I really love me some Shock Motor Heavy Tactics.
Shocks imo best AI unit in game and with ISU and IL-2 strike is really supreme comander to me, but now with new patch to come(or online idk) they are nerfing ISU along with Ele.
So is ISU any usefull vs sneaky infantry or heavy tank pushes? Or am i just overreacting and should get better at scouting?

It's just not as good alone as it used to be, now you must have something to scout for it or it's extremely easy to flank etc.

Having a vetted t70 in recon mode near the ISU gives all the vision you're ever going to need

What is spending fuel and manpower on something when you just could be teching up

Teching up with skipping entire t3? it like you dont want to win. You can get grate benefits from fast t70 and then use it exclusively for scouting.

I like sight change, now players have to support their super long range super tanks instead of wiping everything with them from safe distance.

The only prolblem: The ISU is not a "super long range super tank"(unlike the Jagdtiger, which can also use HE barrage, lol). They fixed the wipe problem with the bigger spread of units which is good. However, that was it's only strength - so instead of being made into something useful it will rot in some corner.

use a sniper for spotting. Especially mid/late game, there should be enough yellow/green cover and hold fire. ;)

You should add an option for yes it's dead in 1v1 but great in team games. Then I would vote for that one.
