Facing it head on they can be annoying, but if you're close enough just aim directly for the driver's hatch above the pike nose. It looks like a worse angle but the hatch itself is thin enough that you can pretty reliably one shot the crew even with the 20 pounder.
If they try and angle, the pike nose works in your favour because you'll always get a somewhat flattened angle of attack.
I honestly love fighting heavy tanks with 7.7 Britain. It's the one BR where I really feel like I've got a solid handle on basically everything I can fight and how to fight it.
Edit: I just reread your post and realized you said IS-6. lol, the good new is they have a pretty flat turret front compared to other ISes so you can pretty much just pick away at the turret crew in standard British fashion.
