  StuH and StuG IV
Since the later versions of the StuG III with the long-barreled 75mm L/48 were mostly used in an antitank role, more armored artillery-vehicles were needed to support the infantry against soft and hidden targets.
The chassis of the PzKpfw IV was now also used to produce tank destroyers like the Jagdpanzer IV and the StuG IV.
Production of the StuG III was delayed in 1943 due to Allied bombing, and production capacity was continued partly by the firm Krupp which resulted in the StuG IV, which was the combination of the StuG III with the chassis of the PzKpfw IV.

 StuG IV
The turret and superstructure from the Pz.Kpfw.IV was replaced by a modified StuG III Ausf.G superstructure.

Other modifications to the Pz.Kpfw.IV and StuG III Ausf.G were also grafted onto StuG IV, like the Pz.Kpfw.IV's flash suppressing mufflers and the remote-control external machine gun mount.

The long barreled version of the Stug used a different round, but was the casing tapered similar to a Pzkw IV round or was it long and not tapered like a PaK 40 round?
And the for all intents and purposes, the StuK 40 round was the same as the KwK 40 round, both being shorter and wider and thus "tapered" compared with the longer, slimmer and "non-tapered" PaK 40 round.
Since the question was whether the round resembled the PaK 40 round or not, I assumed he was only thinking of the StuK/KwK 40.

 - Strategy tips and tactics for Company of Heroes: Axis Heavy Vehicles
The StuG is best used in groups of 2s so one can cover the other from being flanked and optimize firepower by flanking.
When you apply veteran upgrades to the Stug it gains multiple bonuses but the best bonus is the mounted MG that can actually suppress enemy infantry and allow the Stug to RUN OVER the infantry, you want to get your StuGs fully upgraded quickly so they can take more damage and do more damage!
Use Tigers to support your StuGs and you will have a powerful armored core unit that can spearhead into the enemy territory and penetrate the armor that comes to stop it.
