class: ATGM description: The Sturmgeschtz III (StuG III) assault gun was Germany's most-produced fully tracked armoured fighting vehicle during World War II, and second-most produced German armored combat vehicle of any type after the Sd.Kfz. 251 half-track. It was built on a slightly modified Panzer III chassis, replacing the turret with an armored, fixed superstructure mounting a more powerful gun. Initially intended as a mobile assault gun for direct-fire support for infantry, the StuG III was continually modified, and much like the later Jagdpanzer vehicles, was employed as a tank destroyer. introduced: 1942 manufacturer: Alkett/MIAG origin: Germany price: 12 role: Assault Gun/Tank Destroyer variants: "Sturmgeschütz III Ausf.
