The StuGF8 exists and is a fantastic T-34 killer (loves it when they're hull down). The StuG IIIB & IIIE are about the only StuGs that are not effective against T-34. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stalin's Organ Posted January 18, 2003 Share Posted January 18, 2003 Originally posted by MikeyD: About hull-down, I remember there was some concern over this back in the Beta days. Problem was a fully exposed vehicle would have a higher probabiliy of getting hit, but a hull down vehicle would have a higher probability of a lethal penetration. Some thought it was safer to go counter-intuitive -- stay exposed to increase your chance of a non-lethal hull ricochet. You can't go by that though, BFC did a LOT of game tweaking after that topic and the release CMBB may be more balanced than it was.This was a major problem for the Pz-4 in CMBO because of it's small turret - the chance of hitting the small turret with it's weak armour was greater hull down than if the whole tank was exposed! I think somethign was done about it - there was a fair bit of discussion about turret profiles a while back, but I'm not sure what hte outcome was. Certainly vs 75L24's the T34 turret is weak enough to get it killed and so you want to avoid turret front hits! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt.Kloss Posted January 18, 2003 Share Posted January 18, 2003 Another and cheaper solution: Bring forward 3 45mm AT guns (they are amazingly fast for that kind of stuff)and open fire from any distance <1km. With their rate of fire you have a BIG chance to immobilize Stug. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
