The big B-4 203mm gun was both around it AND in it. Several news reels show one leveling a German building with a shot.
ISU-152 with 203mm also involved inside the city.
Every conceivable artillery piece, and rocket artillery, was around Berlin.
For the Katyusha you can build the ICM version which is Late War and accurate or the Testors/Italeri/Revell kit which is post war.

Boy did I screw that up...(I admit, I was tired and running through the threads...ugh). The ISU-152 did NOT have a 203mm on it, it had the 152mm on it, hence the 152 in its name.
Off to whip myself with wet noodles for my screwup...ugh.

Oh, and even more fun, the Russians most likely used the Br-5 as well, the big 280mm (11 inch for us Americans) mortar on the B-4 chassis. Here is a link to one my buddy Kyle scratchbuilt

I have the big doubts about the following guns:
76 mm divisional gun M1902/30
76 mm divisional gun M1936 (F-22)
76 mm divisional gun M1939 (USV)
(according to WARDUKWNZ).
At the time of Berlin operation the Soviets had many much modern 76-mm guns (like ZiS-3), than those outdated items.
