Add Pz IV C as foldered BR2 vehicle to German tech tree.
Make its ammunition pool consists of Heats/He rounds in a 1:1 ratio (excluding smoke shells as usual).
Compared to Pz IV E and F1, this version is slightly less armored.
So in exchange for less armor it would get better ammo?
It’s just a very different setup compared to the classic APCBC/HE of Pz IV E and F1 variants.
APCBC is much more effective against tanks than Heats - if you can penetrate a tank with them.
But Heats have higher pene (80mm in this case, since this version couldn’t use the better ones) and can be quite effective against infantry (HEs are still better against infantry. But if you run out of them, you’re not forced to go back to the refill point, you can use heats against infantry instead).
But on the other hand, even BR1 infantry with AT rifles will be very effective against this tank, because in this case 30mm armor instead of 50mm armor makes a significant difference.
Overall, I think it would provide quite unique gameplay compared to other German TT BR2 tanks.

I would also like it to be usable by tanker 1 squad so you could use both short panzer 4s at the same time

I think it’s a very good addition to vary the gameplay in lower tiers, as well as showing new types of projectiles early on to newcomers to the game.
