@davidk6269 Germany generally put the driver on the left, which meant the hull MG had to go on the right. On this mod, its high up on the superstructure. I guess because the right side was stacked with ammo. The Panzer IV/70 was supposed to have two hull MGs one on each side, but the one on the left was deleted on production. That's the only one I can think of.

The HEAT was for penetrating concrete bunkers. It wasn't intended to fight tanks.

@davidk6269 IDK. Its possible the driver stood up and manned the MG or whomever happened to be handy. This was not the kind of vehicle that did "fire and manuver".

@Ghostmaxi1337 The Sturmpanzer wasn't an anti-tank gun. The HEAT could attack tanks of course, but its purpose was to reduce enemy fortifications and troops. That is why it was paired with the Elefants. They provided the heavy AT fire, while the Sturms shelled the infantry.
