The Sd.Kfz.234/4 - a 75mm PaK on the Puma

The Sd.Kfz.234/4 was a variant of the Sd.Kfz.234 platform, of which we have two versions in game already, armed with a 50mm (234/2) and short 75mm cannon (234/3). Another version on the platform was 234/4, which was very similar to the /3 version and made starting in late 1944, armed with a PaK 40 L/46 anti-tank cannon, the same as the Marder 3H’s cannon, a pintle mounted MG42. This would be an interesting vehicle in the game, similarly very vulnerable and easy to destroy and potently armed to other tank destroyers like the Marder 3s, but also being quite agile, at 90 kph forwards and backwards due to the reverse gearbox. The armor is very thin at 30mms on the hull and 14mms on the turret frontally, and the open topped design leaves the crew exposed to infantry and strafing from planes. This would be a nice vehicle likely for an event, and I think it would be best on BR2 considering it’s downsides.

No StuG III F on BR2?
Okay, I will take a Sdkfz234/4 as well instead.

Isn’t it that more of a BR 3 thing? since the sd.kfzs are on the same BR as the tanks which wield their cannons are?

StuG III F is BR2 material, the only thing going for it is its cannon, but even on BR2 its a ninche vehicle since every Panzer IV is better at infantry support.
The only use of StuG F is anti-tank but there is absolutely no point in using StuG on BR3 since Panzer IV gets the same cannon.
