The ISU-152 heavy, self-propelled artillery piece entered service with the Red Army on November 6, 1943. In comparison to the former SU-152, it boasted better armor, a more reliable IS-1 tank chassis, and a great effective range of its on-board howitzer. However, the separate loading system had negative effect on the tank's rate of fire, thus degrading to its capabilities in a tank-to-tank combat. As a result large-caliber HE rounds fired by the ISU-152 were mainly used to demolish fortifications and support advancing infantry. To protect the vehicle from close-range attack, it was equipped with a top-mounted large-caliber DShK machine gun.
