Wait. There’s a StuG-like tank that also happens to have a machinegun? YEAH, I want it
By the way, isn’t that middle picture the same SU-76m that we already have in game, as a premium?
Late war STUG G had a coax, just sayin
I don’t really understand you’r topic actually , the first and second photo are some converted captured Pz III into a tank destroyer wich is a nice and original idea too add depending of the BR they put it.
The next ones are some SU-76 photo wich is in game
Another one is I guess a SU-100 wich is in game too
and to finish an AA ZSU-37 if i’m not mistaken, This one could be a nice add if we get an AA dedicated Slots
yet another tank that had no place being a premium with how widespread it was, at least there is other SU-76 options that could be added to the tech tree
I know right? I always despised the fact that one of the most important ‘workhorse’ of SPGs in the Wehrmacht such as the StuG, was reserved as a premium. And initially only reserved for Normandy. Unlike in War Thunder, which althought I’m not that good or an expert, just started playing it like two years ago. There the StuG III G is one of my main vehicles. At least there it’s unlocked for free lol
First gold older vehicle I ever got here was the StuG III F from Stalingrad. Awesome vehicle, although the clutter in nearly all the maps, specially urban maps, makes it’s low profile not very usable in many situations. As it will block and ruin many of the shots. A departure of how this machine fought in real life.
But after the merge, when I’d get wide open maps like Moscow or Tunisia, that thing rips like it should.
yeah its such a shame, not a single stug I can think of is premium in WT, and I love them all, the Stug 3A in particular is great fun, but all of them equally so.
Also yeah the lack of wider maps to encourage flanking and hence encourage defending the flanks is a bit of a shame, or well at least for the ultra heavy urban maps.
