These tank destroyers (or the correct variant) were used heavily at Kursk.

lets discuss a much better solution. the 105mm sherman  :x
would be easier to add than the stug. would become more useful.

PLUS.

it could easily take a stug out in one shot.

even tigers tremble at the thought of this beast.

Actually, no they didn't.  The M4A3(105) Sherman were of limited use in fighting enemy tanks due to the problems of hitting the small targets with a howitzer, and the lack of power traverse which hindered getting the howitzers on target in a timely fashion.  Their purpose was to give the tank battalion its own internal artillery support and to assault enemy fortifications by using the 105mm howitzer to blast fortified bunkers and pillboxes.

1055mm howitzer could fire alot more then just flares.

that was rl tho ack. AH doesnt model problems. so the 105mm sherman would basically perform the same way in AH as a m4(76) does. (maybe a little slow).


and the armor penetration for the 105mm heat round is set at 6 inches. so yes even tigers could run into trouble with them.

and its not like my request is a hard one. its as simple as giving the m476 the 105mm gun option.

I was joking, you just posted an image of two flares, and what ack ack was saying is that the turret is manualy operated, and turret speed is something that AH does model
