The ISU-130 is a Tier VIII Soviet Premium Tank Destroyer.

Like the other ISU tanks, it i is not that fast but still maintains a decent speed similar to that of the IS-3 but it’s trump card really proves to be the gun; it mounts a 130 mm S-26 gun that deals a high 490 alpha damage and deals 570 damage with a HEAT shell at the cost of penetration - 187 mm. It’s HE shell does 640 damage, an extremely potent amount if you manage to deal that damage on paper-thin tanks each time as its gun has the highest dpm for its tier. It’s 90 mm of armor can resist shots if sidescrape effectively but you can’t respond in such a position. It’s 90 mm of armor can only deflect shots if they aim at that gun matlet, which is actually surprisingly big. Its view range is poor and it can’t snipe due to low accuracy that all Soviet tanks suffer from. To sum it up, this is a powerful Tank Destroyer that can make use of its high dpm and damage per shot by attacking the weak points of an enemy’s armor but can only fulfill that if closer to the front lines and letting it allies soak up the damage. Use the gun properly and soon your garage will be overstuffed with credits. It is also worth noting that the top speed of 38 km/h is never reached - at most you will get up to 25 km/h and this is also why you should never be alone - enemies will easily flank you with your large profile, thin armor, and low speed. But its well worth the disadvantages and advantages because it only costs 5 gold, an extremely affordable price.
