Status: offline 		While playing Spwaw i hgave notived that the stug is no more than an ordinary spg.The stug battalions where all "freiwilligen" and where composed of some of the best soldiers in the German army.But that is in no way pictured in the Spwaw.The should have the elite status in my opinion.What do the rest of you think? Happy easter holiday!

"Yes, I had advocated a raise in StuG fire Control,or Stab number to reflect the fact that for the most part, the StuG crews were volunteer, and generally better trained, with the weaponry of the Stug, than an average tank crew. I think they were worked on, but haven't checked for sure."

Status: offline 		Stug crews also had stereoscopic (or maybe coincidence) rangefinders!! I've seeen several photos of the commander using a small range finder in his cupola. This should help out with long range fire.

Status: offline 		Hi It's good that you increase the experience value, but how about the artillery value? Many of those men had an artillery background and this is also true for the Finnish Stug crews. Someone said:
quote:

Stug units were part of the field artillery so they had same kind of optics. A better range finder value would be right here. Later in the war equipment were no so good. For example the rotative commander's cupola with periscopes was later fixed. BTW. Where are those artillery, armour and infantry command values used?
