The ISU-122S is a Soviet tier 7 premium tank destroyer.
A heavy assault gun, built on the basis of the IS tank, was effective against German heavy tanks as well as fortifications. The prototype was built at the Chelyabinsk Kirov Plant in April 1944. The vehicle entered service in August of that year, and a total of 675 vehicles were manufactured in 1944 and 1945.

Equipped with a quick-firing variant of the common 122 mm D-25, the ISU-122s can be a terror on the battlefield. With a fantastic rate of fire of 8.11, the ISU fires twice as fast as the IS-1 and 2. The fantastic RoF of the gun allows the ISU to potentially rip apart any same-tier vehicle in less than half a minute of suistained fire while casually blowing up any lesser tanks . Left to its own devices, the ISU-122S can drill trough the enemy team with impunity.
However, the ISU-122S is far from perfect. The armor is rather inadequate for a T7 vehicle and most of the same-tier tanks can penetrate it with ease from any direction. It is also a large target with a 30mm roof, leaving it an extremely juicy target for artillery which can wreak havoc on its rather puny 870 health pool. The lack of turret accompanied by a mediocre traverse both in hull and gun leave it weak to flanking manouvers. The layout of the vehicle also causes it to take module damage quite often. Your gun takes about half of the hull and is often damaged, and the rest of the shots seem to home on the gunner who has the life-expectancy of a KV-5-radist. These two can be highly irritating due to the horrible accuracy of 0.41, which will only get worse during the match.
In tier eight and nine matches that the ISU-122s faces due to the lack of preferential matchmaking the D-25 isn't nearly as scary as before, forcing you to play much more cautiously. Lousy accuracy coupled with 175 mm of penetration will make it difficult to hit weak spots when required. However you still have your massive DPM, turning flanking shots and thinly-armoured mediums into delicious rolling piles of XP.
As far as crew training is concerned, the 5 man crew layout with 2 loaders matches the "Alpha Damage" line from Tier 7 onwards starting with the SU-152 and the "Mobility / DPM line" from Tier 9 onwards starting with the SU-122-54.

All in all the ISU-122S is surprisingly fast but badly armoured vehicle with a god-tier gun that allows it to manhandle any opposition in capable hands, RNG willing.
