[...] your advice is that you'll virtually slap us if we get rammed? Or watch videos? As if we don't already.
Some maps are small or some maps are narrow and diving even for a katyusha can be risky, much less an isu.
I don't think it's unreasonable to want to decouple il2 from the isu. Ram by itself is fine, il2 same and so is the isu, but together there's a reason why five replays were linked willy nilly. It's because that shit really is a strong af combo and that's why you almost always run into it.
You don't have to look very far to find players using it.
Look, mate, the advice was for the guy who asked for it, and not general advice for everyone. Also read the full sentence, not just parts that suit you best. Also:
I don't intend to turn a balance thread into a strategy discussion, but feel free to PM me so we can get a few games across together for you to improve your skills.

And yes, I will keep on slapping at least virtually any of my 2on2 teammates in their faces if they go Elefant if the SOVs are betting on that from the very beginning. Especially if they are well deserved: The teammate had the chance to spot that the opponent has the commander loaded in the screen, they had the chance to spot that they got the ISU out (or at least saving for it), they know that there's a T34 ready for the ram, and they know precisely what would happen if they let the Elefant out with no proper prep. The result is still the same; they build the Elefant, they rely on Krupp Stahl, and they lose it to the Ram combo instantly (slap well deserved) and then they ragequit (even more slap) saying SOV OP only to find them minutes later in the forum.
There is a chance of a possible balance problem there and I am not disregarding that, but people can really go nifty willy themselves if they play and do what their opponents wants them to do and to blame balance afterwards.
That's like 2015 ISU all over again.
