ISU-152
« on: January 26, 2010, 10:51:36 PM »
It appears to be a super jadgpanther with tiger tank mobilty. when properly supported its unstoppabe but when left alone its little more than an expensive stug. my point is I think we should have a strategy page just for this kill weapon I mean come it can destroy a tiger tank in 4 hits :D

the best way ive found to kill it is to ambush it. try luring it away from the main battle with an expenseve unit (a tiger, KT, a few panthers) while holding up the rest of the soviet force, get it isolated and then hit it from the sides and rear with camo AT or stormtroopers with Panzer schreck, make him think hes winning and them crush him.

Two well played Panthers are deadly for the ISU-152. Try to circle it with your faster Panthers. The tank will be at the disadvantage, on account of his slow and dull mobility.

This beast is slow but dangerous. I witness  one quite successful tactic where a a friend of mine, PE commander, put upgraded tank buster squad in a halftrack and used a scout car to tease ISU between buildings until halftrack came from behind and simply cruse while Schrecks did their job (quite well might I add). the ISU tried to turn but not for a second did he had the halftrack in sights and some inf. sent to support the ISU was quickly disposed by a halftrack - mortar... It was well played but the point is, speed is the greatest ally against any heavy uber-tank. Use it to your advantage!

 It's like an uber but flawed KT. Support it the same way :)
You know, there are many people in the country today who, through no fault of their own, are sane. Some of them were born sane. Some of them became sane later in their lives. It is up to people like you and me who are out of our tiny little minds to try and help these people overcome their sanity

2 vehicles to nullify an ISU-152:
ATHT + treabreaker and 1 marder

works also against an IS-2 because the marder has a higher range than the IS-2

Whoever says the ISU-152 is a good tank, has no idea what they are talking about ^-^

It has no turret, its extremely slow, it fires like once a day, and its easily flanked, circle strafed and destroyed. It's nothing more than a huge waste of 1000MP against good players.

Look, the ISU-152 is effective against tanks and buildings. So either upgrade a Grenadier squad with two Panzershreck or go become the tank destroyer with the PE. The ISU-152 is no match for the power of the Jadgpanther, which is faster, and can be veted to have triple armor or triple attack.
No one can stop the German panzer divisions.

Just like the KT it needs a lot of support! But it can be devastating.

My favourite tactic against human players anyway is somewhat phsycological. Lure it in and isolate it then swarm in with anything you have, circle and hit it with tanks. The player will usually panic and withdraw it and without a turret you can chase and hit in the behind.
