I would like to suggest the (specific) Leichter Flakkraftwagen Kfz.81 (s.Einheits-Pkw) (Light AA vehicle) (more on that below). It would be the aquivalent (a little bigger) to the AS 42, however with more firepower and a gunshield. (This is not about the Typ 40 variant, which removed some features such as 4 wheel steering, and the 2 spare wheels in the middle and such, but the latest normal variant. This suggestion is also not about the unique factory constructed 2 cm Flak 30 als Selbstfahrlafette auf Einheitsfahrgestell II für s. Pkw. but the normal vehicle with mounted armarment) (Alternative name of the chassis is also Horch 108)
It was part of the Lkw. der Fliegerabwehrtruppen, which included the Kfz.81 and 83, which had a 2 cm Flak 30 or 38 (81) and a light spotlight (83), the Kfz.83 existed as leichter Scheinwerferkraftwagen I and II.
It was the truck counterpart to the Sd.Kfz.10/4 (and 10/5), which had the same armarment and were primay pre war light aa vehicles as well as against Infantry, structures and tanks if no enemy air is around.
Overall the Kfz.81 number was shared between 3 chassis, the Krupp-Protze, the l. gl. Lkw. (o) (Leichter geländegängiger Lastkraftwagen offen / light offroad truck open cabin) and the s. Einheits-Pkw (Schwerer Einheits Personenkraftwagen / Heavy Unified Car)(that i suggest).
The Vehicle was equipped with ammo, tools, spare parts, bench for the crew and the gun usually towed, however sometimes also put on the vehicle.
The armarment was as mentioned above either a 2 cm Flak 30 L/65 or 2 cm Flak 38 L/65, more on that below at the armarments section, i suggest to make it choosable as a modification, as the only in game effective difference would be the fire rate 300/480 rpm and slightly more depression -12/-20°. But both would be of interest, as the Flak 30 with its lower rate of fire could offer an easier job at AA work (and AT work) because you have more time to actively adjust your shooting while shooting.
It could come at Br 1.3 similar to the japanese 20mm AA truck, an unarmored and bigger (but bigger crew and faster) alternative to the Flakpanzer I.
The s.Einheits-Pkw by the Auto Union AG (Audi) was a unified Car chassis, that was build 3 configurations, Light, medium and heavy (this) (the names on their own were Le. m. s. gl. PKW = leichter, mittlerer, schwerer geländefähiger PKW = Light, medium and heavy offroadcapbale Car), and was both as normal car with front engine and also with back engine it formed the basis of the Sd.Kfz.221 and 222, which is also in game, as such this can also be seen as a trade of to it, offering more firepower (20 and 40 round mags, vs 10 round mags and Mg 34), lower armor (just the gunshield) and similar if not slightly better drive performance (due lack of armor, same engine and general chassis).
They were used in multiple roles, from 1938 produced to 1943. Initially it was to replace all civilian vehicles in the Reichswehr and Wehrmacht which usually only had backwheel drive, by special vehicles with all wheel drive, powefull engines and sometimes even all wheel steering for good offroad performance. Unification of the chassis also was to simplefy the supply, production and training for the vehicles. However while successfull, of course due to great demand the original plan as replacement didnt succeed and it didnt replace all cars.
The Vehicle:
Weight: 3300 kg (without gun)
L / W / H: 484 cm / 200 cm / 204 cm
4 Wheel drive and 4 wheel steering
Top speed: 90 km/h
Engine: Horch 830 3,8 L V8 90 PS
Crew: 3 (in game)
The Armarment:
Either 2 cm Flak 30 L/65 or 2 cm Flak 38 L/65 480 rounds, optional ammo trailer. More below, including ammo types. 20 and 40 round magazins
