Specifications StuG III Ausf. B blueprint

The Sturmgeschtz III Ausf. B (StuG III Ausf. B) was a German assault gun developed and widely used during World War II. Built on the chassis of the Panzer III tank, it served primarily as a mobile artillery piece and tank destroyer rather than a traditional tank. Armed with a 7.5 cm StuK 37 L/24 gun, the Ausf. B variant was equipped with a short-barreled cannon designed for infantry support and anti-tank roles. While originally intended for indirect fire and engaging fortifications with high-explosive shells, it could also handle engagements against lightly armored vehicles. The StuG III Ausf. B featured a coaxial 7.92 mm MG34 machine gun for engaging infantry and soft targets. In terms of armor, the StuG III Ausf. B had armor protection ranging from 16 mm to 50 mm, which provided basic defense against small arms fire and shell fragments. Its design emphasized a low profile and strong frontal armor to enhance crew survivability and tactical flexibility on the battlefield. Powered by a Maybach HL 120 TRM engine producing 300 horsepower, the StuG III Ausf. B had a top speed of approximately 40 km/h (25 mph) on roads, ensuring good mobility for battlefield maneuverability. Its operational range was about 155 kilometers (96 miles) on roads, allowing for extended missions and deployments. The StuG III Ausf. B played a significant role in German armored tactics, particularly in providing direct fire support to infantry units and serving as a reliable tank destroyer against Allied armor. Over 1,300 units of the Ausf. B were produced, demonstrating its importance and effectiveness in supporting German military operations throughout World War II.
