StuG 40 Ausf F/8 (StuG III Ausf F/8)

The StuG III Ausf F was upgunned and fitted with the KwK 40 L/48. The new gun resulted in some being referred to as StuG 40. The higher velocity gun transformed the StuG III from an infantry support vehicle to a tank destroyer. The Ausf F/8 incorporated an improved hull design based on the Pz Kpfw III Ausf J/L with increased rear armour (The 8 designating the 8th Pz Kpfw III chassis) Between September and December 1942 around 250 Ausf F/8 were built.
