(Yes, I know this is not strictly a tank). But it was also used in offensive tasks, as a tank.

    The ISU-152’s name in Russian quite literally includes the word tank. Casemates, SPG’s, and tank destroyers are still tanks.

    “Самоходная установка на базе танка ИС с орудием калибра 152мм, ИСУ-152“

    “IS tank based self-propelled installation with 152mm caliber gun.”

    Quite the mouthful.

    It also checks out on the definition front, “a heavy armored fighting vehicle carrying guns and moving on a continuous articulated metal track“.
