Well the stug should form the back bone of Ostheer's panzer forces. I think that one will counter infantry and in some cases anti-tank cannons and have a short canon. The other should have a long cannon to destroy tanks. I also think that the idea to link infantry to tanks the way british officers can be link is very good. It can improve the cooperation beetwen infantry and tanks.
They were excellent in destroying tnaks from a dfensive position due to lack of mobility and engine failures. But it was designed as a breakthrough weapon.
Well as it was said in one concept Ostheer should be an elite army countering masses of soviets so even if want to see new tanks a panther is a must. A panzer III is a good tank to fight those T-70 and T-90. Some version of stug should be able to fend of T-34 and then panthers come in. A buildable version of a Tiger is a good option to counter IS-2. The uniquness of Ostheer sholud be its whole concept not the vehicles.
Well yes that's the word flexibility of course doctrine is the most important thing determining the style of the gameplay. However even the most popular proposal as a heavy tank destroyer for Ostheer is the Elefant and its historical specifications made it an excellent weapon in static defence.
I would question ostheer's mobility. German forces from 1943 were in defence (with exception of the battle of Kursk and a few other smaller offensives. This is not a concept but rather a suggetsion for people writing those. This faction should be defensive and launch counterattacks to break the Soviets.
