybe... the bIaS-2?!"
Friend: "Hell yeah!"
