You do know that it's not even abbreviated in German, I hear. And wouldn't it be pronounced 'stoog', phonetically speaking?

Yes, but involves something that many military minded Germans lack.

Humour.

The concept is just hilarious, and its actually a bundle of fun if you don't take it seriously.

That was pretty funny! I liked the little white flag popping out of the hatch at the end. I could use a little more of that humour in my life right now. What is that?

Bundle of fun heeehee :) 


Just not my cup o' jo.  But to each their own. I'm just kind of curious though, who is the target audience. Is it really pre-teen girls or is it really old men into anime?

Not a bad thing. If younger people learn a bit about & get interested in WW2, the flow on will be more people looking to play a WW2 game.

This new interest gets people digging into the History which is always a plus.

Years ago there was a franchise called Strike Witches.
I don't know how... but that franchise with its alternate universe and reference(s) lead me here (and now War Thunder)  :bhead

and it was kinda "educational" too  :D

StuG is an abbreviation of Sturmgeschütz, "Storm-artillery", assault gun. I'm not sure if that's what you meant though.

Yes, from what I hear, Germans say "sturmgeschütz" instead of "stug" as most English speakers do.

Ah, I see your meaning now.
