It all suggests, that OT-90 should have turret armour 2/1/1 in the game, and there is no confirmation, if better armoured variant M2 existed in any significant number. A Polish article from the 1990s claimed, that all were modified this way - but this was apparently too optimistic...

Right, they were combined from surplus BVP-1 (BMP-1) and withdrawn SKOTs.

As for IS-2 - right, I haven't looked far enough in the oob at that stage to discover it.
