[p]Commanders,[/p][p][/p][p]We´ve published a new update of our game. The main content of this update is a new German tier V tank destroyer:[/p][p][/p]

STUG III Ausf.G late production (Sd.Kfz. 142/1)

[p][/p][p]The total production of all versions of the Stug III reached an impressive 9,250 units. This number made the Sturmgeschütz III the most numerous type of German armored combat vehicle of the entire Second World War. Furthermore, this figure only shows initial production and most likely does not include vehicles that were converted from original tanks… which could have been as many as 200 units. Some authors even claim that more than ten thousand Stugs were built. (panzernet dot net)[/p][p][/p][p]What are the characteristics of this tank in our game?[/p][p]Advantages[/p]

Role of the Stug III G tank destroyer in the WWII:

[p]The Sturmgeschütz III assault gun had many opponents right from the start. They argued that it was necessary to focus on tanks, which were much more versatile than turretless guns, and that the Stugs would only drain resources and capacity that would be lacking in tank production. However, history has clearly shown that the Stug III more than justified its existence. The combat record of these machines was unequivocally positive. Let us have a look to the report of the Artillery Inspectorate from September 1944, which covered the activities of assault units on the Eastern Front from January to August 1944. During this period, the Stugs were credited with destroying a total of 4,667 enemy tanks, while suffering losses of 713 vehicles. The total score of Stug III assault guns on the Eastern Front for the period from June 22, 1941, to August 1944 is estimated in this report at an incredible 18,261 Russian tanks of all types! By the end of the war, this number had certainly increased, and countless other "kills" were surely added to the Stugs operating on the Western Front and in Africa. Due to the overall shortage of combat equipment in the late stages of the war, Stug IIIs were also assigned to tank units instead of Panzer IV tanks, as well as to tank destroyer units.
