Hmm... Are you sure that second picture is on the Eastern Front... Looks like something burning on the plains of Salerno from an airstrike....

LOL...

If you run, you'll only die tired.

One hand on the wheel, and one in the flame,
One foot on the gas, and one in the grave.

Nah, you said some StuGs burning from air-strikes, the ones I shot up were burning courtesy of Sherman 75mms....

RE: STUGS
Gents: :smoke:

Curious on the reasons behind the development of the German STUGs? :chin:

I know it was originally designed as an infantry support AFV... but was the decision to mount the gun to the hull with a limited traverse... in order to eliminate the turret, reduce the overall profile of the vehicle, and develop an AFV design that was easier to mass produce then a turret-mounted vehicle? Yes?

In CS game terms... I have found it better to have a turret-mounted tank (in regards to shoot & scoot) then a tank destroyer / assault gun.
