Editing ISU-122/ISU-152 (section)

==In Real Life==
The ISU-122 and ISU-152s were assault guns based on the IS chassis, replacing earlier types based on the KV chassis. They were armed with massive guns meant for bunker busting, but were found to also be effective against German tanks, the explosive force of the shells able to shatter the by then poor quality German steel. This power earned the ISU-152 the moniker of "Beast Killer". Of course, these fantastic properties had major tradeoffs, the lack of turret made aiming awkward, and the large guns were slow to reload taking around 20 to 30 seconds, which is why it ultimately was mostly used to destroy forts and support infantry. Like other prolific Soviet designs, they were upgraded and sold to friendly powers like Eygpt, which used them in their wars against Israel, or Iraq, who used them even in the Gulf Wars.
