Sturmgeschuetz III Ausf. G (Sd. Kfz 142/1)
    Copyright (C) 1996 by James Lowry

        The final version of the Sturmgeschuetz III, the G has become the
    archetypical tank-hunter of WWII.  The simple construction and effective
    long 75mm gun allowed over 9000 to be produced from early 1943 to the end
    of the war.
        The adjusted cost is pre-WWII even though this variant was developed
    after the war started.  Its main armament is a long 75mm anti-tank gun
    (crit|*|*|no|*|*|*|1/4|1) with AP (cr.|6d*14|14|1 mi.|3 mi.) and HE
    (exp.|6d*4[6d]|12|n/a|2 mi.) in a foward casemate mount.  The MG42 machine
    gun (crit|cr|7d|20|12|1000|3900|20|50) is in a pintle mount on top of the
    vehicle and is controled from inside.
