You know, I knew the answers to all of them, but it wouldn’t have mattered because I only play on the NA server (I would get too much ping if I played on any of the other ones, because apparently ripping people off for a slow internet connection is an acceptable business practice in the US).

StuG (and StuH also) was not designed for indirect fire.

It must be funny feeling to overlook quite big Sturmtiger which was part of the Sturmgeschütz family too.

But if you insist, contact ASAP with Mr Doyle and explain him why he made awful errors writing about Sturminfanteriegeschütz 33, Sturmgeschütz IV für 15 cm Sturmhaubitze 43 or about Sturmtiger in Panzer Tracts 8 “Sturmgeschütz” book. I’m sure he will be happy with new discoveries and maybe he will ask you for being co-author on revised edition.

…only when unofficial name becames popular enough to be used long enough to be widespread among whole army on all fronts.

If you are serving on Eastern Front, you know very well what “rasputitsya” is. If you are fighting in Italy or in Western Europe, you have no idea what is it. If you have some veterans from Eatern Front, they will explain this term but it takes a lot of time.

Name “Hetzer” could be used locally but was not popular enough to be standard in every PzJgKp of the Wehrmacht.

The thing about unofficial names is that everyone knows what you are talking about.

This competition was buggy like the game :-D
Yes, german troops call Jpz 38(t) Hetzer and no, StuG (and StuH also) was not designed for indirect fire. BTW Stupa was sometimes called ‘Bär’.
Have a nice day.

Messed up the last question by forgetting the name Bar. Got the rest more or less right. Can’t believe the Maus one threw people off as i thought that was the easiest one. As for the Hetzer Penetration one I hazarded a educated guess on it.

Thanks for the tank.

It was the Bar that messed me up. Could not, for the life of me, remember or locate the name.
