same for stuIIIg. in april 1943 they cost 70 pts, in june 1943 100 pts, and again the improvement seems to lie only in the side armor...

same for pzIVj and pzIVj+
Try counting the special ammo loads - i.e. HVAP and HEAT. Some have more HE - usually a cheaper round than plain AP.

Also, side armour is costed more than frontal armour since there is a far greater area to cover. Either 1.5 or twice the equivalent front or rear, AFAIR.
