In the first half of 1942 two AFV's arrive on the East Front that between them end the dominance of the T-34/76 and KV-1 at a stroke.
The first is the PzIIIJ (late) in April, its gun is only average (until it gets tungsten) but its front armour is very difficult for the Russians to penetrate, and the second is the Sturmgeschutz IIIF (late) in June whose gun can easily take out both Russki types, AND its front can't be penetrated by them.
Make sure you buy the right models, the Pz IIIJ (late) has 70mm armour, and the Stug IIIF (late) has 80mm.
Later on, other models will have the same armour and may come cheaper but these babies were the first.
