Re: Assault guns vs. tanks
I have to agree that those StuGs with long guns are pretty respectable, especially when they are in a good defensive position where it is difficult to outflank them (so immobilisation is less of a problem).
As for keeping assault guns in reserve, they can also be used for moving your infantry reserve into a position. For example, SU-122 assault gun can carry a full infantry squad and has the same speed as a GAZ truck, but better cross-country mobility outside roads. Both tend to provide pretty meager protection to your infantry though, so better not to keep them loaded or even very close to the transports unless really necessary.
