But ISU need that range (just lower accuracy) cause of schrecks. Just imagine situation.
There is Elephant with 2 PGrens squads. I have 4 T34/85. I want to flank Elephant. Focus all power on it. I may kill it but that's not certain. Meanwhile PGrens will blow up my T34/85s.
Simple question, how to get close to Elephant if it's cover by PGrens with Schrecks.

I have ISU and 2 Guards squads. You want to flank it with Panthers.
All I can do is make you Panthers blind (of course if I have enough ammo). Meanwhile ISU will rotate shoot once,
blindness is gone, and you can flank it and finish. You even don't bother with Guards cause their damage is a joke.
I know there can be ZiSs, TM35 etc. but these are the simplest situations.
What I mean is Soviets need something that can wipe germans inf from distance. Otherwise we even cant get close (unless there is noob player which left elephant alone and turns back to my T34/85, just like today
)
