Description
Hetzer, JagdPanzer IV, Jagdpanther, Jagdtiger, Stug III in line.
ok, dont wanna be a smartass but the stug doesnt rly belong to this family as it originaly was an assaultgun for infantry support... but still pretty effektive in tank to tank battle, ask wittman...
not to mention it's a short barrel which was farely useless against tanks.
on the other side StuG later got a longer gun that was way more effective against tanks and it's role was changed to a tank destroyer, hence the germans created the StuH
Btw, what vehicle is right to the StuG?
Proly IS2. And yeah Stug was used as a tank destroyer and quite effectively.
not an is-2, look at the suspension. Either a t-34 of somekind or an su-85/100/122
T-34-85 to be exact. :)
I've actually been where this picture was taken. These vehicles are at Aberdeen Proving Ground.
Love the Jagdpanzer 4. :)
