Thanks to rapid fire properties of this weapon, damage output is high enough to provide good anti-infantry defense and sometimes can even suppress infantry units effectively. It is worth noting however that accuracy is increased with the number of enemy soldiers in weapon's arc of fire. At its maximum range of 35 meters, each bullet has only a 20% chance. 7 or 8 bursts can be fired before weapon must be reloaded,Īt 20 meters, each bullet has a 45% chance to hit the target. This weapon fires from 15 to 30 bullets per burst. It is unmanned, and becomes operable only when the second level of Tank veterancy from Kampfkraft Centre has been researched.Įvery single hit of it drains up to 5 health. This weapon is placed on the top of the turret. The StuG IV's secondary weapon is Maschinengewehr 42. The StuG IV still will be able to hit the target sometimes, and whole vehicle is immune to small-arms, as mentioned above. Against the Churchill Tank - 58%.Īccuracy against infantry is only 40%, so it isn't good anti-infantry weapon. The chance of penetrating M26 Pershing tank's armor, the heaviest armor available for allies, is only 55%. However, this cannon lacks good penetration against heavier targets. Against the M4 Sherman, there is a 75% chance of penetrating his armor, not to mention about 50% damage bonus, which makes the StuG IV tough opponent. Against Cromwell tanks, every shot will penetrate armor. Penetration values against medium allied tanks are good. Penetration and accuracy is a little lower on the maximum range, but this effect isn't significant. It has a normal range of a maximum of 40 meters, 5 meters beyond tank's sight range. Every single hit of it drains up to 87.5 health and reloads within only 7 seconds. The StuG IV's main weapon is the 75mm StuK 40 L/48. Choosing the Blitzkrieg Doctrine can also allow an Axis player to access the Blitzkrieg assault ability, which increases its effectiveness. It is best supported with Stormtrooper or Grenadier squads. Because it costs less than other heavy panzer units, and its population cap footprint is very small in comparison to other heavy vehicles, a common Axis strategy is to deploy the StuG IV in large numbers to overwhelm enemy positions as a massive assault gun formation proves to be highly effective against tanks such as the M4 Sherman, Cromwell Tank, and the Sherman Firefly. The low silhouette and highly sloped armor of this tank can provide surprisingly good deflection of incoming rounds, deflecting even some of the highest powered AT guns in the game on occasion, effectively increasing the lifespan and retreat potential of the StuG IV. However, it still possesses heavy armor that is immune to light weapons and, if upgraded to a second level of veterancy, it can be armed with an MG42 light machine gun, in addition to supplementary armour to protect its flanks. Its slow rate of fire and limited area of effect means it is not designed as an anti-infantry vehicle. Serving as a close infantry heavy support vehicle, the StuG IV's 75mm StuK 40 L/48 gun is highly effective against tanks, armoured vehicles, buildings, and fortified position such as machine Gun Emplacements. It can be deployed onto the battlefield long before Allied players are capable of producing heavy vehicles of their own. More reliable and cost effective than the lightly armored Sdkfz 234 Armored Car, this vehicle takes up only four population, making it one of the cheapest tanks in the game. Built on the chassis of a standard Panzer IV and armed with a 75mm StuK 40 L/48 gun housed in a casemate instead of a turret, it is the earliest heavy vehicle that can be deployed by the Axis. The StuG IV is an Allied commander's worst nightmare. Its original role was to provide close infantry support, destroying bunkers, infantry garrisoned in buildings, and pillboxes, but was later proven to be an effective tank killer. It was developed by a leading branch of the Sturmartillerie (Assault Artillery) and tasked with close fire support of infantry and tanks. The Stug IV, an abbreviation of Sturmgeschütz IV, is an assault gun, a type of self-propelled artillery.
