Adding mines to that would make it a copy of PE's munition HT.
Not Teller Mines. ;) Why does it matter if it's similar to another unit, anyway? I think it would be good to have it be able to place Mines of some sort. Give it some more usefulness, you know?

How about as a artillery gun(or reward unit :P) for Ostheer you include the Heuschrecke 10(nicknamed "grasshopper"). It was developed during 1942 but was canceled in 1943 due to the greater need for panzers, not b/c of any mechanical problems. This could possibly replace the brummbar or the 75mm Infantry support gun. It never made it to mass production but then again the IS-3 wasn't involved in WW2. Im not critizing it I'm just saying that this wouldn't be the only historically inaccurate vehicle in the game.

Wish I had that unit suggestion chart handy.

To be blunt the answer is No. This unit was only a prototype.

+1

So, because we added the IS-3 we need to add something worse to the Ostheer that badly ???? It never went to mass production because was cancelled. No way this is going to be featured in the Ostheer.

You should not rely on the IS-3 to make suggestions for Ostheer. Even if we make a compromise to add some prototype units because of the IS-3, at least we should add something better/interesting.

If you are interested to read that chart you will find it near the end of the OP... List of Units that the Eastern Front will NOT ADD

+1.
i would say that if any prototype-like unit get's added, it should have seen some combat at least and it should only get added as a reward and not a regular unit
Jagd[tiger] is a buildable replacement for the Kettenkrad... It can cloak and cap points. :P

How about the Flakpanzer V coelian 37mm Flak gun? As an upgrade it can be epuiped with the 55 mm gun. I have no idea if the ostheer mod has an aa system :P so this could be a nice way to counter planes, especially that doctrine ability from breakthrough strategy. BTW I'm not familiar with this tanks hstroy so don't ask me :( sorry.

@Fishhunterx
That thing was a prototype and never was built. I would prefer the kugelblitz.

I have another idea (I can already sense the face palm XD) How about the Sd.kfz265 command tank. Again, no knowlegde of it's history but I guess it could be like a Cromwell command tank. It could keep all thos Panzer III formations running smoothly :D
