Since the IS2/IS2m where available in about the same quantities(actually more if you consider the Panthers were split between eastern/western front) as the Panther and was about the same tank class, would it not be great if you could build it as a standard tank? Not be a unique uber tank but rather the soviet equivalent that goes toe to toe with german heavy armour.
Stat-wise I was thinking something along the following lines. Hit points/armour/range/cost same as a panther, Mobility same as a Tiger1 and gun damage same as a Tiger 1 but more splash damage vs infantry
Super heavy unique units tend to become the focus of armies in COH and are either overpowered or underpowered. I personally don't think it fits with the WW2 soviet army and should remain a 'German thing'
In addition, I'm not sure if you already considered/working on this, but the SU series based on the T34 would be a great addition to the mod. If anything it would be very easy to model/animate Su122/Su85/Su100 very easily which could perhaps all fit into 1 doctrine(assault gun heavy)
By the way this is a great website about Soviet armour http://www.battlefield.ru/
