ISU-152 Tank Destroyer Chinese PLA Artillery Regiment
HG7021
General Background
The ISU-152 was a Soviet Self-Propelled gun produced in 1943 and nicknamed “Zverboy (The Beast)”. It had no turret making it necessary to maneuver the entire tank. One of the best uses for it was as a Tank Destroyer waiting to ambush German vehicles. The ISU-152 was also used in fire support as long as it was accompanied by heavily armored vehicles. The BL-10 main gun wasn’t always accurate and slow to aim but it did cause terrific damage if its shell hit the target.
