Cince the addition of the Flakpanzer IV Zerstörer 45 Test bed, which is based on the Flakpanzer IV Möbelwagen (Furniture Mover), i want also to suggest the 2x Normal variants, armed with 3,7 cm Flak 43 L/57 and 2 cm Flakvierling 38 L/65 respectively.
The Flakpanzer IV Möbelwagen could be a lower BR sidegrade to the Ostwind and Wirbelwind in game, showing the developmental history of the German armys Self propelled AA guns from Halftracks and Trucks to modified Tank platforms to fully enclosed and open top Flakpanzer which have rotating Turrets.
The Flakpanzer IV Möbelwagen was essencially a stopgap until the Wirbelwind and Ostwind were ready for production, these were modified Pz IV Hulls, where the Hull MG was removed, the angled front sides straigten outwars as well as fold down sidewalls which created a big working platform for the crew of 5 with the gun in the middle, beeing protected on the hull by 50mm and the turret only by the sidewalls and gunshield (so 8-2x 10 or later solid 20mm) while these were better than the Half tracks and Trucks, these were from march 1944 to July 1944 mere stopgaps until the Wirbelwind and Ostwind were ready with overall 240 vehicles constructed.
