It hardcounters absolutely everything except elefant... what other unit has only one weakness?
Have they given it medium like mobility then? Last time I checked its still pretty slow and can be flanked easily.

The ISU-152 might as well be considered the soviet version of the Tiger ace.
shhh the soviets have never had one of those.

No, but an AT gun at each side of it makes it impossible to flank. I have no problem with the ISU, but it is now going to be whined about as much as the elefant.

then you take out the AT guns with whatever suits you best from the numerous possibilities (sniper, arty, infantry flank) and after that you take on the isu.

I haven't faced the ISU this patch, but from using the ISU myself last patch it's very difficult to take out AT guns with infantry considering each shot is a squad that has to retreat or a squad lost. Panzerwerfers don't do much at max range, and I've killed many panzerwerfers with ground attack when they get closer to barrage.

If you're going to buff its health and rear armor, it can't be this good at AT and AI. It feels way too strong in every respect. I think it needs less penetration, a tad less health, but keep more of the rear armor so one flank doesn't mean GG. If it's going to be this good at anti-inf, it should perhaps be more likely to do some kind of critical to tanks that obliterates the crew for a bit rather than wrecking the tank's health (but you could reman or have it automatically remanned after some period, as that's in keeping with what it did to tanks in real life). I think an ISU-152 should fall to a PZIV/Tiger flank given the costs, but right now with a T34 in support, or basically any other AT unit, that's not going to happen with even a modicum of micro, especially if you use mark target.
Replay?

I would say it is better than the elephant atm. Not better then the original and the 2nd versions of TA, that guy was way op.. It is kill-able with flanking though.
2 at / mines at flanks and its a lot harder. Also, it range is sick for squadwipes. I think it almost covered the width of Minsk when it stands in the middle.
I think it is a bit too powerful, but I need some more games to really give a decent opinion.

Any infantry within vision range simply melts away. Snipers and PGrens don't work very well because they end up getting sniped and they're very costly on manpower. Panzerwerfers can slowly pick away at surrounding defenses, but I've had them one-shotted. Be really careful about is range, because the ISU always seems to have more range than you thought.
Things that kill it:
- Panthers (2), preferably with smoke for clean getaways
- Elefant
- Panzerwerfers
So... TL;DR ISU 152 strong.

It can't be an ANTI ALL unit.

Isu 152 should have a switch between HE rounds and High penetration rounds. And a timer for changing it.
It can't be an ANTI ALL unit.
interesting idea, if it remains like this powerful, that can be a solution.

Ahhh, let the german fanboy whining begin! German players must understand that they have to adapt and flank now, this was told everyone complaining about last patch balance, so I will tell this now, too . You can easily destroy the ISU with an elefant... Sovjets will have many problems countering your Elefant.
lol u are enjoying this
I just destroyed an elephant with my vet 2 isu and mark vehicle and button
