Pak 38

Description
Ligth medium anti tank gun able to penetrate most ligth tanks and most medium tanks if able to flank.

History
Devloped as the kwk 39 to arm the panzer 3 and replace the obsolete short 50mm kwk 38. (the pak 38 is a carriage mounted version of the kwk 39) Later in 1943 the production of these guns was stopped in favour of heavier guns able to penetrate the now more heavily armoured t34 without using the very expensive tungsten rounds, germany being very low on tungsten at the time.
