Sturmtiger

The Sturmtiger was a German assault vehicle built on a Tiger tank chassis and armed with a very large rocket-assisted mortar weapon. Intended for attacks on heavily fortified positions and urban strongpoints, it sacrificed the flexibility of a conventional turreted tank for extreme destructive effect. Only a small number were completed during the later Second World War. Its exceptional ammunition and loading requirements underline why it was a specialized assault weapon rather than a practical replacement for ordinary armored forces.

The vehicle’s large projectile required special handling, and the crew needed time and space to reload. Those limitations made its intended targets and operating conditions very different from those of an ordinary tank engagement.
