Ok so your saying you cant compare the STuG III (or any of the StuG models) to any other AFV unless it is an assualt gun, you cant compare the honey to the puma, the sexton (priest) to the Hummel (wespe, nashorn) because you can because they are all 'battle tank' both are key words.
All of the AFVs you have mentioned here are not tanks you would rely on to achieve a Breakthrough, the StuG has no turret so will just get a 75/76/57mm shell into it's side.

while the Stuart, honey and the t-70's don't have the fire power, so they scout see a tank and run, great tactic.
These vehicles where not designed to fight tanks. Like you said, they run away upon seeing a Panzer. If you want to have a large, slow and heavily armed and armoured tank to scout, then you might as well use your entire army. Besides, a small tank is hard to spot from inside a tank Turret, so It isn't exactly hard to get away when you have a small and fast vehicle.
Sextons, Priests and Hummels are not tanks at all. They are Artillery vehicles. designed to fire shells over many miles. Sending one into battle is even something my cat would not do.
'Battle Tank'. Where did you get that designation from anyway?
