Because the Stug brings nothing new to the game. so theres no reason to have it added at this time.

Nothing new?!?!  For shame!   ;)   A turret-less AFV for starters.  The Pzr III chassis for easily adding the Pzr II J.  Oh, and maybe one of the best things about adding the StuG III would be adding another EW tank if the short barreled 75mm was made available.  There was almost no change (or rather very little) to the chassis over the length of the war, just the gun.  There were over 9400 of the StuG III's built.  HTC could easily offer 2 types of main guns (7.5 cm StuK 37 L/24 for EW "A/B" version and 7.5 cm StuK 40 L/48 for the LW "G" version).

geez you whiny girls. it's not that big a deal. htc just gave you the tiger 2 and panther, relax...just a matter of time before they get the documentation needed for other vehicles and get them in the game. i'd personally rather have more 1938-1941 aircraft but, whining about it is childishly useless.

As so many before me has stated, you want a stug? up a Panzer IV and dont move your turret. theres your stug. wish granted.

Plus we already have a turret-less TD. (M3 TD).

Like i said, it brings nothing new to the game. not saying it shouldnt be added. i'd just like more important things to be added in its place. like say, the m3 lee. that tank is LONG overdue to be added.
 
Besides, i dont think the G model would qualify to be added to EW. Wiki has its Entrace date as  December 1942, thats pushing the limit of EW arena's timeline. so ether, it wouldnt be added, or it would be added but have a perk limit, in which case no one would use it simply because there aren't really any major EW tank battles to begin with.

Id rather have the Panzer III before the stug.

you want a tank with a crappy 37mm top gun, and a limited range 75mm side gun on a tank with less armor than a M4?

heres your M3 lee, up a M4/75 and only turn the turret about 10 degrees to the left/right.   :rolleyes:

not even close to an accurate substitute.

someones a little sore their stuggy's getting downplayed.  :rofl

Edit: Please tell us how the m3 is "Crappy". In its timeframe it did rather well, and was beloved by both the british and american tankers who used it. as well as feared by the Panzer III tankers who came up against it.

wow, that right there screams ego boost. the M4 is alot better than the M3 lee in the ways of more armor, a better gun and better suspension/engine. the ammo load is bigger IIRC and the panzer 3 was a very well placed match against the lee. you need to do alot more research. now time to place you on the ignore list. you cant go 1 minute without talking from your backside.

Yes the m4 is a better tank than the LEE, but the m4 isent an EW tank now is it?

like i stated before, IN ITS TIMELINE, the lee was a very good tank against its opponents.  you cant tell others to do more research when your yourself dont even have your own facts straight.  :rofl

the M4 obviously isnt in the EW era, but its the best sub we got. you tell me to use a Pz4 in EW for the stug when it didnt even see service till late 1943, out of the EW timezone.


still ego boosting?

still egoboosting. you find a reason to attack everyone in a thread dont you? how sad. not to mention you reply before i even get off the thread. butthurt about your M3 Lee being outdone by a StuG with a better FOV and armor?

who else in this thread have i "attacked"?  :headscratch: certainly not "everyone".
the stug AUSF G wouldnt even fit into the EW timeline that the LEE would, therefore they'd never meet in combat (unless you up them both in ether MW-LW) but AvA concerned, nether one would fight eachother i dont believe.

So how am i "Afraid" a tank will outdo another tank, when nether one of them will fight against eachother in their own respected timelines within AH.

you say i have no logic, and then you type up this complete farse that makes the finger point at you.  :ahand

and also read this last post because skorpion you started this fighting yet again and tyrannis was just posting his opinions.

also skorpion last time i checked tyrannis was responding to what you were saying and you baited him for a troll. stop arguing and stay on topic because all i see in this thread is tyrannis defending his position. Simple grow up because this is just plain dumb

"crappy"??? tsk tsk tsk. Know your time frames, jr.  The 2 Pdr, 37mm, 50mm, 45mm, etc etc from the early war AT guns were the standard of their day.  They did their job and did it well.  Compared to LW, they are lesser, sure.  But "crappy" they are not.   ;)

no actaully you aim for the engine/rearside near engine/turret at 1100 yards u hit the top of it useally

generaly speaking you dont aim for the front hull plate as its the most armored...

panzer gun can knock out a tiger with 1 hit, no HE177 because it sucked in design terms and the A6M7 would only be a gap filler.

How about Why are all Sherman tanks over powered. 

Why is it you shoot someone in the front and it takes out their engine and not the turret or tank itself?

Why is you shoot the rear of the tank and it keeps moving away from you and takes 20 more hits to die?

Why is it you hit the turret and he still traverses 180 degrees and kills you with one shot?

answer them and I'll think about answering yours...Maybe!

shermans are not overpowerd...well the VC firefly is but it has a much better gun then the other 2...most tanks can still 1 shot a sherman

as for taking out the engine with a frontal shot ive never heard of or seen that one...but if you want a reason the AP shell passed threw the tank and crew/everything inside and hit the other end of the tank...farfetched but you wanted a reason....

as for shooting the rear of the tank most tanks require 2-3 shots to the engine to disable it and you have to be sure your not hitting the rear part of the tred... shooting tanks in the engine is not the best way to kill them...so it does tend to take 4-5 rounds depending on range

and if you hit the turret and its not down either
A the shell riccocheted
B it absorbed it or
C u hit just under the turret or
D you need to just shoot it more as most tanks at a long range still need 2-3 rounds to turret them...heck a tiger at 1900 yards can take 5+ shots to turret from another tiger panzer takes 5 m8 rounds to turret but only 2 at close range....so more or less massive factor is distance and shot placement

theres your questions answerd

you just prove my point that you dont know much about WW2, A6M7 never went into combat like BAR stated, "panzer gun can knock out a tiger with 1 hit" would love to see this happen. HE177 sucked in design terms...not really, but failed in combat do to bad engines etc...

i bet id know more about WW2 than you. you want the HE-177 in game and you said it failed, the panzer 4 we have in came CAN knock out a tiger in 1 hit. your just to thick headed to find that you hit it in its side as a smart person would and the A6M7 you found out never went into service because of BAR.

to be fair it is possible to kill a tiger in 1 shot with a panzer... you just have to be point blank....most tiger drivers wont let that happen so it is possible...just not logical as by the time u get in range you will probably die...

and as for the 177 its design was not bad...but its time of release was a major factor in its performance from what ive read low fuel supply kept alot of them grounded same with lack of pilots and the pilots they had were not the most experianced

When the tiger2 first came out and they were cheap I destroyed 2 back to back with one shot from a panzer.  I shot their side armor with very little deflection from 600-800 yrds out.  It can happen.

What I didn't do was shoot from a long distance at a high deflection into the front and then cry that the someone cheating or that everything is modeled incorrectly, when I cant get a kill.
