[...] ISU-130 (ISU with 130mm gun) won’t be implemented for now – T-35 with additional spaced armor and 122/130/152/180mm guns [...]

About “ISU-130 Model 1945″, Steven J. Zaloga puts that picture in his book “Soviet Tanks and Combat Vehicles of World War Two”. The book says: “The ISU-130 assault gun was built on the IS-3 chassis, but none entered servide before the war’s conclusion. This is an artist’s impression of the vehicle”.

Zaloga also makes a reference (same book) to the ISU-130:
“Dukhov’s team developed the ISu-130, with a 130mm naval gun on an ISU-122 chassis, but this was not produced until after the war. “.

If we take the Osprey (I have it in spanish, so I’m going to translate +- )about the IS (same author): “The ISU-130 mounted the 130mm S-26 gun, a naval gun adaptation. The main advantage of this gun againt the 152mm was the lower size of the ammunition, so it could carry 25 shells instead of 21. A modified version of this gun, the S-26-1m was also installed in a ISU-122Sm the ISU-122BM. The 130mm S-26-1 gun had a long barrel with accelerated the shell to 1000m/s improving penetration. None of these improved assault guns were acepted for production.”

That’s all the iformation I have in my own library.

I doubt it, the Object 704 only had the ML-20, the barrel is too long.

I’m thinking the ISU-130 model 1945 is just an early artist’s impression of the Obj. 704. My guess is someone tacked on a mix of the info from the ISU-130 and Obj. 704 in an effort to explain the drawing.

Correction, the ISU-122BM was armed with the S26-1, not the BL-9.

The object 263 was supposed to be in a different branch, but WG had to change it because of tier 10 TD’s.

Historical ISU-130 should be a tier 8 premium TD. In that case, the tank will be like a stock ISU-152.
130 gun….must be better than BL-9S and worse than BL-10. (Remember in-game ISU-152 has a BL-9S gun pen: 225/265/68, dmg: 390/390/465).

But, if the 130 have the same statistics than BL-9S, its ok for me.

ISU is my favorite tank, and obviously, I will buy this premium tank destroyer :)

Very interesting, but these indeed would have to be premiums.

I can’t imagine any way that these vehicles could end up not being outright inferior to the Jagdpanther II
