A lot of people are saying use smoke. The issue is that it is usually combined with a free recon plane from the command vehicle also in that commander.
Most players get by on T3 until they call in their first IS2. Bring in a SU-76 to help with anti tank if you need it.
You are correct most people bank for another IS-2 instead of teching after they get their first IS-2. This lets you play a bit more recklessly with your IS-2 and try take advantage of opportunities. Teching up and making a t34/85 is very similar in cost to an IS-2.
Most of the time at this stage of the game you will be up against a lot of anti tank and the t38/85 is too hard to keep alive. It does give you the flexibility of getting the Katyusha and SU85, whilst they are solid neither of these units performance is exceptional.
That being said I know that if Luvnest has a good lead and his command points are low he will tech and get a t34/85 rather than trying to stall for ages and losing momentum.
I didn't realise it was so reliable at killing trucks. Using the recon plane to drop it is much harder for me to spot than running troops up for sight which is probably why I missed it so often.
Not everyone has spearhead in their loadout, and a single unit shouldn't force a commanded choice.
He is talking about it combined with Royal Engineer Regiment. I think it is that fair you need to pick a commander to counter your opponents commander. Don't have spearhead? There is always festung support
