25 tons light tank hunter with 75mm (Pak 40) cannon. Secondary armament was a 30mm Mk 108 against fighter-bomber and infantry. Its top Speed was around 60 kph with a hight of only 2 metres.

The mk 108 could be used as some kind of light AA

an interesting tank hunter a faster variant of the hetzer
but to see the MG as a light aa. most of the time the MG's on such tanks were rather star and meant against the infantry

Yes, most MG's or other smaller weapons installed on Tanks were ment for this purpose but the Mk 108 was installed insted of the Flak MG (AA gun). So its an AA gun in a tank.
Or do you think it would be to Op?

woud be op
it was pland like this: "The armament was to correspond to that of the E-10, additionally an MG 42 in a turret was planned." so it would be effective against infantry

Ok but would be there a boost against infantry? I mean a 30mm Cannon is something different than a MG with 7.92mm

not a bust but a lot of tank destroyers had no mg and if it had a turret it was usedull in all direction. the others just can shoot in one direction
