Advantages:

Awesome 152mm gun with massive alpha damage capable of 1-shotting even some Tier 7; premium HEAT shell has overkilling penetr
122mm D-25S hits reasonably hard and has great firing rate
Large gun mantlet with weird armor scheme can bounce some hits
Acceptable top speed allows for some repositioning
Unmatched fear factor especially when top tier, due to its high power weapon and good camo in stationary

Disadvantages:

Mostly irrelevant armor, usually can only fend off up to mid-calibre HE shells
122mm guns have mediocre to subpar penetration and their accuracy barely qualify as sniping guns
152 mm ML-20 mod. 1931/37 is pretty inconsistent, has slow reload and pointless default AP shell; can be frustrating
Very tight interior space leads to frequent vital module/crew damage
Reputation. Because of the huge gun, teammates might over-evaluate your capability and leave you in danger of being swarmed

Tank description:

The SU-152 is a Soviet tier 7 tank destroyer.Development of a tank destroyer on the basis of the KV-1S heavy tank began on January 4, 1943. The vehicle received the designation KV-14 (Object 236). A prototype underwent field trials at the beginning of February 1943 and entered service on February 14, 1943. In April, the KV-14 was renamed SU-152. By December 1943, 670 vehicles were manufactured. Thanks to its ability to successfully combat german Tiger I and Panther tanks, the SU-152 was dubbed "Hunter" by the troops.While having a very powerful gun and based on the KV-1S chassis, the SU-152 has relatively weak armor for a tank destroyer. On top of that, it has low speed and maneuverability. Most tanks you face will have no problems piercing the frontal armor, so it is best to use the low profile of this tank and remain at range to make yourself a much smaller target. The SU-152 initially mounts a 152mm gun. This gun should use mostly HE rounds since its AP rounds can''t penetrate most heavy tanks'' frontal armor or snipe weak spots with its poor accuracy. For sniping, use the upgraded 122mm series gun. The upgraded 122mm gun has decent penetration for its tier, good damage and very high rate of fire for such a large weapon. Beware, the tank doesn''t carry much ammo, so for trigger happy folks, consider yourselves warned. However, some people prefer to play with the stock 152mm which can hurt any tank you face and has the advantage of increased module damage, like destroying tracks of enemy tanks you hit, immobilizing them while you reload.The SU-152 leads to the ISU-152.
