I would like to suggest the german captured M4A3 76(w), while the german tree currently has only the M4A2 75 as a super rare premium vehicle from long ago. This M4A3 76(w) would offer a further playstile with stabilizer (compared to the German firefly with less firepower) and as follow up to the 75mm M4A2.
The history of the exact vehicle is unknow, except that it was knocked out by a 90mm round and was in use in shortly befor the end in 1945 in Aschaffenburg. Where it was recaptrued by the americans (who aparently also took off the muzzle brake for some reason).
Tho unlike other nations this vehicle wouldnt be a complete copy as along other Beutepanzer and other Beutematerial the german army needed to use, reuse and modify the equipment they captured to fill their own holes. The tank would use new german made 76mm ammo placed in recicled casings as especially late war when the tides turned captured stock would perhaps be the most rare to see. Also this one still has the VVSS instead of the HVSS.
