<strong>The</strong> Sturmhaubitze 42 was designed to give the StuG units some integral artillery support. It had the same<br />

chassis, size, and shape as the StuG III series vehicles, but was armed with a lower-velocity 105mm L/28<br />

howitzer for use against infantry, light vehicles, and emplacements. Between late 1942 and early 1945, 1,211<br />

StuH 42 were built.<br />

Options: Zimmerit antimagnetic mine coating, Schuerzen armor skirts, Saukopfblende mantlet.
