Shurek and I are proud to present the latest addition to the Red Orchestra arsenal, the ISU-152.
The ISU was a Soviet heavy self-propelled gun which was used in three capacities: heavy assault gun, tank destroyer and self-propelled howitzer. The 152.4-mm ML-20S gun-howitzer used a powerful OF-540 high-explosive shell, with an overall weight of 43.56 kg and containing nearly 6 kg of TNT. These projectiles were effective against both unprotected infantry and fortifications such as pillboxes and trenches; ISU’s were highly effective in urban combat operations such as the assaults on Berlin, Budapest and Konigsberg. The ISU-152 was also a successful tank destroyer; inheriting the nickname Zveroboy ("animal killer") from its predecessor the SU-152. [1]
While the ISU-152 carries a very powerful gun, its main weakness are a slow reload time and lack of anti-infantry machine guns.
The ISU will be making its combat debut on SchutzeSepp's Pariserplatz Beta 3 map in an Assault Gun/Tank Destroyer capacity. The Berlin version of the ISU features the prominent white stripe painted across it's superstructure, a typical marking of Soviet tanks participating in the Berlin siege. Here are some screenshots of the ISU in action on Pariserplatz.
