So far I haven't been very impressed with the results I have obtained with the big ISU/SU guns against dug-in infantry, maybe that has something to do with the limited crew experience. They certainly tend to keep those defenders pinned, but I tend to find that they are more effective against enemy that is not dug in - such as those taking cover in woods and buildings in advance/delay scenarios.
Against bunkers the 152 mm AP round tends to be very bad news, if it manages to score a hit - easiest done by driving close by (if the engineers have managed to clear mines under smoke cover) and then opening fire on next turn when the assault gun is no longer moving.
