As a prelude to the post-war concept of a single "main battle tank" design, vehicles during World War II tended to be categorized as light, medium, and heavy, depending on their use. This resulted in changes in tactics and doctrine to better integrate heavy armor into a combined arms system. In this last category, tanks had grown in size, weight, and firepower to counter ever-improving anti-tank weapon systems.
The Soviets were quick to develop vehicles that were able to fight the Tiger I on an equal footing by late 1943, such as the up-gunned T-34/85 and the self-propelled ISU-152s. This was especially true on the Eastern Front, where the open terrain promoted armor action and a rapid cycle of improvements. Because the American T-26/M-26 Pershing arrived late in the war, and the British Centurion not at all, only the Soviet IS-2 serves as an example of a heavy design that was fielded
