I dont think we have any tanks that have a turret with such a limited traverse rate. Would be interesting to see, but we really dont need another perked tank.

all it is, is a panzer wish faster speed, a bit more armor and the same gun. i see no reason for it to be perked

75 mm.  Built on the Panzer III chassis. 

Considering we have a Panzer IV with a turret with the same gun, it would probably not be much help.  Better off going for an actual Panzer III with the 50mm gun

50mm would be a good add for early war tanks..

only the later models had that gun...that thing had some very thin armor on it...and there were a bunch of different models from a to h i believe...

except for special events and the midwar arena...i'd rather see one of these:


thicker armor and the same 75mm used in the panther...

The Stug was the most successful German tank destroyer of the war.  It deserves inclusion at some time or another.  +1
