ww2 pzkpfw iii ausf j 3D Модель

also known as: pzkpfw iii, panzer iii, sd. kfz. 141
the panzer iii was designed as a medium tank, with a high-velocity 37 mm. pre-war production was 98 vehicles. during the war, the pz iii was upgunned to a 50 mm l42, then to an even higher velocity 50 mm l60, in order to improve its anti-tank performance. a low-velocity 75 mm was also fitted (using the same mount as the early panzer iv), but since the tank was not large enough to fit a high-velocity 75 mm, production was halted mid-war, although the chassis continued to be used to build assault.

the panzer iii was the first tank to have a 3-man turret: the commander did not have to double up as a loader or aner, so he could concentrate on commanding the tank.
