    A while ago I made a video saying that Gaijin should not add the infamous Sturmtiger (aka 38cm Sturmorser) to War Thunder, as it would probably be both frustrating to use and play against. After getting a test drive for the ungainly heavy tank turned assault vehicle, I think I was more or less correct. The 380mm rocket has abysmal velocity and loves to do no damage sometimes. It also can be destroyed if someone shoots the barrel, sending you back to the hangar real quick. Don't get me wrong, it's definitely fun for a bit, but it does get old.

      Imo worst thing about sturmtiger in game is the fact that rangefinder give you for example "1100m" for a target, but it really stays at 1170m, so have you idea how much time and shots are you gonna lose before actually hit the target?

    I was playing around with the protection analysis for the 38cm shell yesterday, and saw something that almost made me spit out my drink. If you simulate a 38cm shell going into one of the big stowage boxes on the side of the Boarhound, the armor deformation goes so crazy that the stowage box balloons out taller than the turret and about half the length of the vehicle. If you simulate the round hitting one of the Soviet AA trucks, the armor deformation is so extreme that the truck basically ceases to exist. It’s incredible to look at.

    My favorite Sturmtiger story is the only one where it was recorded with tank kills. A Sturmtiger on the western front was ordered to destroy a bridge over a river in France to slow the allied advance, so the Sturmtiger in question went to a hill overlook of the bridge, took aim, and fired. What supposedly happened is that it severely overshot the bridge, and just happened to land in between 5 Shermans in an American camp that were refueling, and destroyed all of them. Reasonably, the Sturmtiger fucked off after that bc a 38cm rocket randomly annihilating 5 mediums at once would raise some alarms among the enemy

      The type 75 is definitely one of the favorite vehicles in the whole game. The trick is to aim at roofs and for American heavies, aim directly at their turret cheeks for sontant kills. The proximity fuse is incredibly fun as well. You can also shoot below their tracks to destroy tanks. Just never try to kill tanks from the sides, there's nothing to pen there.
