Which book is that from Cult?
I have all the best tiger tank books, and in my (very casual browsing), I have rarely come across a description of a SU-152 vs. Tiger action.
Only the gun calibres were the same. Its focus is on friendly/enemy losses. After the vehicle saw service, the Red Army praised it as a very effective tank destroyer with strong firepower, which could stand against any mass-produced German armored vehicle. By December 1943, 670 vehicles were manufactured.
