What a magnificent machine!
A rooster with a camera on his armor ruined the video.

What a machine, what a sound from the Maybach engine, seen them at the French national museum and Bovington one, but to see one driving is great.
It sounds like it is missing a few cylinders!
The Germans definitely made the right decision to produce the Stug 3 in large numbers. It actually ended up being their best anti tank weapon and destroyed more Allied armour than the Panther or Tiger tanks did combined.
@@peteshaw7848 The stug 3 was Germanys most produced tracked vehicle, information easily available.
It was also a lot more cheaper to produce, more reliable and had better spare parts production. The StuG III was the work horse of the German panzer divisions.
From what I know, stug IIIs of the later period were panzer IIIs that were finally recycled to not waste the chassis and put them to good use instead when their no-longer-upgradable 50mm gun due to the small turret ring became obsolete vs russian tanks. Nevertheless, these stug IIIs performed amazingly with their ambush tactics and its new 75mm gun!!! Now that's something everyone can agree on
Tiger was more effective per vehicle, and had lower crew turnover.
Stugs never had a 10:1 overall knockout ratio. They knocked out more allied armour simply because there were far more of them and they spanned more years of the war.
@@lyndoncmp5751 And that's exactly why they were so good. Those so called low quantity wunderwaffe lost them the war. Nobody cares if those low amount of tigers were effective if in the end they didn't have enough of them. StuG III might get outclassed by tigers, but that doesn't matter if you have more StuGs than you will ever have Tigers.
Impressive and bad ass looking machine, even after all these years. Thanks for sharing!
The guy on the back spoils everyone's photos.
The Most Underrated tank in WW2.
Assaultgun no turning turret😀
It is not a tank
It's a self propelled artillery gun
Почему недоцененный он очень хорошо себя показал против средних танков
@@fasdgaf8387 because its statistically the most effective td ever made and is also the most common germen tank yet is never in ww2 game or movies except for sometimes
@@454FatJack the first tank didn't have a turret dose not matter what they call it its a tank
Awesome machine..great looks..great sound.
.great engineering....more more more....
My first 1/35 model tank was this guy. A Tamiya kit that came with 4 soldiers. Great memories.
Does Revell make StuG models? My local shop only has Revell.
I have the same kit. Tamiya is the best. I painted it a simple dark tan.
Fun Fact:Stug 3 is still the single deadliest AFV in history,it has more recorded kills than any other tank or armored vehicle.
1st scale model I ever built. It's beautiful.
I built the Tamiya model over 40 years ago
Right hand track looks like it needs tensioning.
Both could use adjustment
Ok, I'll let Hitler know ..
nope, the tracts are fine.
Yup. The front drive sprockets don't like that. Ask any M113 Commander
Ok, Mr Moran.
A beautiful and iconic ww2 vehicle. It’s amazing to see how small it is.
WOW! Good job keeping that thing up and running.
The funny thing about finding and getting old German WW2 tanks is that most of them were destroyed.
While American tanks were basically everywhere following the post war period, and Soviet tanks were half broken littering the east, most German tanks were destroyed by advancing forces.
So it's a lot cooler seeing a functional German vehicle vs a Soviet or American tank...
WHAT A BEAUTY! Thanks for bring this to us!
Now here is a vehicle that always makes me smile.
Tnx!
... Bloody Gorgeous !!!, from the UK !.
This is my favorite tracked vehicle ever. This is not a tank but the design is just beautiful
its a tank people say its not because of things like assault gun and oh it dose not have a turret well neither dose the first tanks
I'm always surprised at how "small" these WWII tanks really are. The StuG held its own throughout the war, though. That 75mm was a very good gun, and the StuG could take a surprising amount of punishment for its fairly light armor class.
Incredible over 75 odd years, original , engine.
That Maybach sounds smooth.
Maybach name is on some of the Mercedes Benz cars now
Glad this was recommended to me!
This thing looks like it could still hold its own on a modern battlefield.Hard to believe it was built in the 1940's!
