John Kettler Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 wunwinglow, Technically, it was an adaptation from a static antisubmarine rocket launcher for harbor defense. The Sturmtiger (casemated assault conversion of Tiger I chassis) itself was developed in response to German streetfighting inadequacies exposed in Stalingrad. The idea was to field a heavily armored weapon capable of demolishing even the heaviest strongpoint, like the famous Pavlov's House, with one shot. Considering the warhead has as much HE as a 250 lb. bomb, this is eminently doable. The Sturmtiger is one of the deadliest weapons in CMBB, and close counts. Offsetting this astronomic firepower is enormous reload time. Remember that crane on the roof? A must for reloading a 761 lb. rocket!
