No need, I've already been "up from the bottom", down from the top and sideways a couple of times. There are no BMG's left on any of those vehicles in the OOB's no matter what they are named and SPMBT's been checked as well

Not anymore anyway. I looks like you could put one where that hole is though...

I found another one. There is a IIIf under Norway with a BMG. It is unit #129.

There is also no MG34 AAMG in the Norway weapons list so that might need to be added as well.

That's a very staged destroyed StuG,

An AP hit doesn't make a star-shaped hole like that,unless it was made of glass.

looks like the Canuks used a hacksaw on it for dramatic effect.

Please at least TRY to pay attention

Two posts up I told you and everyone else ALL of the Stug III's, no matter what they were called in both SPWW2 and SPMBT have been accounted for and dealt with and that INCLUDES the Norewegian version in SPww2 which, BTW, was deleted along with every other unit in SPWW2 that had a start date after the games end date of 12/46 so there is little point in adding a MG34 AAMG for a unit that no longer exists .

Hard armour plate can be quite brittle and will crack and shatter like this when hit. There is plenty of pictures of German AFVs from WWII where the armour has cracked and split like the gun mantlet on the "canadian" StuG.

I've seen a photo of a panther with similar damage to the turret.

While not quite the same as in the picture, the Panzer IV/70 A at the Musee de Blindes in Saumur, France, is is a classic example of cracked armour.
