I was just thinking, in the future, of seeing these tanks added, I was able to find production figures if anyone is interested. (not sure how accurate they are)

SU-85 750 in 1943, 1300 in 1944 a total of 2050

SU-100 500 in 1944, 1175 in 1945 a Total of 1675

ISU-122 2159 starting in Late 1943

Ferdinand i couldent find figures for this tank.

Elefant 90 in 1943
 
I'd love to see a JagdPanther, even though only about 400 (give or take a few) were made.
Or a Hetzer tank destroyer, one of those could be an amusing little thing to rampage in, especially in a partially forested map. Not much idea on how many of those were made though.

Any light tanks, especialy early war jobs, could also be a bit of fun. I do hope either the devs or this or at least a a good few modders.

Yeah the SU vehicles would be cool, in addditon to the SU-76 we will already be getting, of coures.

Ferdinand and Elefant are basically the same vehicle, the only difference is that after the disaster at Kursk, the design was upgraded to have a defensive MG fitted. I don't believe any more additional ones were manufactured either, the ones that survived from Kursk were simply repaired/upgraded accordingly and used through the rest of the war.

Count me down for wanting a Hetzer too Harris :) This was probably the best SPAT that was actually used in numbers (around 2500 or so if I remember), and of course, the JadgPanther was probably the best SPAT of them all, though as you said only around 400 (392 I think) were made.

Valentine tank, they were canadian and British built but many were sent to russian to serve. There very slow and started with a small gun but that was change to a 6 pounder and then a 75mm gun. It was used from the battle of moscow to the end of the war mostly in the southern fronts. Only had a top speed of 15mph but have a very low profile.
Under the lend lease act 2394 of the British models were sent to the USSR and 1388 of the Canadian ones, only 30 canadian version were kept on the western front (used for training)

Maybe lend lease Shermans and Churchills... I think the Russians didn't to highly of either of them and I think the Churchill was nicked named "A coffin for 5 brothers" by the Soviets who manned them.

But still they used them in the early parts of the war.

Actually, if I'm not mistaken (Alan?), in the later parts of the war there was an entire Guards Tank Army equipped with Shermans.
