Trying different build to make IS2 useful

I think this was a decent game, we started slow due to my sniper opening and this one showed some strengths and weakness.
Armored Assault is used for Radio intercept/Planes
We were significantly better, but other games didn't really make it to late game if OKW went mechanized. Due to Radio intercept I was able make PTRS clown car to chase luchs and most players would just drop.

When I see a majority OST team I go T1/Sniper/Car if OKW makes kubel/sniper. The start is really slow but OST doesn't have an early chase down unit plus smaller squad size allows game to quickly go in my favor once Penals get pumped out.

I try to get 3 Penal squads at min but I like 4 in case I have to split up squads so I have PTRS squad to chase away LV.

Since there is no AT gun SU85 is first tank since consistent AT performance is needed, depending on how game is going Katy is next for wipes or snipers have been eliminated. I like to stall for the IS2 next, easier to micro compare to T34 so sniper play hopefully doesn't suffer.

This games also shows a couple of sniper build weaknesses:
Need decent teamwork, my ally picked Pershing but didn't set up any mines. Lost 1 sniper to dive.
250 Halftrack doesn't register on radio intercept. Lost 1 Sniper to dive.
Holding can get quite tricky since no mg so mines are needed and I did a bad job setting mines, I usually do better.



Also had good Strengths:
Helped push ally side, he got P4 kill I used IS2 to mop up Shwerer while Penals satcheled it to death.
During push called Planes to other side help other ally so was kind of in 2 places at once.
Due to low muni requirement for Penals was able to spam planes a bit.
