How important are speed, reliability and shoot and scoot?
Anthony F Wengraitis posted a comment on the M18 after I shared a video on Facebook: “Which really isn’t saying much when you compare it to a StugIII.”
Which had me looking at the Combat HQ statistics for the StuG III Ausf G and the M18 “Hellcat” Gun Motor Carriage to see how they rated using the Army Builder Points System.
Points Cost
- StuG III Ausf G = 99 points
- M18 GMC = 106 points
The M18 costs 7 more points than the StuG III; an increase of 6.8%. It’s not a great difference, but it’s still a difference. So if the StuG is superior to the M18, why does an M18 cost more points?
