I wanted to know when various weapons were introduced during WW2 so I could have scenarios that were vaguely historical in terms of equipment. I don’t promise that the below is totally correct, but it is the best I could come up with using the web.
I used this data for my Crossfire: Random Tanks page.
German
The StuG III was the most common German armoured vehicle of the war, and in particular the StuG III Ausf G was produced in more numbers than all the other StuGs combined. The StuG III was initially an anti-personnel assault gun but the long barreled versions increasingly took on a Tank Destroyer role. The long barreled versions were sometimes called StuG 40s, after their guns.
The PzKpfw IV was the most common German tank.
The L rating of the German guns is the length relative to the bore of the gun tube.
Zimmerit was coating to fend off hand-placed magnetic mines.
Schürzen (“aprons”) were side skirts to protect against infantry anti-tank weapons (originally Russian anti-tank rifles).
German Production Summary
The German table is based on the production figures published by Marcus Wendel. I have ignored production figures of less than 100 units in a year, except for certain Close Support Vehicles.
These numbers are a bit misleading as vehicles remained in use long after they were produced (I’d say roughly a year after they were produced). For example in 1943 the only Pz III produced was the Pz III Ausf N, but the Pz III was probably the most common tank at Kursk and earlier versions predominated (see Panzer IIIs at Kursk and Panzer IVs at Kursk on the Battlefront site).

Soviet
Designations for T-34/76
The T-34/76 was the most common Russian tank of the war. The Battle Front site mentioned new research revealing the scheme used by the Red Army to described T-34 tanks as follows:
| Distinguishing Feature | Correct Designation | Incorrect Designation previously used by Battle Front | German Designations |
|---|---|---|---|
| Short L-11 76.2mm tank gun, cast or welded two-man turret. | obr 1940 | T-34/76A | |
| Long F-34 76.2 mm gun, plus heavier armour, cast or welded two-man turret. | obr 1941 | T-34/76B | |
| Revised hull | obr 1941 (late) | obr 1942 | T-34/76C |
| Hexagonal Turret with twin, round hatches | obr 1942 | obr 1943 | T-34/76D. nicknamed “Mickey Mouse” by the Germans because of the twin turret hatches. |
| Fitted with cupola | obr 1942 (late) | obr 1943 (late) | T-34/76E |
| Cast turret with no cupola | ?? | T-34/76F |
The Stalingrad Tractor Factory produced a variant on the T-34/76 obr 1941 right until it ceased production in Oct 1942.
