Wohoo.... man, I cant wait, that description was delicious...
I do have a question though, are the vehicle specs simply there as information, or are they also present in the game (different speed's depending on terrain, traverse limitations, and such..)?
Cant wait to see what you reviel next.

Nothing in the mod even comes close to Konigsplatz. It has to be seen to believed. Its the perfect mix of infantry, tanks, and artillery. There is nothing like watching 10 russian soldiers rush forward with artillery blowing up just in front of them and a T34 behind them giving them cover.

Nice work guys.
I wonder how the Stug will behave ingame. I suppose, since there's no mg, you'll only need two players (commander/gunner and driver). Also cooperation with your infantry will be vital to keep enemy AT infantry at bay.

The Stug is the perfect vehicle for players who concentrate on team play. The limited traverse of the main gun means that you really need a full time driver and gunner. You'll know it when you encounter a Stug crew that can really cooperate.

As long as the tank maps provide cover and concealement, then the Stug has a chance, but in a knock-down, one on one fight, the IS will clean its clock. The German team will have to make sure that whichever players are operating the Stugs understand the importance of firing at optimum range and from optimum angles. I.e. don't expect to fire at the front of a IS tank and get results, but hiding unnoticed and coming in from the sides or rear is another story.
IS players will probably have to watch out too, because if they are too hasty and fire off a round (or try to fire while moving, which I see lots of players do in the mod), then they will be stuck reloading for the next 30 seconds while the Stug pumps several rounds into it
Hopefully the devs have also taken into account realistic turret traversing speeds, which will present further dangers to the IS if caught in the flank or rear.
In general, if the game tactics play out like anything in real life, the key to the German success will be taking the smaller numbers they have, and concentrating on select targets, such as having two Stugs take on one T-34, with one firing while the other reloads, or the use of flanking maneuvers and feinting to get at the Russian armor's flanks and rear.
The Russian team on the other hand, will have to mind these tactics, and in turn assault German positions with speed (from the T-34s) and large amounts of supporting suppressive fire (from the IS and SUs): the quicker they can get in amongst the Germans, they will be at an advantage in a highly mobile fight, but at distance they may all be taken out piecemeal by a concealed Tiger or group of well-positioned Stugs. Of course, when an all-out assault is required to finish the job, a high-speed surge of a large number of vehicles all at once (with JS and KVs leading) stands a chance of overwhelming German defenders.
Hopefully we will see realistic differences among the vehicles, and with that, the players who are serious about winning will use teamwork and historical tactics. I am also hoping VOIP is a little more flesched out in the retail version, which would help a lot with coordinating armor attacks.

The ambush tactics of the StuG are very similar to the ambush tactics employed by coordinated PTRD gunners in the Mod. More than once two or three well concealed and skilled PTRDs have completely decimated a group of Panzer-IVs on maps like RO-Arad_SO. Those are some of my fondest memories...
