It also mentions the addition of a machine gun starting at and various stugs throughout the video are seen with a machine gun. Am I doing this stuff right? I feel like the odd one out here and put down my sources as best I could. As I said earlier, still new to this kind of stuff. I really hope this suggestion is implemented. You've made it clear what your suggestion is and you've got two sources for it. Looks at least from my experience like everything is in order. Thank you for the feedback. And please have all other MGs manned by a member of the crew commander, radio op. Good suggestion! How is that odd? Is that even modeled on the current mgs in the game? I thought it was odd because I had never seen that kind of set up on a stug III. Also thanks for the information. This vehicle should get its machine-gun, just like the others that are still missing.

While their mission was not principally fighting one another, their widespread use ensured their frequent encounters, from the Normandy Bocage, to the rubble-strewn streets of Aachen. The StuG lll was the quintessential assault gun, a low-slung, heavily armoured, turret-less vehicle intended to provide direct fire support for infantry formations, whilst the M10 3in Gun Motor Carriage was originally developed as a tank destroyer. However, by the 3in gun proved ineffectual against the most thickly armored German tanks, and was consequently relegated to infantry support too. Widely deployed in roles their designers had not envisaged, these two armoured fighting vehicles clashed repeatedly during the month campaign, which saw the Allies advance from Normandy to the heart of the Reich. Fully illustrated with specially commissioned artwork, this is the story of their confrontation at the height of World War ll. Biographical Note.

M10 Tank Destroyer Vs Stug Iii Assault Gun ebook PDF | Download and Re Staff officers of both Germany and America who supported or opposed each concept are discussed, including their supporting or contradicting doctrines for the respective vehicle. Development and refinement of each vehicle is delved into with satisfying detail. StuG crews were artillerymen, trained accordingly, and statistically shot straighter. M10 did not arrive in battle in its original configuration, its development well documented. As is the StuG III, which evolved through different guns and superstructures, including a howitzer type. Additionally, the Nazis needed more StuGs and this led to an outsourcing that created an entirely new vehicle based on a foreign design. Happily for seekers of technical minutia the author defines and uses terminology and abbreviations instead of common slang and post-war jargon. In fact, the back of the title page features Author's Notes defining conventions of unit terminology; weight and measurements; military symbols key; conversions between metric and standard. Organization and deployment of M10 and StuG units is examined, including a redesignation of Wehrmacht formations. Further, combat use of these two duelists from on is presented prior to the period this book covers, including action in Tunisia and Italy. This sets the stage for the October battle recounted herein. America watched the massed panzers rampage across Europe in and scrambled to create a countermeasure. McNair and Maj. Bruce, and the different theories on America's antidote to the panzer plague. Guns aren't accurate without sights and this subject is discussed. Command and control is informative with its discussion of different bands of radio frequencies and their place in the RF net. Protection examines the armor plating of the machines. The benefits and drawbacks of each vehicles' armor configuration is presented, with further development noted. This book examines these AFVs in combat during the second battle for Aachen. It presents a good background to the strategic situation. German and US plans are briefly examined, including units assigned to realize them. Combat is described a mix of small unit actions and larger formations. A fascinating micro-story is The Reluctant Dragon of Alsdorf which describes a solo StuG loose in a US-held town, with each side's attempts to vanquish their foe. Finally, Mr. Zaloga wraps up the book with Statistics and Analysis. Interestingly, some of his conclusions contradicts the conventional wisdom I have read for decades, including US Army after-action reports. Post-war AFV development influenced by both vehicles is presented. Photographs, artwork, graphics Mr. Zaloga's text is supported by a great selection of photographs, original artwork, and data tables. Dozens of black-and-white photographs bring these vehicles to life and reveal vehicle details. A single color photograph of a restored StuG interior offers excellent reference material. Most of the photos are clear although there are a few that obviously were shot by amateurs in less than ideal conditions. Many are battlefield shots. All are useful and modelers, historians, reenactors and vehicle restorers can glean a great deal from them. Modelers can gain inspiration for subjects and dioramas from the photos even though M10s and StuGs are not in every photo: a US roadblock with a 3in anti- tank gun supported by an M2. Two gems sure to annoy "that vehicle shouldn't be in this diorama" purists are photos showing obsolete StuG III Ausf C and Ausf D impressed to late-war frontline service due to the German crisis of supply! Illustrator Richard Chasemore fortifies the book with original artwork. One disappointment is that there is only a single battle scene in the book; most Duel books I have include the illustration s used on the cover. Neither is found inside this book. Regardless, the artwork is excellent: 1. SprGr 34 HE 7. M10 Ammunition a. M10 with crew positions. I have tried to reconcile this with other sources yet can not determine if the StuK 40 had shorter cartridges as depicted. This should have been addressed in the text. Duel Ser.
