Primary Weapon: 7.5 cm KwK 40

One of the most effective armored units built by the Germans throughout the war. The StuG III has the same firepower and armor as the Panzer IV at half the cost. The only drawback is that the gun is not turreted so it does not fire on the move well.

Panzer VI Tiger - T2 Heavy Tank

The Sturmtiger is a deadly Tier 3 Artillery unit. It's 380 mm shell does twice as much damage as the King Tiger's gun, but it fires inaccurately and very slowly at about one shot every 90 seconds. The Sturmtiger is best used to destroy the most heavily armored structures.

Jagdpanther - T3 Tank Destroyer

Jagdtiger - Experimental Tank Destroyer
Primary Weapon: 12.8 cm Pak 44
Secondary Weapon: Hull Machine Gun

The Jagdtiger is a very heavily armed tank killing machine. The deadly 128 mm cannon will destroy almost every tank with one shot. The Jagdtiger does come with some drawbacks as it is very expensive, slow moving and it does not have a turret.
