Thus the answer is clear, the MG34 has the advantage of “open swing” when it comes to changing the barrels.
Favorite Assault Gun/ Tank Destroyer
-
What’s your favorite tank destroyer?
-
Elephant no doubt
-
M10, due to its versatility. A close second would have to be the Jagdpanther.

The Hetzer all the way.
Low silouette good to hide anywhere.
Attack and retreat and then attack from somewhere else again! -
Since a kid I always loved the look of the Czech 38 tank, so I had to pick the Marder II.
-
Jagdpanther. It is beautiful and armed with the 88mm L/71 PaK 43, the same gun fitted to the King Tiger.
There were never many of them, but they made a difference when they were used.Only a Company saw action in Normandy: the 2nd of the 654Battalion. On the 30th July 3 of them attacked 3 Suadrons of Churchills from the 6Th Guards Tank Brigade. Before they realised they were outnumbered and retreated, they destroyed 11 Churchills. Unfortunately, two of these Jagdpanthers had to be abandoned with track damage.

Ditto. I have a plastic model of one at home.

I still have a Matchbox(I think) 1-72 dark blue one I made as a 10 year old. Tracks still attached. Not abandoned at Caumont l’Evente’.

Jagdpanther all day, I mean how can u argue with a gun that hurls shells 35,000 ft into the sky,
As cool as an elephant is, its to big,bulky, and lacked anti inf def. Weapons.
My to big for my britches non turreted assault vehicle is the Sturm Tiger -
The glorious ISu-152 looked upon it, and said it was wrong, and it smote it from afar with it’s giant ass cannon, and said that it was good.

I think you meant Marder III ,AB Worsham :-D
-
Close second would be the Nashorn “rhinoceros”.
As for an Assault Gun, I go with StuG III G.
-
Any of the Panzer aces-they truly destroyed a lot of tanks.
Seriously though, I would choose the Sturmtiger-I just find it interesting how it launches rocket propelled mortars rather than normal shells, even if the vehicle was never used as intended.
