How to play

Since the ISU-152 has rather powerful guns with thin armor and poor maneuverability, this tank destroyer can support the attack of allied tanks from medium and long range, or set up ambushes at the base and on open flanks with artillery support.

However, it would be a mistake to stand the whole fight in the distant bushes and wait for your " finest hour". If targets do not appear, you should consider the possibility of switching to melee.

But here special care is needed: you should not go for direct fire immediately after the projectile is loaded. You have to have patience.

For survival and greater overall benefit in battle, you should guess when the enemy will be reloading and only then leave from behind the backs of comrades or from behind cover.

Only in this case, the "cardboard" ISU will live for a long time and inflict on the opposing team catastrophic damage, incompatible with victory.

When playing on the ISU-152, you should make it a rule to deal damage to the most armored targets, which may be too tough for your allies. Sometimes you should not be greedy and leave a frag with 100-200 hp to allies in order to deal full damage of 700 or even 900 hp on more healthy tanks.

ISU-152, which chases a frag with 100 hp, is worse than LT in terms of actual damage. Competent fighters on the ISU-152 inflict an average of 2-2.5 thousand damage per battle. Medium tanks and artillery pose a great danger.

The former will try to spin the ISU, and the latter, when the tank destroyers are illuminated, will shoot at it. In close combat, in the city, the ISU needs cover, as the armor is too weak.

Due to the length of the hull, small houses and shelters are not suitable for defense against artillery and tanks

Gun selection

Even though this aspect is almost the most obvious, it is still worth saying a few words about the two top guns of this tank. As it usually happens, the top vehicle is equipped with 2 guns that are completely opposite in style of play.

One is famous for its armor penetration and damage, while the other is famous for its accuracy and rate of fire. So which gun is more suitable for the ISU-152? It is worth referring to performance characteristics this self-propelled gun and determine which gun is preferable.

The ISU has a long and high silhouette, which suggests a lack of agility and a large mass. From this it is worth concluding that the style of play suits her only ambush and no more. It is possible to act aggressively on ISU, but it is difficult.

As a result, this AT requires a weapon that can penetrate opponents at long and medium range and inflict big damage. Such a weapon is the BL-10, which is the unconditional choice of all players. And this is logical.

However, the BL-9S gun on the ISU is available for a reason. It has a good rate of fire, exceeding the BL-10 by 2 times, good accuracy and aiming speed. Such guns are usually mounted on mobile anti-tank guns, such as French ones or an alternative branch of the Soviet ones.

But not bad maximum speed with proper luck, they will allow you to take a position from where the ISU will distribute damage quickly and accurately to enemies, implementing the BL-9S DPM. But such tactics are very doubtful in the modern realities of the game, so the choice of BL-10 is obvious and logical.

Advantages

• High damage per shot;
• High penetration;
• Sturdy gun mask

Flaws

• Long cooldown
• Weak booking;
• Small maximum speed;
• Poor agility

Outcome

Since the ISU-152 has a fairly powerful gun with thin armor and poor maneuverability, the main use of this tank destroyer is bush ambush and shooting at other people's light. You can support the attack of allied tanks from medium and long range or defend the base.

Historical reference

ISU-152 (Object 241) - Soviet heavy self-propelled artillery mount(SAU). The abbreviation ISU means " self-propelled unit based on the IS tank" or "IS installation"; the letter "I" was required to distinguish it from self-propelled guns of the same caliber SU-152 on another tank base. Index 152 means the caliber of the main armament of the vehicle.

Developed in June - October 1943 and put into service on November 6 of the same year. Serial production continued until 1946. ISU-152 were widely used at the final stage of the Great Patriotic War in almost all aspects of the use of self-propelled artillery.

The slang name for the ISU-152 is "St. John's wort". In the Wehrmacht, it was called "Dosenöffner" (German for "can opener").

Actually there is choice of two guns: BL-9S and BL-10. Formally, they differ in levels, but it should be said that the level of modules in c means little. This is just a formality, so you should not make a choice based on it. Most players go for the BL-10, but the BL-9S has several notable advantages (better accuracy, aiming speed, and ), so there really is a choice. It cannot be said that the BL-10 was better in everything.

What else is good about the BL-10 gun?

It is important to understand here that the choice of a tool must be made based not only on its characteristics, but also with an eye on the machine on which it is installed. The ISU-152 is a slow and cardboard tank destroyer, one of the main advantages of which is excellent camouflage. If you stand in the bushes, then you may not be noticed even from a distance of 100 meters.

History of creation:

ISU-152 ( Object 241) - Soviet heavy self-propelled artillery installation (ACS) of the period of the Great Patriotic War. In the name of the machine, the abbreviation ISU means "self-propelled installation based on the IS tank" or "IS installation"; the letter "I" in addition to the standard Soviet designation "SU" for military equipment of this class was required to distinguish it from self-propelled guns of the same caliber SU-152 on another tank base. Index 152 means the caliber of the main armament of the vehicle. Developed by the design bureau of experimental plant No. 100 in June - October 1943 and adopted by the Workers 'and Peasants' Red Army (RKKA) on November 6 of the same year. At the same time, its mass production began at the Chelyabinsk Kirov Plant (ChKZ), which continued until 1946. Several cars of this brand were produced in 1945 by the Leningrad Kirov Plant (LKZ). ISU-152s were widely used at the final stage of the Great Patriotic War in almost all aspects of the use of self-propelled artillery.