In fact it could handle anything today other than a modern tank or anti tank. In fact I believe some 3rd world countries still use T34s and Shermans because if your enemy is some guerilla with a rifle that's more than good enough. : )
@@MXB2001 no this couldn't really come close to dealing with any tank produced after the war (really after the 50's, once Main Battle Tanks and composite armor became a thing). Definitely couldn't deal with anything like an Abrams/Challenger/Leopard.
@@MXB2001 t-34 and Sherman are lightly armored medium tanks, so stug could fight them. Against heavy tanks, like Soviet KV and IS, or British Churchill VIII (or some of the later Churchills) it was quite useless simply because it can't penetrate frontal armor.
EDIT actually later modifications of stug were capable of fighting KV, but that was only after 1942, by that time soviets were producing IS. It was still god against t-34, which was the most mass produced Soviet tank, but let's not pretend that stug was good. It was a cheap crappy workhorse, for any serious buisness they used tigers, jagpanzerIVs or just anti air atrillery.
Any post-WWII tank was even better armored that IS, so there's little discussion in wether stug would be useful or not.
Don't let looks deceive you.
@@fhlostonparaphrase It's still old isn't it.So your right.
This thing sounds ominous! I can imagine laying in a frozen foxhole in the dark Ardennes hearing this thing approaching in the thick fog....
A lovely tank or a TD! Smoking quite a lot actually, It is possible that the compression rings of some the pistons or some of the valves are worn out. This engine needs a good overhaul 👍👍👍
Yeah I was thinking something like that too. Not surprising for a 80 year old though.
@@MXB2001 the problem is that those engines, like any engines, both old and new are really expensive to overhaul but the beauty of the Maybach HL 120 TRM is that it is still in production the specified roll bearings including the transmission and gearbox but I don't know about the poppets! Also the Maybach HL230 P30 that powered the tree big "Cats" sharing the same luck. Very cool 😎
It has two carburators and if you would compare with other StuG's the right bank of the V12 smokes always. And when the engine is cold it drives a littlebit to rich (smokes)
@@whgespann the StuG III was powered with the Maybach HL 120 112 TRM V12 and has two Solex 40 KFF II 2 installed between the V12
engine banks. I'm a bit perplexed because how can on side can be more "smocky" compared to the other side? Could it be that it needs to be better regulated? But I also know that the distributor was often a weak point in many gasoline engines and often needed to regulated but it doesn't make much sense why is OK on the right and not so good on the right....
one of my fav WW2 machines, imagine if they managed to fit in a more powerful engine and then increase the frontal armor of this thing....
Man is that cool
Pure greatness!
Great vid! Wish it was longer!! Cheers!
Cost money....😡😃🙃
I wish I had a tank. I'd go shopping, do some landscaping, go get the mail, walk the alpaca, etc.
in style! Yours is the Best Comment!
and you never have to worry about speeding tickets!...or traffic jams LOL
@@mtlicq I'd help clear those traffic jams, I'm a good citizen.
@@beakerwick646 T
Thank you, I salute you, good citizen!
Quelle belle machine ! Bravo à l'ingénierie allemande.
Awesome. Is it just me or is that track tension a little loose?
Looks like it Ja, but just guessing it needs some degree of extra slack for rough terrain (bumps, berms, furrows, troughs, boulders or debris from other vehicles) instead of flat terrain, so it doesn't snap.
Nice video with good sound of the famous StuG III.
Thanks for showing us!
Always liked these tanks!
Schön das man so ein Fahrzeug mal in Bewegung sieht,sehr beeindruckend
What the Horten IX was in the air, this one is on the ground: compact, impressive, beautyful and dangerous.
That's probably the meanest looking armored vehicle. I've came across.
80+ year old German bad ass.
The grand old lady of tank destroyers goes for a walk in the park.
Nice! A real StuG III G late SdKfz142.
StUG III, bar. No. 311 of Sergeant Klein. from December 1944, Battle of the Bulge.
outstanding! thanks for the show
Estos tanques te atraen de una forma extraña, yo diría que son subliminales, el tiger y el stug son mis favoritos, son como leones en su jungla.
Love this stuff...been a tread head for decades....
