Good direction. But it has an official designation which I want to hear.

You said Dummy weapons and extra crew member. To me that would suggest an Observer Tank for indirect fire control. A modern version of the Sherman OP tank where the gun was removed to make room for the radios and a wooden barrel put in place so as it could blend in with other vehicles and not draw unwanted attention and fire.

 

[ironduke57]

No. As BernDawg said it is an command vehicle.

Thx guys. To say the truth I never saw any tank/AFV in real. I was not even in the BW/army. (Classified as "unusable")

StuG III/IV

 

[TN2IC]

Stug III is right... but which country? Look at their uniforms hard.

 

[ironduke57]

IMO you don´t even have to look at the uniform´s to see the most likely origin of it.

[TN2IC]

Okay the uniforms are hard to see... It is a Finnish Stug III Ausf G. Nice try guys. But I"ll give up my glory spot and pass it on to Larry since he was the closest.
