Poor armour on the sides limit the StuG III’s incredible offensive capabilities to frontal assaults, while the blessing of its stopping fire comes with an ineptitude for long range combat. Put that all together and you’ve got the ultimate early level street fighter.
Angled armour around the turret means you’ll have a distinct advantage against enemies on the same plane as you. Originally designed as a mobile assault gun, this tank destroyer is best employed on the move and in close quarters. Sloped armour, a devastating main gun and impeccable handling make the StuG III a formidable tier 1 vehicle. If you’re after a solid all rounder that’ll keep you in the fight, this is the tank for you. Additionally, the T-50 struggles where firepower is concerned, making disabling enemies challenging unless properly modified with APCR shells. Driving this tank at high speed makes damaging the tracks very easy, especially for newcomers to the game. The T-50’s main downfall is a result of its greatest strength. Whether the enemy spots you or not, this tank will be able to get around all bar the best of War Thunder players and wreak havoc from behind enemy lines. In tier 1 however, the T-50 is best employed in pincer movements where its excellent armour and high speed come into their own. Light, agile and well armoured, the T-50 is used even in tier 2 battles thanks to its proficiency as a scout tank.
