Germany Event APC Squad: 2.5cm Selbstfahrlafette Bren(e)

Since the USSR and Japan are receiving Bren Carriers as event squads in the anniversary event, this leaves Germany as the only nation without one. To resolve this imbalance, I propose the 2.5 cm PaK 112(f) auf Selbstfahrlafette Bren(e), abbreviated to “2.5cm Selbstfahrlafette Bren(e)”, get’s added as a future event squad for Germany.

It is essentially a captured Bren Carrier, but with a French 25mm SA Mod.34. This is the same gun as the one found on the French AMR.35 ZT3 in War Thunder, but this weapon would fire APC “mle.1934 Balle P Ch F Pzgr.122(f)” and German-produced HE “Sprgr.L’spur (Pak)” instead of APCR “mle.1934 Balle TP Ch F”. I’m not sure how much ammunition this vehicle carried, but I wouldn’t expect any more than 30 or 40 total rounds, especially since it isn’t the vehicle’s main purpose in the context of the game. If someone has concrete information they could provide, I would really appreciate it!

APC “mle.1934 Balle P Ch F Pzgr.122(f)”:
2.5cm Pzgr.122(f)

APCR “mle.1934 Balle TP Ch F” (used by weapon in War Thunder, not on this vehicle):

HE “Sprgr.L’spur (Pak)”:
2.5cm 112f HE

With an AP shell penetrating 47mm of armour and a low explosive mass HE shell, this carrier could be placed at BR 2 with the other Bren Carriers, but bring something that makes it unique for Germany.

If people believe this would somehow be overpowered, a Bren Carrier with an MG.34 could be considered instead. The captured designated for the Bren Carrier was Bren 731(e).
