For some reason I really liked the pentagonal German arty emplacements from one of the ToV campaigns. It looked pretty cool.

I would say firebase non-doctrine and wespe call-in in one of the doctrines.
Ostheer skouldnt have decrewable weapons. No mortars, no HMGs (LMG 34 squad with no ammo cost would be great), no PAKs. A firebase with stats compareble to 25lbs sould be a great non doctrinal arti.
Wespe is a great idea too. More shells but less damage and range than Hummel.

Why no Hmgs the Heavy mg 42 is only used in the whermacht and is such a crucial unit for the axis. Im sure that the eastern axis forces used mortars, ats and hmgs alot anyway.

Wehrmacht does have an Artillery Cannon, but it's not available in game, you can spawn and use it in cheatmod though. Perhaps you could allow the Ostheer to build that?

I thought Relic was helping them with that?

When has Relic ever delivered?

I don't think they actually said they were going to either, or even acknowledged that they received the dev's help list.

I think he might be refering to the RSO...a Pak40 75mm, or PaK 43 88mm on the chasis of a Halftrack or Opel Blitz.

Yes, actually you are pretty close to what actually happened.

They asked for a list and after devs gave it, absolute silence... The only thing we can do is wait and not giving up our hopes.

You know what I wanna see?  Thor Artillery.  ;D  As an end tree tech.  Like the man said, PE already have the Hummel, let's build us an extreme artillery battery like the arty equivalent of the Jagdtiger.  Something outrageous to smash the entrenched Russian defenses!

I wonder how many times the Gustav has been brought up and shut down in these forums now...
