Is the StuG3G underrated by Axis community?

It happens all the time.
Log in, finds an city that looks like an fairly good battle.. Then it's time to spawn. Checking out whats avaible, heading to armor section.. A couple of StuG3G's, maybe 1 38T, and an 3H if lucky. Why is this? It have an excelent aim, packs a punch, and got a low profile. Alright, it got no MG, it got no tower giving it a limited view. But when used right, it just packs a damn punch.
In the current campaign, i got a 4 K/D against enemy ET's with it. Killing 6+ ET's in an sortie isn't really unlikely, it eats Sherms and M10s well beyond 1km. What is your view on this excelent mobile gun?

    Its a very good weapon if you have a spotter and infantry support

    I prefer the 38(t) myself....

    Back when I played, that was the best gun you could get on the axis side, but also the least armor hehe (And no, I'm not counting the PzKw II)

    Used to be a thrill to lead 5-10 panzers in a flanking manouver, sneaking behind hills and forrests to avoid being seen..and then WHAM, hitting the enemy city from behind...

    The longest flanking manouver we ever did, took us 2 and a half hour...We were spotted by planes, and had to change plans a few times, not to risk going into an ambush.

    That's a 6,5 K/D versus all non-inf. And yes, sappers are a pain in the butt :)

    i think what turns players off from using a stug3g is the lack of mg same as with the m10.   both very weak when it comes to handling infantry.  that and the stug is very easy to flank.  however frontally its only matched by the tiger in withstanding hits.
