“Driver, put the StuG in gear!”

The StuG III Ausf. E Assault Gun is strong vs infantry and light vehicles.

Overview

The StuG III Ausf. E is almost exactly the same as the StuG III Ausf. G; another Assault Gun, but has a weaker main gun and is slightly cheaper in terms of manpower and fuel.

Weapons

7.5 cm Kampfwagenkanone 37

This main gun is specialized for anti-infantry, having a lower velocity and armor penetration than the StuG III Ausf G. Assault Gun. However, the high explosive shells fly towards the target like short range light artillery for good effectiveness against infantry and buildings. The StuG III Ausf. E is arguably a weaker and cheaper counterpart to the Sturmpanzer IV.
