StuG III F vs T34/76 Modell '42

[aequitas-et-veritas]

It is Winter of 1942. You dealing with Snow and the Russian steppes!
It is snowing ,you have No support! It is a Face off. Wich Tank would you choose and how would you engage?

The Stug with its low profile and longer(43 calibre) 75mm gun should win if visibility is ok, despite the snow. I would be happy to be hull down and engage from just over 1000m. I would hope to get off two shots before the T34 accelerated and used its 75 from 500-750m to better effect. I would hope I had the advantage with the extra crew member too.
If it got to close quarters, I realise we are probably dead.

Wittmann got his first kills as a commander of a Stug in Greece and Russia.

It’s a close one. Stug has the range and is a smaller target with a better gun. T34 has maneuverability and isn’t limited by a fixed gun. But Stug edges it out with its more powerful gun

Stug III if I get off the first shot.

If the engagement is any longer than the first shot, give me the T-34.

By the way love the question.
