Hello all
I propose to introduce the Su-122 into the game for 2 ballistic missiles in the event
The SU-122 was a Soviet self-propelled howitzer or assault gun used during World War II. The number 122 in the designation represents the caliber of the main armament, a 122 mm M-30S howitzer. The chassis was that of the T-34.Armor as on T-34 (1941)

Presented both in my writeup for for Soviet-Jap conflict; esp as ISU-152 was confirmed used in Far East.
I think its time for both honestly, first for variety reasons since theres no reason to take anything other than T-34-85 or IS2 currently. ISU-152 would present a bigger boom but with worse armor/ ergonomics than IS; Su-122 would work fine in BR4, maybe even BR3 since its terrible reload speed. These would actually create a situation where you want to run a tank and a SPG lineup.
I play axis and I believe the ISU-152 should be added to the game. The TigerII would be balanced to it (to a degree) and the reload on the ISU-152 would be slow enough that its rounds would not be abused rapidly against infantry. The frontal armor is good enough to deflect most axis tanks, other than TigerII/TigerP.
I also wish the JagPanther was in the tech tree, or purchasable.
