The Stug III Ausf. G mit 2 cm Flak 38 was a Modification ordered by Oberbefehlshaber Schwab. (see top left of photos)
I would like to see the Stug III Ausf. G with 2 cm Flak 38.
It is rather unique, it has the gun on the back (which should be implemented as a ghostgun like .50 cals and controlled by the commander from the inside, an aditional crew member would be an easy crit. Assist without damaging the actual vehicle.)
It has 2 commanders cupolas, the loaders hatch was replaced, with a modified version with 4 plates fixed on hatches, which fall outwards when not in use, which should be implemented as such. The loader should remain in the hull, and the gunshields lowered down, they would act as improved roof armor and would not be in the way of the 20mm Gun.
I could unfortunately find no Documents to that exept 4 Glass negatives (owned by Akira Takiguchi)
The last one looks “Fake” because of added paint on the glass for security purposes ( other side of the picture 1 )
The 2cm Flak 38 would perform the same like in game and would have a Ap-I Hei-T Ap-I Hei-T belt because of ballance and use against planes and
light ground vehicles
Cince the Stug III Ausf. G has only 11 mm of top armor (Should be 17mm tho) it is very Vulnerable to planes.
With this modification you can compare the Stug III Ausf. G (4.0) with the American M10 (4.0) Both are about 40 kmph , have similar gun performance , are vurnerable to planes but have a powerfull secondary armarment against Planes and Light ground vehicles.
Dr. Otto Schwab’s Personal Records shows that he was:
Insp. SS-V.T.(3): 09.11.1939
SS-Führ.H.-Amt Kdo.Amt d. W-SS: 18.12.1940
SS-Führungs-Hauptamt, Amt.V: 21.01.1942

He was born in Geiß Nidda, Kreis Oberhessen. He attended Techn.Hochschule Darmstadt from 1908 to 1914 (Dipl.Ex, Dr.Ing.1933).
He was awarded the German Cross in Silver (Kriegsorden des Deutschen Kreuzes in Silber) on 12.11.1944 as Chef des Technischen Amtes der Waffen-SS. Schwab didn’t need to see combat to receive this award - the German Cross in Silver was, “awarded for honorable military service in the execution of the war effort, while the German Cross in Gold was awarded for outstanding achievement in combat.” (Angolia: For Führer and Fatherland - Military Awards of the Third Reich, p.328).
John P. Moore’s “Führerliste der Waffen-SS” shows him still as Kommandeur SS-Art.Schule I in February, 1945.
