Specifications StuG III Ausf. G blueprint

The Sturmgeschtz III Ausf. G (StuG III Ausf. G) was a highly successful German assault gun used extensively during World War II. Based 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 40 L/48 gun, the StuG III Ausf. G was a formidable anti-tank weapon capable of penetrating the armor of most Allied tanks at combat ranges. It also fired high-explosive rounds, making it effective against infantry and fortifications. A coaxial 7.92 mm MG34 machine gun provided additional firepower for engaging infantry and soft targets. In terms of armor, the StuG III Ausf. G featured armor protection ranging from 16 mm to 80 mm, with thicker armor on the front to withstand enemy fire. The superstructure design minimized its silhouette and provided improved crew protection compared to traditional tanks. Powered by a Maybach HL 120 TRM engine producing 300 horsepower, it had a top speed of approximately 40 km/h (25 mph) on roads, ensuring good mobility for tactical deployment and repositioning. Its operational range was about 155 kilometers (96 miles) on roads, allowing for extended missions and battlefield maneuverability. The StuG III Ausf. G played a crucial role on all fronts where German forces were engaged, including the Eastern Front, Western Front, North Africa, and Italy. Its low profile and powerful gun made it a formidable tank destroyer, capable of ambushing and engaging enemy armor at long ranges. It was also used effectively in supporting infantry operations, providing direct fire support and artillery bombardment against fortified positions. Overall, the StuG III Ausf. G was highly regarded for its reliability, firepower, and cost-effectiveness. It remained in production and service throughout the war, with over 7,720 units built in various configurations. Its impact on German armored tactics and its effectiveness in combat solidified its reputation as one of the most successful assault guns of World War II.
