This one is the stock version of a component called 15cm s.IG (sfl). The true vehicles was this one:


sIG 33 auf Pz III was the true name. Bison called sometimes. DAK sIG 33 auf Pz III were different because they had almost no casemate.
There were more of those vehicles since XXXXVIII PzK received a dozen for the relief attempt under Sturm IG Bttr/Lehr.Abt.17 which is missing.

Next post I will post about Balkas and how they are underrepresented in the scenario. (in almost every scenario where the Balka is a "Yar" type)[/color


If the above graphic was applied to sIG 33 auf PZ III then that's an issue with the graphics coordinator whoever used that game image - that is clearly a 15 cm sIG 33 (auf Pzkw I Ausf B) - the type used in the Blitzkrieg years as an early form of German self-propelled artillery ... however I believe it couldn't really be used for indirect fire.

To be honest I think they thougth the vehicles were auf Pzkw I Ausf B, most common than the later, since only 24 were built.
Yesterday I forgot mention in rare units, so let's fix it.

LW Schwere units:
1./s.LW.J.G.Batl.I(300 men, 45x le.MG, 18x s.MG, 2x le.GrW, 4x s.GrW.) A single company with such enormous firepower! 

4./s.LW.J.G.Batl.I [Also known as Flak Kampftrupp Daiber. Note this unit is spelled as Daiber, Daibert, Dalber, Deibert, Deiber]

4./s.Fla.MG-Btl.Z 66 (mot) It had 5 officers and 230 men. This Kompanie was truly unique, being the only one of its type in existence. It was formed from young, elite paratroopers and contained four platoons: two were equipped with 5cm anti-tank guns: the other two with 2cm anti-aircraft guns.

Estonian Schuma.Abt.36 "Arensburg" (447 men they gained 42 Iron Crosses alone durng the battle)

Gruppe Von Pannwitz: Cossacks from Ataman Pavlov's Self-Defense Forces organized into the Kalmücken Schwadrons (I & II./16 and I & II./66) More than 1000 cossacks.

Karpovka Garrison. (Alexandru Serbanescu, who had a lot of infantry experience, organized the defence of the airfield. He used the two romanian AAA batteries (one 37 mm and one 75 mm battery) and the guns on the airplanes, which were raised on barrels, plus two companies of Feldbattaillon Immelmann to repulse the initial Soviet assault. Throughout the morning, most of the attacking Soviet rifle divisions had failed to break through Romanian defenses until sufficiently supported by tanks and cavalry.)
