So, i have another suggestion. Most of Eastern front maps took place after 1944, except for Motovsky and Lenino. I hope we will get some early (1941-1942) maps. And my ideas for them:
1. Of course type 1935 RKKA uniform with gorget patches. Also update Motovsky bay Red Army soldiers models, cus in 1942 RKKA was still using type 1935 uniform.
2. Kits. Almost the same as later war, but:
* Limited rifleman kit with SVT rifle (it was kinda widely used in infantry in 1941);
* Add for rifleman with Mosin Dyakonov grenade launcher (used in early stages in 1941 and almost "extinct" by 1942)

* AT - full rearm: PTRD, Nagant revolver and RPG-40 AT grenade (working like italian bomba a mano L), Alternative - Mosin M38 carbine and pair of RPG-40 grenades;
Pick up kits:
* MG kit with DS-39 (almost forgotten soviet medium machine gun, infamous for its malfunctions and issues)
* Rifleman with AVS-36 rifle;
* Opolchenets (Militiaman, member of Narodnoe Opolchenie) - rifle (Mosin, but can be Arisaka, Enfield №3 or any other WWI rifle) with bayonet and Petrol bomb. Maybe also with Mauser C96 pistol (most common german pistol in pre-war USSR).
Vehicles:
* GAZ-AAA truck or ZiS-6 also as platform for BM-12 MLRS.
* GAZ-64 as jeep
* Armored cars: BA-11 (heavy armored car) and BA-20 (light armored car). Or maybe medium BA-10 car.
* Tanks: BT-5 or BT-7, T-26 (light tanks, note - in 1941 they were a solid, biggest part of soviet tank forces, so 1941 maps needs to contain more those tanks, then other types); medium - T-34 and T-28 (for the summer of 1941, the Red Army had 481 tanks of this type) and heavy tanks - KV-1 and KV-2.
* Planes:
* Fighters - I-16 monoplane and I-153 biplane fighters; MiG-3 or LaGG-3 as advanced fighter
* CAS - early IL-2 without rear MG or Su-2 light bomber;
* R-5 - scout plane
Maps:
* Battle of Brody - one of the largest tank battles in history (23–30 June 1941) or Alytus battle (22 - 23 june; first tank battle at Eastern front)
* Brest fortress - nuff said, infantry map;
* Smolensk battle - something like Fall of Tobruk or Battle for Brest i think
I know, the biggest problem is who will make all this stuff but i hope it will happen someday.