Those duellies sure sound good!
Walking backwards while guiding an AFV is a pretty life shortening skill. Nice Stug though.
Awesome German engineering class 👍🏴
The 75mm was the Beast.
A beautiful late G version.
Has a rather distinctive sound. You see original footage but there’s no sound. Now you know the sound that meant trouble was there.
Germany's deadliest armored vehicle, even until now.
Nah by the numbers alone tigers and panthers had way more kills per individual unit. What the Sturmgeschütz lacked was a rotating turret. Made it useless in every engagement closer than half a kilometre even defensively, or in any offensive ways in close quarters or in any other role than support.
@@AbuHajarAlBugatti this complete bs the stug is credited with the most tank kills of any afv
Amazing machine thanks for sharing
Outstanding video and presentation
My favourite TD in world of tanks. But cannot seem to improve my winrate past 51% for some reason. It's actually my favourite TD from all time, this machine was superb on the real battle field.
My second favorite below the Cromwell.
@@AWACS_Eagle_Eye my two favorite tanks ever made man the stug and the cromwell nice
- Very effective in the Finnish front also.
Surprisingly quiet. The exhaust would give it away, eventually.
The coolest looking tank series ever made for me
Super cool
A running Stug is an awesome sight!
Awesome vehicle!
By Far my favorite German vehicle of WW2 … Apparently Germany liked it as well as it was around for the entire length of the war
It was an economic necessity as they could be manufactured cheaper and faster than a tank.
It was cheap bro. We wouldve made 10000 panthers if we could
ach einfach genial das teil , spiel das STUG 3 auch in Warthunder fast immer .
Stinking wonderful
Hermosura!!!! Segen!!!
I heard he's on his way to Ukraine now.
Awesome. Love the shape of this vehicle.
Outstanding! 👍🏻
El Stug fue el mejor blindado alemán...pequeño, barato y muy poderoso...
Maybach engine V12 still good working.
Best video of the Day
Spectacular
My personal favorite
when it turns , it looks cute
Crewing a Stug is a calling that not many answer, I've played them in World Of Tanks, in War Thunder, and in Panzer Knights, Stugs have a special place in my life.
Little MONSTER 👍🇬🇧
Does Stugs have oil filter? Nowadays most fuel are mixture of ethanol. it might clog the engines up and ruin it if it doesnt have filter.
My experience is with farm tractors and bull dozers, but to me, those track chains look a little loose. Maybe driving around a museum yard at 2 mph twice a year you run them loose to save wear on an 80 year old machine.
Very deadly!
I enjoyed the video but was wondering where was the video made?
Mantab 👍
BEASTIE
Probably one of the best tanks of the war. The ding dong with camera riding on top ruins a good video
Yeah totally agree would have been far better without him perched on top! ☠️
👍👍👍
Nice!
but
does it take glock mags?
Amazing machine ! Need to get the engine rebuilt by someone that knows what there doing ! Burning a lot of oil .
It’s normal for tanks
Love it❤❤❤
The a-hole perched on top with his GoPro really spoils the entire recording of this iconic AFV
Sounded so good it had me dog barking!
Its low profile made it a harder target to hit..As the Sherman was like a 2 story building
More importantly. Easier to conceal and harder to hit with rounds that have less of an arc.
Which means that you'll probably overshoot them if they hide in a forrest.
Excellent defensive armour. The engineers who drew up this knew what they were doing
The "Lion" unit insignia is Sturmartillerie Btl 190.
🏆🏆🏆👍🇺🇲🙏
Thank you for sharing.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👌👌 gracias por este video
Boy would I love to have one of these to drive to work. Traffic? What traffic?
This bad boy would be a threat against alot of tier 2 armies right now

only Sturmgeschütz III has no END!
Sturmgeschütz III will always stay by your side!
agreed
Stupefacente...🖤🇩🇪
Двигатель относительно тихо работает, это родные глушители или современные?
Думаю родные, немчура без комфорта не могла воевать.
I want one.
same ):
COOL thanks COOL
Smokey engine (as most or all ww2 Maybach engines I have seen running).
impressive...
