The kangaroo was a series of different tank chassis that were converted into APCs/IFVs the two specific models i had in mind today are both based of the Ram tank just different models/marks
These vechiles are lightly armed with only a single 30.cal gun in a turret on the left of the vechile
Lets start with the ram kangaroo (early) its quite simply the Ram cruiser tank with its turret removed these apcs were mostly used by the 49th armoured personnel carrier regiment and i would recommend it comes as a new unique squad which would give us another british squad in the game now i would also recommend this vechile be a tech tree vechile
Next the kangaroo based off the late model ram hull with a ball mounted .30cal m1919a4 these vechiles were somewhat commonly equipped with an additional .50cal on a pintle mount on the front of the vechile and i believe this vechile should be a premium with the 1st Canadian Armoured Carrier Regiment

And the Vollkettenaufklärer 38 prototype.
I don’t know too much about this vehicle, however it’s based upon the hetzer chassis. From the looks of it, it’s almost identical to the Hetzer AA conversion, minus the armament and rear of the venicle. The armament (mg-42) is rather light compared to that of the ram, however the armor thickness of the volkettenauflarer would probably be significantly stronger.

I think a self-propelled gun like this would be a worthwhile subject for research.
This self-propelled unit is equipped with the legendary British 25-pounder gun-howitzer (officially designated the Ordnance QF 25-pounder Mk II). Key features of the weapon include: Caliber: 87.6 mm (3.45 inches). Versatility: It combined the characteristics of a gun (capable of direct fire against tanks using armor-piercing shells) and a howitzer (capable of high-angle fire against defiladed targets using high-explosive shells). Rate of fire: A skilled crew could fire 6 to 8 rounds per minute. Firing range: The maximum effective range was approximately 12,200 meters (13,400 yards). Ammunition load: The Sexton’s fighting compartment held 105 rounds, the majority of which were high-explosive shells.
