Yes, the gun was adopted for the purpose. The barrel of the 52-K was the basis for the family of 85-mm Soviet tank guns. For example the D-5T 85mm gun for SU-85 initially and then for T-34/85. Later the T-34/85 model 1944 and all later T-34/85s used the ZiS-S-53 also based on the 85mm AA gun. Also, like many anti-aircraft guns of the era the 52-K was provided with antitank ammunition just in case a tank would appear.
