No, The 152 was an assault gun with an extremely LOW rate of fire - I think (top of my head) 1-2 rounds a minute.
With APHE you are looking at penetrating 125mm at 1,000 yards .

There are a number of 100 and 122mm guns far better off then the 152, for example Su-100 which penetrated over 120mms at 2,000 yards.
Then again this would be a heavily perked tank, however it would be able to combat a King tiger, and Panther/Tiger for sure.

Su-152, Su-122 ISU-152 and ISU-122 were all assault guns, they were made to blast through german defenses not combat tanks, in the last ditch effort they could and in fact using High explosive rounds had a fair chance to knock out a tank with a hit to the turret ring.

Even with its horrible rate of fire, the size of the guns and penetration it would be perked which is the only down side.
Not sure exactly what it would be perked too since the only non-turret tank we have is the M3(75).

Yes to this and the 100

Su-100 is basically a Su-85 with 100mm D10 gun I think?
I would agree it has a faster firing rate then the 152mm.

+1 good choice plus with this and was it called k1 or kv-1 they could own any tank on the battle or for that matter any one

Actually it doesn't a good crew loaded 4 rounds a minute same as the 152mm - the reason is because there's a powdered charge that has to go behind the shell itself, slowing down the firing rate - where an 85mm or 88mm would simply be the shell itself.
