StuG
III Ausf F8
- StuG III Ausf. F/8:
(Sd.Kfz 142/1; September–December 1942, 250 produced) Introduction
of an improved hull design similar to that used for the Panzer III
Ausf. J / L with increased rear armour. This was 8th version of the
Panzer III hull, thus the designation "F/8". This hull has
towing hook holes extending from side walls. From October 1942, 30 mm
thick plates of additional armour were bolted (previously welded) on
to speed up the production line. From F/8, the 7.5
cm StuK 40 L/48 gun was standard until the last
of the Ausf. G. Due to the lack of double baffle muzzle
brakes, a few L/48 guns mounted on F/8s were fitted with the
single baffle ball type muzzle brake used on the Panzer IV Ausf. F2/G.
