[edit] Main gun

Why do some people think that the initial production vehicles were armed with the Pak 43 and not Pak 43/1? The weapon called just 'Pak 43' was a towed antitank gun, whereas the weapon's vehicle mounted versions had an additional number after a slash, e.g. Pak 43/1 (Nashorn) or Pak 43/3 (Jagdpanther).

Because it's a minor issue - given that the distinction between the gun in the PaK43 and 43/1 is minimal compared to the diffreence between a Pak 43 and a FLaK 37. GraemeLeggett 12:47, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
