Russian SU-152

The SU-152 was basically a howitzer on a tank chassis. It was designed to provide close in arty support for infantry, not to fight tanks. That's why you only have HE rounds for it. It is really a powerful weapon if used correctly.

If you do a google search for SU-152s there are stories that claim that SU-152s were used in battles against German Tigers. One source claims that an SU-152 blew the turrets off Tigers in battle. I guess this is BS?

See my posting there re APCalc, (A useful utility we provide with the game), 152mm AP and tigers.

If you want AP from the SU-152 then buy the version with some AP ammo. If all you require is HE, then the all-HE loadout.