Profitability:
With a top-end cannon, a tank may well pay for itself even without a premium. To do this, you need to do 4-5 penetrations per battle. With a premium, we will be able to earn not that much, but for level 8 it’s pretty decent, due to the high damage values ​​​​per battle. In numbers, it will be 15,000-30,000 credits.
Tank pros:
+ Crazy gun. The parameters of damage and armor penetration are simply off scale and allow you to play decently, including against 10 levels.
+ Sufficiently strong mask
Tank cons:
- weak booking
- Mobility Below average mobility, slow turning in place
- low accuracy
- mysterious non-penetration / harp / ricochets

Visibility
Equipment:

Since we are PT, which means we will play from the bushes, it means that we need to strengthen our disguise, therefore, we need a camouflage net. Moreover, our cannon with a muzzle brake unmasks us great. I don’t see the need for an additional review (and many do, so you can think about it yourself), so I advise you to strengthen our firepower by means of a rammer and aiming drives. Depending on the playing style, you can install ventilation or a stereo tube. My choice:
- Camouflage net
- Reinforced pickup drives
- Large caliber gun rammer
Crew upgrade:
Here, personally, I consider pumping a standard solution:
1. light bulb/rest disguise
2. The Brotherhood of War
3. Disguise / virtuoso / sniper / repair / repair

Equipment:
Standard set: first aid kit, rem. kit, fire extinguisher.
Tactics:
We don't really care what part of the list we are on. There is no special tactic for ISU, the usual PT tactic. We use an ambush type of battle, or support from the second line. In addition, we can also attack in battles of level 8-9, where we need 1-2 shots on the target, and we can catch the damage with a mask. Our gun gives us a huge advantage due to the high alpha, you can play from this.
Separately, it is worth mentioning only the choice of the goal. Getting 100-200 hp at the moment when there are allies with smaller, but frequent damage is something that should not be done. However, at the same time, you should not disdain to finish off if there is no one else to do it. You should choose heavily armored targets first, as many of your allies may not be able to handle them.
About the gun. Some players believe that it is more profitable to bet BL-9 instead of BL-10. I think that it is not worth even thinking about it, because the whole point of this PT is lost.

Summarizing the above, I can say that this is the tank on which you can get high from your own firepower. Having that kind of damage at level 8 is just a dream. And yes, I personally consider the ISU-152 to be somewhat immature, which means it is beloved by those tankers whose arms grow from their shoulders and end with palms.

Well, to top it off, "Master":

ISU-152 is a self-propelled artillery mount that replaced the St. John's wort SU-152 and inherited this nickname. ISU-152 was made on the basis of the IS heavy tank, and incorporated best features SU-152. They tried to get rid of shortcomings, such as excessive gas contamination of the felling, and it was possible to achieve improvements, however, it was not possible to get rid of some shortcomings.

Generally, ISU-152 proved to be reliable fighting machine and was respected in the army.

ISU-152 with BL-10 gun

Unlike its predecessor, on the ISU-152 there is a pronounced top gun - BL-10. Perhaps this is the most famous gun in World of tanks, which a few years ago was the most powerful weapon on tanks and tank destroyers. With the introduction of tank destroyers of the 10th level, the situation changed and more lethal guns appeared, but BL-10 remains a formidable weapon.

The popularity of the BL-10 in WoT is explained not only by its huge damage (from 563 to 938 HP), but also by its ambiguous behavior, mediocre accuracy sometimes causes fits of anger among ISU-152 owners. There may be a series of hits in the masks of guns and non-penetration, ricochets from light tanks and other surprises. But still, surprises often await your rivals, and unpleasant ones. Hit from BL-10 makes many opponents move backwards.

You need to get used to the BL-10 gun, as a result you will be able to accurately take lead and hit even fast fireflies.

It is worth carrying several sub-caliber shells in the ammunition load, to counter well-armored tanks, and several high-explosive ones, to destroy weakly armored vehicles, with a full penetration, you can inflict more than 900 points of damage with a high-explosive, for example, a weakly armored tank destroyer Waffenträger auf E 100.

When playing the ISU-152 in World of tanks, you should remember that when you fire, you are likely to be detected, so think over the retreat routes in advance.

ISU-152 with BL-10 gun can act as support heavy tanks acting on the third line of attack, or as a defensive emplacement. When playing on the ISU-152, beware of artillery, even one hit on the ISU-152 can be fatal.

Some players prefer play ISU-152 with BL-9S gun, it has less one-time damage than the BL-10, but reloads faster, while the BL-9S is more accurate, but the BL-9S has less armor penetration with the main projectile. If you don't like playing the ISU-152 with the BL-10 gun, then try installing the BL-9S.

How to upgrade ISU-152

First of all, it is worth exploring the chassis, which will allow you to install more heavy gun, then the BL-10 cannon, which will transform the ISU-12 into World of tanks, then we study and install the engine.

Characteristics of the ISU-152 V top configuration shown in the figure below.

What equipment to install on the ISU-152

On the ISU-152 it is worth installing rammer, to reduce reload time, reinforced pickup drives, because the BL-10 gun is inaccurate and you need to wait for full information, in the third slot you can install fan if you prefer to work in someone else's light or stereo tube, if you play by your own light, although the ISU-152 is not the best car for this tactic.

To successfully play the ISU-152, you need to use the power of the BL-10 gun as efficiently as possible, this is the main trump card of the Soviet tank destroyer of the eighth level.

This article is a review about a Soviet self-propelled artillery mount based on the IS tank. In the development branch of the USSR, this tank destroyer occupies the honorary 8th level.

Like most tank destroyers, ISU-152 has its own characteristics of the game. Let's start with one very important aspect. With a full study, it becomes possible to install a 152 mm BL-10 gun. The cannon is the most powerful at the eighth level in terms of damage and penetration. It is thanks to its gun that the ISU-152 can deal good damage to enemies, even well-armored ones. For a shot from this gun, we can "shoot" 700-900 hp. Having such damage, you should not chase after wounded animals that can be finished off by allies, it is worth shooting at tanks, their health reserve is still large.
