Not sure how. AH doesn't have 'advances on the battlefield' that require mobile artillery support and there's not an object on the map that can't be destroyed effectively with the ground/air/fleet toys we currently have. Just sayin'. Now, if it came to something that would make events more robust there's still a long list I'd put ahead of a Stug (examples of German armor in AH is anything but sparse).

* To be honest, I had hopes that the Sherman tank would be great for Western Front ground events. Alas, not much of a percentage of the community shared my exuberance.

The later tank killer versions were the most prolific killers of allied tanks during the war. More than any German tank.

Didn’t even realize we don’t have the Stug III. Enjoy it in a few other games I use to play.

Spend some time in a Hetzer and tell us if you really think adding the StG III/IV would be a good thing. Not a bid wish, and I agree with 10,000 StG III's built it would be a legit addition to AH, but HTC has lots of other things to spend their time on when we already have the Hetzer and Jgdpanzer IV.

Early versions would be great at destroying towns and such.
Later versions would be great at countering tanks on the attack.

I like the hetzer!
