I think it's alright to have a non-doctrinal tiger for the Ostheer but then the Blitz tiger absolutely MUST be changed into the ace in that case. Otherwise there is simply no good reason to go Blitz. I think the Ostheer T4 tank roster should be made up of panzer 3, panther and tiger. Panzer 3 being quite good against infantry and marginal against tanks, panther being the AT specialist and tiger being the heavy generalist tank.
no reason for blitz? theres not only tiger but stormtroopers stuh also, or those grenades...
but its just your view i prefer wehr doctrines like this: 1. Blitz2. Terror 3. Defenseand also when you have veted tanks on lvl 3 then its not the same tiger as you should build in factory as vet lvl 0 (dont know what veterancy system will ostheer use)
you'll need mechanized repair units at least...Schwere-Panzer Abteilungen (Heavy Panzer Battalions) never operated without them, since Tigers kept breaking down
I don't see why you would be reluctant to change the tiger with the tiger ace anyway, the ace is much better and Blitz certainly needs the buff. It also needs a way to spend munitions but this is probably beyond the goals of the EF devs.

My wish for the Ostheer would be solution with min. of 2 Tigers on the battlefield. Okay...this Tiger had to be weaker then the Wehrmacht Tiger, but Ostheer needs this SYMBOL! ( Tiger - designed as T-34 counter ) on the battlefield.
+1 I would love to see a Tiger group, with 2 or even 3 tigers. It would be costly, but terribly cool!!
