The Sturer Emil is a German tank destroyer designed to engage and destroy enemy heavy tanks. It was equipped with a powerful 12.8 cm cannon, similar to the main guns of the Jagdtiger and Maus. Its armor-piercing shells had excellent penetration and could effectively engage heavily armored vehicles. However, this formidable firepower came with many drawbacks, which limited its production and combat use. So, how is the “Stubborn Emil” like in War Thunder, and how can you make the most of its strengths? Read on to find out.

This guide is about the history to the 10,5 cm StuH 42 L/28. These guns were the mainstay of the German Army, from prewar till the very end. With performance upgrades along its life, it was effectively used in a multitude of roles such as direct support/assault artillery fire and counter artillery. The close up field support was effective against structures, infantry and tanks using a wide array of ammo types. It was only late in the war to be replaced by longer barreled variants such as L/30 and L/35. Being a formidable gun both in-game as well as IRL. It was used on all fronts, upgraded over time and used by multiple nations.

The Bandkanon was a Self-Propelled Artillery Gun developed by Bofors from 1960 to 1965. It was part of a longer Swedish Army project to develop a modern autoloaded SPAG for its forces. The Bkan was based on the S-tank chassis and initially used the powerpack of the A version, which was severely underpowered to drive this 50-ton tank. Because of this, all Bkans were later upgraded to the powerpack of the Strv 103C, giving it the 1C designation.
