i do not believe that "The unsupported ISU stayed stationary "

but with a microed ISU152 and some sight u can easy kill a KT without getting any damage at all because of the firefly range
True, but honestly, how many Soviet tanks have firefly range, or any range bigger then 40 for that matter? Main problem here is not ISU but vanilla tanks, Tiger/King Tiger and Jagdpanther NEED bigger range, I hope Ostheer tanks will correct this, so at least Elephants will have a respectable range and better chance to counter spam.
As dogfighter778 said - there is always a way to trap a "beast"

The ISU 152 is not op.

It is an end game tank that cost 1000 mp and it is similar to the tiger.

A few points :

-It is very powerful
-It has a good front armor
BUT
-Very very slow
-Infantery can kill it easily by flanking it and if it is alone, it always dies before being able to get out.
-Has a very very bad rate of fire : 15 seconds! If you decrease its power, you have to increase its rate of fire or it becomes useless. It is actually not really useful right now.

It is more a support tank, this means that if he only has a ISU 152 don't worry but if he has many tanks and an ISU and you have nothing this don't mean that the ISU 152 is op but that you did shit before. Remember that it is an end game tank that cost 1000mp.
In 1vs1, any tank kill it even a panzer IV so I repeat it : it is a support tank. 

The flak comes in mid game. The only way to make the flak owning the ISU 152 is to have a spotter (then you see this tank coming at 1km/h) the canon will have the time to kill it. Moreover support your flak with paks extremely useful. And if you are PE, get marders.

Half of the posts I read on this Balance part are about ISU-152...
Everyone seams to have a problem with that tank - like they put Abrams in ww2 !?
As Iglooman said, ISU-152 is everything except superior,
and this is the last I`ll say about this.
