I would like to suggest a new premium Pz 38(t) with the Wurfrahmen 40, similar to how the Matilda Hegehog allready is in game.
It would offer a another vehicle, that can fight like any other with normal cannon armarment, as well as having 2x Wurfrahmen 40, which are more or less aquivalent to 100 kg Bombs from planes, with great range, tho not so great accuracay. It would add another unique playstyle to the game to the lower ranks.
Just like the Pz I with the Wurfrahmen, on this only 2 rockets are mounted on the tanks, by that it can aim lower (as the rockets dont block each other) and shoot at targets closer by. But compared to the Sd.Kfz.251 it will have less ready ammo, tho can also be equipped like the Pz I with a trailer carrieng another 6-9 rockets to be reloaded on the go.
History:
The Wurfrahmen 40 was a offencive weapon designed to be a cheap mass attack weapon against groups of targets as well as fortified positions and less against individual targets, with the exception to self defence. It came in wooden or steel crates, which were both the transport and fireing container. Overall because of its designe and construction it was a really cheap and effective mass destruction weapon that could be readyed really quickly or fired as is from vehicles.
It was mounted mainly with 6x rockets on Sd.Kfz.251, but duo the need to get the armarment to the enemy and limited production capacity the rockets were also mounted (by factory and field mods) on a multitude of vehicles, including some Pz 38(t) of different versions.
The Pz 38(t) was one of the main tanks at the beginning of WW2 as construction of own tanks was still lacking and own Production of Pz 38(t) tanks in newer versions was effective into filling the holes in the ranks. It can allready be found in game as Ausf. A and F.
