DESCRIPTION
ISU-152 — a heavy 152-mm self-propelled artillery mount, created on the basis of the IS-2 tank in 1943. The decision to develop and produce it was made after the cessation of production of the KV-1S tanks, which had been used as the base for the heavy SU-152 SPG.

Shells:
If it very specifically is supposed to be a response to the Ferdinand for the USSR it can’t have an MG. If it gets an MG why not add the Elephant as a response to this?
What 2 premium TDs? There’s only the Jagdpanzer on BR5 as a TD. And again it’s Event and Premium equipment doesn’t follow the exact same rules as TT because there can never be the same amount of it.
The ISU-152 is a very poor response to the Ferdinand. Its armour is very poor for BR5 and, despite how impressive its 152mm gun looks, it’s actually significantly worse than the 122mm against tanks. While the cannon’s large calibre does mean that it has a powerful HE shell, it’s not actually any more powerful than the short barrel 152mms sitting on vehicles at a lower BR. The ISU’s cannon doesn’t shoot any faster than them either.
