The StuH 42G was a modified version of the StuG 3G, with it’s primary difference being the replacement of the 75mm KwK L48 cannon with the 105mm StuH42 howitzer. This made the anti infantry capability much better than the previous armament, while still being rather similar. The addition of this tank will give Germany a tech tree BR3 SPH like all the other nations have (KV2, Sherman 105, Chi ha short gun). In comparison to those though, it has a number of downsides, especially so when comparing it to the Sherman 105, which doesn’t have these downsides. These issues include the lack of a turret which heavily limits gun traverse, and no machine guns to shoot at infantry, and with a ten second reload, that leaves you vulnerable for a long time. In order to make up for the large downsides it faces, as well as having the HE shells like the other SPHs, I propose giving it some Gr.39 rot HI/C HEAT shells (115mm penetration), which will allow it to be able to better combat tanks in exchange for it’s downsides.
Those have good guns cabaple of a lot because literally everything else about them is terrible
Ha, funny joke. It’s literally just a StuG, which any sane person would tell you is much worse than any sherman, with an upgraded gun. Still keeps all the major downsides and has a comparable gun, and due to the weaknesses compared to the 105 sherman, gets a few HEAT shells, which have less penetration than the long 75mm’s AP.
.-. maybe it’s the best on it’s class but i got remind You the buggy shells on KV-2 that for some reason can pass through walls (which is actually Accurate until we realize that no other tank can do that)
And that 15 cm sig is just sad asf i mean that armor is crap and no one wants ts since is a Pain to use at least this tank is not Open top
Welp good one here it didint fixed balance on here but at least Made that all nations had a Big gun type tank on their TT and welp i would have preffered this one since ferdinand just trew out of the Window balance on br 4 and btw who Will use this thing on Br 5 if we got jadphanter and KT so is pointless
This tank definitely has better armor, ontop of that, the only spot to shoot frontally has a really good slope on it. Shermans only have a little over 100mm of pen. I bet that slope with track armor puts it right there and even more so angled. You’re opponents dont get at rounds, this alone makes it unfair to get heat. Not having a turret takes the same amount of energy and inputs to move your aim and is not a justified reason for getting a set of shells. It in no way is an equal correlation between cause and effect especially when it gets better armor
Why are you limiting the StuH? It’s worse than the other TT options as we’ve stated, pretty sure it’s HE shells cannot fight other vehicles, unlike the rest
