Well ye this should be a own vehicle.

Dont get confused by the modification

I just meant that because it is a stug modified with a 20mm  

My bad, thought you meant it as a modification to the already in-game Stug III G. I fully support this in game as it looks like a lot of fun (I could use it to tear apart some R3 T20s.

The Stug III Ausf. G mit 2 cm Flak 38 was a Modification ordered by Oberbefehlshaber Schwab. (see top left of photos)

I would like to see it as a Modification for the existing Stug III Ausf. G in game.But only the 20 mm Flak 38 not the thin extra plates for the Commanders copula.

I could unfortunately find no Documents to that exept 4 Glass negatives (owned by Akira Takiguchi)

The last one looks "Fake" because of added paint on the glass for security purposes ( other side of the picture 1 )

 

The 2cm Flak 38 would perform the same like in game and would have a Ap-I Hei-T Ap-I Hei-T  belt because of ballance and use against planes and

light ground vehicles

Cince the Stug III Ausf. G has only 11 mm of top armor it is very Vulnerable to planes.

With this modification you can compare the Stug III Ausf. G (4.0) with the American M10 (4.0) Both are about 40 kmph , have similar gun performance , are vurnerable to planes but have a powerfull secondary armarment against Planes and Light ground vehicles.

 

Dr. Otto Schwab's Personal Records shows that he was:

Insp. SS-V.T.(3): 09.11.1939
SS-Führ.H.-Amt Kdo.Amt d. W-SS: 18.12.1940
SS-Führungs-Hauptamt, Amt.V: 21.01.1942
Kommandeur d.SS-Art. Meßschule Glau I: 20.04.1942
Kommandeur d.SS-Art.Schule I und Vertr.d.Chef.d.SS-FHA i.d.Amtsgruppe A: 01.03.1943

He was born in Geiß Nidda, Kreis Oberhessen. He attended Techn.Hochschule Darmstadt from 1908 to 1914 (Dipl.Ex, Dr.Ing.1933).

He was awarded the German Cross in Silver (Kriegsorden des Deutschen Kreuzes in Silber) on 12.11.1944 as Chef des Technischen Amtes der Waffen-SS. Schwab didn't need to see combat to receive this award - the German Cross in Silver was, "awarded for honorable military service in the execution of the war effort, while the German Cross in Gold was awarded for outstanding achievement in combat." (Angolia: For Führer and Fatherland - Military Awards of the Third Reich, p.328).

John P. Moore's "Führerliste der Waffen-SS" shows him still as Kommandeur SS-Art.Schule I in February, 1945.

With the improvised mounting for a Solothurn S-18/1000, it would be sick if we actually have a person on the back of the StuG as shown in the picture

I just rewatched the picture after many months and realized that the 20mm mg can only properly shoot to the left so i dont know how useful this would be 

It would be ok if the small mg wasnt there and it will be ok if gaijin implements it without the small mg but otherwise its a waste of GE for me.Collectors will love it though and i still think it has a place in the game
