StuG III-AH's first tank destroyer!
« on: March 17, 2011, 08:00:02 PM »
Id like to see the StuG III added to AH! it has a low sillhouette, good gun and can be very deadly and effected when used right.
the model im asking for is the one with the high velocity 75mm gun.

it was considered the most sucsessful german tank destroyer and HT is working on a new driving system where you can stay in your place and have the tracks move opposite ways so you can quickly attack your targets without having to move forward/backwards because so far all the tanks in AH act like 4 wheel vehicles.

...did you really just call a vehicle that packs a 105mm howitzer that could devestate both towns and other tanks alike WORTHLESS

when compared to a vehicle who could only be used to engage other tanks with its little 75mm?

Or do you find yourself with a sudden lack of word comprehension all of a sudden?

The StuG III Auf G (the "G" was the most numerous variant at over 7700 produced) mounted the same 75mm KwK40 L/48 that the Panzer IV (albeit a different mount, iirc).  The gun performance would be no different that AH's Panzer IV.

Other comparisons to the Panzer IV:

Same speed at 25mph; the StuG III carried 54 rounds for the 75mm vs the Panzer's 82 rounds; the StuG III has one less MG than the Panzer IV; frontal armor is the same at 80mm with similar slope.

I hesitate to call it a legit TD since it was designed and use as an assault gun working hand in hand with the infantry.  A legit TD is going to be designated as such as have limited HE.  Even AH's resident TD really isnt since it has an abundance of HE available when it is debatable that it ever really carry more than 20 rounds of HE.  It was always paired with 75mm Shermans with the much faster firing gun and far more effective HE round.

Regardless, I'd like to see it added once the steering is up dated.  :aok
