 Yes! Back onto the topic! :)
 the ISU152 should be an extra powerful, extra-armored
 STUH42 :) Except with HE properties, in the case of a direct
 hit? Longer range, but slower reload :)

 As for the name 'Juggernaut' it means 'Can't be stopped'
 'Dreadnaught' is 'fears nothing' :)
 Naut/naught = Not.

 Plenty of built in names for it, but they're longer.
 It's supposed to be a nickname, not a whole resume :)

Dreadnought (Дредноут) and Juggernaut (Джаггернаут) don't translate to Russian and are associated with British ships.
P.S. Juggernaut - from jagannātha - Lord of the Universe

 Juggernaut - Lord of the universe, eh? :)

 Okay, so I guess it's like all-powerful or something.
 King Tiger, perhaps ;) But, ISU152? Is it appropriate?

The reason I suggested the name change is, as artemis mentioned, Juggernaut does not translate into Russian.

We've all heard of the badass German tanks: The tigers, panthers, and pumas - well the ISU 152 is the badass that hunts badasses - the 'Animal Hunter' or Zveroboy.

Good argument, plus I like the idea of having an actual Russian Name. Call it the Zveroboy and put 'Animal Hunter' in the description

 Oh, I completely agree that it ate german tanks for
 breakfast. But, ah, in a more artillery-way, which was
 it's other (main function). I think it should function more
 as a long-ranged StuH, with a long CD. Like 30 sec?
 But who has a V1 blast that automatically annihilates
 all and any german armor touched by it's blast. Infantry
 too. And mines, especially. So we can count it as a
 minesweeper :)

Zver' - Beast.
Zhivotnoe - Animal.
bit' - beat.
ubivat' - kill.
Zveroboy - "Beastkiller" (Hypericum)
The book "The Deerslayer, or The First Warpath" - "Zveroboy ili Pervoya tropa voyni"
So
Zveroboy - "Beastslayer"

 hehe, I love StuH myself, specially after Relic changed
 them :) (Check out the old one they worked in the old
 single play free demo)

 But, the ISU152 would be different, see.
 Having like +30% range and doing perhaps +50% more
 damage (and it being AP as well as HE) but having slower
 reload, and being unique.

 Would have a totally unique taste :)
 Something between priest and SPG/AT rolled into one :)
 Like it historicall was :D

 (Although its range was 13 miles, but...)

 Wouldn't be balanced :)
 It'd be awesome if could use it as an Priest105/JP/AVRE
 combo. (with a munition cost and a slowass reload time
 and AP/HE combined)... Heck, the AP/HE buttons *ARE*
 already in-game. Look at the tiger campaign. Also, the
 Afrika Korps mod uses 'em successfully :)

 I'd say about the range of the Flak88.
 With about double the punch.
 But 3x the reload time, or something.

This is doable, but only if its a one time call in unit (like the king tiger) and if the arty is not all that accurate and only fires a few shells.

 It is a KT. Or a Tiger. It's top of a Doctrine Tree, and is
 one only at a time. Not sure if it's a 1 time only (dies, and
 bye bye) but don't think so. I mean, KV2 is rarer than this
 puppy. They even went around in packs of 5 or so... ;)

 I was thinking something alike the AVRE. But slower
 reload, costing more, firing further and having HE/AP
 simultaneous effects (or having option to switch modes)
 (NOW THAT would be sweet).

 The buttons are already in the game.
 THAT would bring something to the game :)
 Beast hunter allright. Perfect to flush out Germans :)
