You neglect to mention its range though, which is really its best feature. It can outrange almost anything.

I agree it's pretty easy to chase them down with blitz or pumas or whatever though, if you manage to get close enough.

Everything there except the pak has no business engaging an IS-2 frontally.

Let's get real here, that's like me complaining a T-34 can't pen a KT.

All of the anecdotal video evidence in this thread is useless. We KNOW the actual values of the armor, and the values of accuracy and penetration of AT weapons. Videos of unlucky RNG RNG add nothing to what we already know. Balance should also not be made on videos of unlucky RNG rolls.

I just read the ISU52 wiki entry for some reference.
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISU-152
Its a great introduction to the historical equivalent, with some very cool and specific references to tactics involved in it. Unusually much so, compared to many other wiki entries Ive read, as inspired to do so by CoH2.

Ironically, from my reading of the wiki, it performs ingame just about exactly how I envisage it IRL.

It truly was an awesome piece of armor IRL, that excellently filled many roles, but for purposes of this game, the line has to be drawn somewhere.
