The following numbers are assuming you are teching directly for it. In a 1vs1 this won't happen, but you can assume both players will spend around the same number of fuel on side techs (Soviet/OKW), optional T1 and T2 building (Ostheer) or vehicles and light tanks (all). So we can take the numbers as an orientation for timing. In bigger game modes it is a common tactic that one or two players in the team are teching as fast as they can to get a shock unit asap.

Ostheer (BP = Battlephase):
BP1 = 40
BP2 = 90
T3 building = 15
PZIV = 120

Alltogether 265 - Starting fuel of 10 = 255 fuel
(StuG III G comes at 225 fuel)


Soviet
T1 building = 10
T3 building = 85
T4 building = 90
KW-1 = 145

Alltogether 330 - Starting fuel of 20 = 310 fuel
(T34/76 comes at 255 fuel like PZIV)


I didn't compare to OKW in my post, because there it is much harder to compare. Are we playing a 1vs1 where OKW is dependend on salvage only or are we playing a 2vs2 with an Ost mate who builds the caches while OKW still can salvage. This is a huge difference that really makes any comparison very hard if not obsolete. Your numbers are correct with the exception of the medtruck that costs 25 fuel instead of 35 fuel.

KV1 has 800 health with 10% damage reduction if I'm not mistaken. That makes it 889 effective health or 6 shots to kill (5 shots plus snare is not sufficient). At this point I have to correct myself, since I forgot to account for the unique damage reduction.

At range 40 KV1 needs 11,7 hitting shots to kill an OKW P4 and 9,0 hits to kill OST P4, while both P4s need 14,73 (all pen corrected). Accuracy is similar on both with the KV1 being hit slightly more often due to higher target size. Not sure about the scatters though. Close ranges favor the KV1 more than the P4s.
Reload times are pretty much the same, not sure about other factors, since ROF is pretty complicated to calculate.
