The most frequent killer of my ISUs is my stupidity. Go figure.


Then my guess is you lose because of stupidity?

Btw.: your car is parked in an illegal manner.

Guards in front of the isu, zis guns behind it to cover it, m5 to reinforce. If enemy hides behind hedges or trees then attack ground through the trees to make comrade Stalin proud. If enemy has elefant then you can ram it or button the kill with isu or call in il2 bombing run. The hardest thing is to survive that long to be able to create such force. Harder in 1v1, easier in 2v2s. Howitzer kills it but again you can sneak a cheap m5 inside the enemy base and call il2 to bomb it.

I'm a bit at a loss for what to do when my opponent brings out an ISU or an Elephant. I know they're expensive but you can't keep people from fuel all game and sometimes they do arrive.

What can you really do apart from getting your own super TD and shooting back?

Most of the time they're sitting so far back that you're not getting close with infantry(elephant) or doing so would be suicide (ISU).

Any good tips to share?

I was thinking bombing or artillery strikes, but do they really have the firepower to make a dent?


Most important thing is to chose time and place for battle. Heavy tank destroyers (Elephant) are usually very slow and take a lot of Pop Cap.

This means you should be able to play some 'guerialla tactics' hit and run, use line of sight and try to weaken the enemy. Make Elephant chase you around the map, Force it to move around. Don't have a standoff with it.

Concentrate more on infantry and make opponent bleed manpower/resources.

Remember Elephant is terrible vs infantry.

Thats if you are playing 1v1, if you are more into team games. I don't really have solution other than: better hope someone has Heavy Soviet Howitzer and is willing to help you out....

P.S. Bombing and Arty are most effective counters for Elephant...........

Does anyone know the difference between ISU and the IS regarding their armor/dps/speed stats? As now I can never make up my mind if i should go Shock Rifle or Shock motor commander.

IS2 has 325 front armor and 225 rear armor. its gun has 170 penetration and 40 range. it takes 9 seconds to reload and has an AOE of 5.

ISU152 has 200 front armor and 100 rear armor. its gun has 150 penetration and 100 range. it takes 10 seconds to reload and has an AOE of 6. it has no turret though.

both tanks have 960 hp.

Wow ok, of some reason i have always thought that the ISU was more robust and could take more of a punch than the IS but guess i was wrong. The crazy range it has compensates for much of this tho.

Thx man

and both tanks are a joke vs the elephant (which all infantry based AT also are a joke against, barring engine disable) ((which is good but not enough))

I lose (not always) because of very little experience in not only CoH but any strategy game at all. I am getting better though and win most 2vs2 and 3vs3 matches.

This is a dead end parking lot. So my car is fine, and neighbors never complain.

Thanks!
