Thanks! I really appreciate the feedback.

Thanks! The Australian Army Tank Museum will reopen early 2025 and I look forward to doing some more from there, too.

Either Nick or Phil. They've been known to swap glasses to confuse people. Only their mother can tell them apart.

The StuH 42 mounted a variant of the 10.5 cm leFH 18 howitzer, which was modified to be electrically fired and fitted with a muzzle brake in this vehicle. However the muzzle brake was often omitted due to the scarcity of resources later in the war.

I doubt if it saw action like that. Somehow the break got lost. Firing that gun without one may break the gun and may put the crew in peril. There is a reason they designed them to have muzzle breaks. As you say I think it has a lot to do with recoil.

@@de7403 I have found out that the allies would remove them to identify it as a inactive piece of equipment so it would be safe to move on

@@de7403 if you search on YT for "German Raw Color Footage from the Oder Front- February/March 1945" you will find film at 5:05 time stamp of Stug's and StuH 42 from the Assault Gun Brigade 210 Zehden Bridgehead and the guns being fired without muzzle brakes

Hilary Doyle references the original directives from the Waffenamt that gave permission for the StuH 10.5cm to be used without the muzzle brake. As it was being used mostly for direct fire the propellant levels were lower than on the towed 10.5 cm leFH 18.

Thanks so much! I love researching and making them.

@@salameragazzo keep up the good work I am going to try and get up next year would love to see stuff in action with my own eyes

Yes - converting a fair few Valentines over to also mount that 3 inch Close Support howitzer.

If only! One time I measured my standard suburban double garage and realised that the short barrelled StuG III would fit for length, width, and height. Don't tell the Mrs.

The chassis of the herzer is not the same. It's longer and (I think) wider. Count the road wheels and you'll see the length difference

@@kirkstinson7316 sorry but all of the germans’ SPGs are built on panzer chassis - the marder, the nashorn, the elefant/ferdinand, the hetzer, jagdpanzer, sturmtiger, stugs III and IV. Mostly they were built because the relevant panzer was obsolete or the German design and procurement system produced a bunch of chassis that werent being used (ie the ferdinand/elefant, which is porsches or MAN’s first run at their version of the Tiger I. They built 92 chassis for that and they were used to build ferdinands, renamed elefant. The hetzer was built specifically on the obsolete 38t chassis. The stug III always us the PZ III chassis and the stug IV was built on the pzIV chassis. With the exception of the original stug IIIs- which used the pzIII chassis - the germans at no time designed or built a chassis specifically for a SPG platform.

Thanks for the pattern recognition tips on the 38(t). Always good to know what to look for if you spot one in the wild!

Considering that 37 M5 Stuarts struggled to kill a lonely jagdpanther, and that they're much faster, better gun and have radios, you'd need more than 37 of these, considering that the tiger does have a turret and a TCs cupola, it would be even harder to flank

Hawaii has so many silly named places it hurts. If I ever travel to America I would never go there.

@@bashkillszombies just because the names are weird since they are in the native hawaiian language doesn't mean you shouldn't go there. hawaii is so beautiful and the waves are really nice for bodyboarding and surfing, there are also a tone of super cool places to visit my favourites are ford island, pearl harbour (USS Missouri and Aviation museum) and Kualua ranch (UTV tour and Ebike tour) only downside is that you need a shit tone of money because a single supper at a restaurant like The Cheesecake Factory can be around 240 USD

It was perfect for what the japs needed tho

As long as the shell is not too small for the barrel, 37mm is just fine. Japanese barrels tend to be of smaller diameter.
