Hey Darth, love these threads as well. But educate me, how is it not a tank? It’s armored, on tracks, has big gun? Also, do you do planes, I don’t remembe?. I’m talking WWII planes

Thanks. Basically it isn’t a tank because it lacks the heavy armor and a turret like a tank. This vehicle is based on the T34/85 tank. Basically the reason the Soviets and Germans built “assault guns” was they were cheaper to make than tanks and allows they formations to bolster their tank killing capability on the defensive.
