It hardcounters absolutely everything except elefant... what other unit has only one weakness?

The ISU-152 might as well be considered the soviet version of the Tiger ace.

Have they given it medium like mobility then? Last time I checked its still pretty slow and can be flanked easily.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
