This late STUG IV would have the novelty of using the MG34 from inside the tank without exposing itself like the Hetzer,A Nahverteidigungswaffe To be able to fire smoke/fragmentation grenades from inside the Tank Destroyer
This would be a great addition, especially with the remote controlled MG. Another common feature sometimes seen in late versions of the StuG 3s and 4s was a hole being drilled in the left side of the mantlet and an MG34 being installed as a coaxial machine gun, which I think would be another feature of it (sorry for the low quality of the second image)
Oh no german tanks could get a feature they had developed for thier own tanks… how tragic.
That will make all the greyzone tanks so OP… because somehow a short range grenade will reach the playarea somehow…
Why are people so suprised when tanks only sit in the greyzone since they are so fragile on the frontline and oppose anything that could encourage them to leave said zone it?
no it will make the tank strategy more effective, move to the edge of the gray zone, see infantry back peddle only now fragging any infantry before they can kill you with tnt or dynamite,
now if you ban german tanks from the gray zone id personally strap four of them to each german tanks, otherwise its a massive faction buff
oh not are already great tanks cant be even more op, wahhh
WWII US airburst artillery shells primarily used the revolutionary VT (Proximity) Fuze, a secret radar-based device that detonated shells automatically near targets (like aircraft or troops in the open) for devastating effect, scattering shrapnel over a wide area, though traditional time fuzes were also used for airbursts, setting explosions based on timed powder trains. The VT fuze used Doppler radar to sense distance, exploding shells overhead 30-50 feet above ground, making foxholes useless and proving a major advantage against German patrols and aircraft.
i can find more things tha would make the game hell for germany balance matters as much as history
