Or more acurately a “Sturmmörserwagen 606/4 mit 38 cm RW 61” or “Assault Tiger”

It was developed as an assault gun from 1943-1944 and was originally designed to bust fortifications. It’s was armed with a modified Kriegsmarine depth charge launcher that fired a 1.5 meter long, 380 mm, two stage rocket propelled, shaped charge warhead that could penetrate 2.5 meters of concrete at a stated 5650 meters. It was protected by 150 mm of steel plate angled back at 47 degrees on the superstructure, and by 100 mm of armor on the lower frontal plate angled at 25 degrees. The side and rear armor was 82mm thick. There are two surviving Sturmtigers and one surviving Raketen-Werfer, located in the bovington tank museum.

I like using this bad boy in Company of Heroes 2. Rapidly removes pesky dug in infantry with ease.

What are you waiting for? I’ve been replaying CoH2’s SP campaigns, including Ardennes Assault.

I have no time, no gaming computer and it doesn’t run on Mac. I sold my gaming computer a while ago.

When I do have free time, however, I usually play Civ 5 on the MacBook or GTA V on the Xbox.

Dear god if War Gaming was to put that into WOT...I’m not even sure what it’d be classified as! SPG or TD?

It was talked about a while ago, now it’s sort of an inside joke. If you play PC wot on the map severogorsk you can see it hiding in a garage. I think it would be impossible to ballance with a 380 rocket.

Hmm, never knew that! Also, it’d be hard to balance the T49/XM-551 with a TOW missile so that thing’s only able to fire HE and HEAT.
