Some reconnaissance. An unmarked T-50 breached the Finnish lines and drove off the embankment in Kolatselkä-Aunus, August 1941.

Seth, that's a good reference how the commanders view on the StuG III (or the scissors periscope) should look like - from Ausf. A to G.

That's too bad. I guess no Sfl.Z.F.1a for Jagdpanther either?

Pick StuG III Ausf. G LATE and press F3. It's the same exact reticle as on artillery observation posts with SF14Z scissors periscope.

Never really considered that a "commander's periscope" tbh. more like a guy spotting with binoculars outside the hatch. but you can think of it that way if you want.

Well there's no guy outside the hatch.
In reality, 10:1 magnification of the scissors periscope provided better observation of the target area than the binoculars. Moreover, the aiming sights of the StuG were superior to those of the tanks (2.5:1) or AT-guns (3:1). This is one of the reasons that attributed to the combat effectiveness and the higher armour kill rates of the Sturmartillerie.

Recovery of a Sherman that fell into a bomb crater, breaking a tread. Saint-Gilles, Manche, late July 1944.
