World of Tanks Expansion: German (StuG III G)
World of Tanks Expansion: German (StuG III G) The StuG III (Sturmgeschütz III) assault gun was one of Germany's most produced vehicles during World War II. Based on the versatile Panzer III hull, it had an armoured superstructure or upper hull instead of a turret. Removing the turret allowed engineers to mount the powerful 7.5 cm Pak 39 L/48 gun, making it a powerful tank hunter.The StuG III Ausf. G Expansion Pack adds a new tank type for players to employ in their platoons, the tank destroyer. When shooting from cover, tank destroyers are more likely to shrug off incoming enemy fire. Combined this with a Survivability of 2, the StuG III Ausf. G is best suited to lie in wait, providing covering fire to other tanks in the platoon.  In the online game the StuG III Ausf.
