How do you kill them? I set up at guns and panther ,but they always call in a firestorm and or infantry and then its just 1vs1 with my panther which gets mudereed and dies. How do I counter these things?

You don't. That's the joke.

Might try sniping with an Elephant, about 50% success rate if enemy is dumb.

ok ,but its hard to wait that long without choosing a doctrine... The germans need a stronger antitank infantry 120 ammo for 2 bazookas is ridiculous

Stugs do a decent job in numbers. Shrecks are also really good for supporting, as the IS-2 can't really afford to target them if you have armour nearby. Remember it's one tank, and it can only target one of your units so having numerous AT options is the key.

End of the day it's a super-tank so it's not going to be easy and there isn't a simple hard counter, you just need to be smart with your troop placement mainly rather than relying on one hard counter.
