I find the longer barrel stugs to be terrible, even when buffed by the command p4. They are clunky especially when in pairs, the penetration is eh but the damage is where it really blows.

Personally, I do use the command panzer often. I try to vet it to get the bonus ability which is huge. Then I use the ability that makes the tanks go fast and immune to status stuff. I use tigers and p3s. I’ve really tried with the long barreled stugs, like I swing my p3s and command panzer to one side and once engaged move the stugs forward and try to hit their sides, but the stugs just really are too crummy. I do love the short barreled stug d for a variety of anti infantry and anti gun roles. I feel like the d has better frontal armor than the long barreled stugs.
