Is this change still coming, or is it better to keep it at BR3?
Yes. Leave it alone.
I heard that it was canceled too. Fingers crossed.
Yes thats why I am asking.
Not coming
But devs will look at how they can add a MG to it

Thats actually great news, Stug G with MG would be awesome!

A remote MG will be much useful.
The gun shield mg on the top is used by the loader, which is quite strange to use and the firing angle was very bad.
The amount of insults, stereotypes and arguments going on in this post. I see enlisted community is still as colorful as it was years ago…
Well most likely it will get a coax MG, cuz later versions of the flat triangle gun mantlet Stug G had those.
Simply adding a coax would be easy to model since its literally just a tiny hole in the gun mantlet
I believe only very late Stug variants like Stug IV had a remote controlled MG.
I think adding a coax on the Stug G makes sense, also 109F4 250kg bomb, but these have been recommended before and still no acknowledgement.
I am so looking forward to the update, the bullet holes in planes. Wonder if this will be like AoT damage, where you can literally have holes in your wings, or the weird damage model with struts hovering in mid air somehow.
As for BR5, I rarely play it, so SF changes are not important to me, so long as both my axis para squads FG43 GL, Kreighoff not affected!

Early gun shields with coaxial machine guns seem to be very very rare.
Remote mg were used on later models of the Stug III, after April 1944.

I’d rather a remote MG, that’d be a tradeoff for the lack of a turret or an MG in the loader’s shield, that’d make it unique and look cool
Well since its a premium - rare doesn’t need to be a criteria against it.

I wonder if they’re gonna try to add the StuG 3 F/8. It has 80mm of armor, could fit into the tech tree

Btw, where do you get these rumors?
I think the Russian Forum was talking about it.

indeed russian forum at it again.
What I dont understand and has to be addressed are polls, opinions clearly change with the community.
The forum and the russian forum have radically different opinions and Reddit has its own unique player base that has slightly different opinion from the forum (from what I seen). So in the case of BR changes, shouldnt the whole playerbase be asked instead of just a portion of the community?
I understand that its no easy task to survey the whole player base across multiple platforms, but if two of the biggest platforms cant see eye to eye than no wonder devs dont want to deal with whining generated by BR changes, even though there is clearly a big interest in BR changes.

Great. Thanks to them I cannot enjoy late war on low BR. And also I can’t bullt those pesky KVs, but that’s another thing
PSA: The “Hidden Threat” update is being rolled out, please be patient!
As always, the patchnotes will be released once the update is out and working on all platforms. It might take 30-90 mins (based on platforms), so if you can’t see the update or the game says there is one, but you can’t download it yet, please be patient and check again in 5-10 mins.
