ISU-130 stats at a glance

The ISU-130 has 800 hit points , 90mm of frontal hull armor , and a top speed of 38 km/h. Its strongest gun configuration deals 490 damage per shot with 238mm of armor penetration , giving it a theoretical maximum DPM of 2857.

Hull & survivability

The front-to-side armor ratio is 1.0:1. Side armor is relatively comparable to the front, meaning the ISU-130 can absorb some side hits in close-quarters fighting.

Mobility

Forward-to-reverse speed ratio is 2.7:1. Reverse speed is limited, so pre-aim and exposure timing matter more on this vehicle.

About this vehicle

This heavy SPG on the basis of the ISU-122S was developed in 1944, with a prototype built in October. The 130-mm S-26 gun, based on the B-13 naval gun, was mounted on the ISU-122S. The vehicle underwent automotive and firing trials by 1945, but penetration characteristics were inferior to those of the 122-mm guns, and the war was drawing to a close, so the vehicle never entered service.
