when they said that the armour was like the tigers, they may have meant that the philosophy behind the distribution was the same that is to say that it was strong at the front and weak at the sides. this would be important for the crew to know, its effectively a warning to not show the sides of the tank to enemy fire.

I read/listened to something recently on the Sturmtiger that I found very interesting. Basically, the thought process is why would it need to be so heavily armored when it is so far away from actual action. You could literally put this mortar on something like a RSO and have the same effectiveness and have it much lighter.

I really enjoy the technical I formation here and am super excited to hear temperature actually being considered when referring to the ammunition ballistics . pressure rises or falls depending on if warmer or colder. This is a main reason it's not advisable to use military 5.56 x45mm in a .223 Remington chambered firearm. While it fits , the military cover design is specifically for high pressure and reliability and 223rem is made to tight varmint rifle tollorences , with much shorter lead/throat and much sharper rifling onset angle . On a hot day , the military ammo can destroy the .223 chambered gun from pressure spikes ,from the bullet having to overcome more resistance to leave it's case and engage the rifling . Which is already accounted for with .223. A cannon would be no different and range would increase or decrease noticably in different temperature extremes . Thankyou for the thought inspiring video.

Thank you for the great video. I have a picture of me infront of the very same Sturmtiger, since I visited the tank museum with a few friends a few months ago.

Thank you for this relevant tutorial!

I would love to see something like this on the smaller Brummbär assault gun armored vehicle. Fantastic informative video overall. As someone who's been around and fascinated by the old U.S. Army M728 CEV (with its massive 165mm demolition gun), and having seen it in action, I've always been fascinated with such vehicles. I'm still not sure why the U.S. Army never fitted its more modern Abrams based replacements to the M728 with a similar or large assault gun as the snub-nosed cannons also make them more practical in narrow streets in an urban environment or in a forested area where a long cannon can snag on trees.

Just had a Gordon Ramsey ad on this vid......... Ended up cooking a königstiger Then eating the sturmgevehr.

It actually called “Yeet and Delete”

Surprisingly accurate for such a large weapon with several kilometers range.

“ it takes awhile till the kitty roars” amen brother

this assumes all four would show up to the battlefield. I'm sure you'd be lucky to get one. a one-gun battery, with 22 rounds. real good use of resources that.

Ty for another great Video

Pay attention, potential dictators: This is what you do if you dont have enough fuel for bombers.

Do we know where the idea for the Stürmtiger came from? Was it supposed to be a bigger version of the Bummbär? I find it very strange that anyone thought "THAT is what we need!"

My thoughts exactly. A regular Tiger would have been more useful and if the turret ring was too badly damaged to repair make it into an AT design like the Jagdpanther. Germany was completely on the defense by the time these were built and ready for action with allied air forces roaming the skies loading these these things must have been especially nerve racking and the smoke they give off when firing would be exactly what fighter bomber pilots were looking for. Absolutely foolish thing to build. I can imagine someone saying Hey we have these big anti-sub bombs that are useless why don't we try them for land use but, somebody should've said that's a complete waste of a Tiger I chassis and we don't have enough tanks and tank hunters as it is.

Thanks! This helped me alot!

Fascinating! Thank you.

Isn't the shell of the Sturmtiger more of a gyrojet than a rocket, a bit like the "Werfergranate 21"?

yes but remember, these were not made to be read by enthusiasts who watch videos of a German guy explaining the finer points of WW2 vehicles. This is being used by a poorly educated guy who got drafted 3 months ago and only has a basic understanding of how the vehicle works. Thus simpler terminology. If you want a modern day example of this, try to get your hands on the operators manual and maintenance manual for the same military vehicle. You'll be amazing at how wrong, but simpler, the wording in the operators manual is compared to the technospeak of the maint manual.

The finer points of the distinction between the two would have been as lost on the average wehrmact soldier as they are on your average viewer today. Remember that the source is an operational manual not a technical manual and was likely simplified for the soldiers using the weapon.

@@nilloc93 I can vouch for this having used the technical manual for the Abrams tank when I served and then read the Army tank platoon manual recently. There is a huge difference in the terminology.

So the Sturmpanzer IV (Brummbaer) wasn't good enough. I presume there was a demand for heavier firepower and better armour protection. At least the Panzer IV chassis had more maneuverability and easier to repair and maintain compared to a Tiger.

"on average, 17.6 shots per kitty" that's a new unit i'll use for now on

Thanks, u helped me with my brand new sturmtiger

@Destyvirago

4 жыл бұрын

well, if you watched the video you would know that they where usually used together at the same time, in other words 4 SturmTigers would fire at the same area at the same time. Also each shell contains 125kg of explosives, so basically 4 shots equals 500kg of explosives at the target in one volley. One 15cm shell from a heavy artillery contains 5.1 kg of explosives, so to get the same effect on target you would need about 100 artillery guns firing at once to get the same effect. Basically they where the ultimate shock and awe weapon if you need a little piece of the enemy front line obliterated every 15 min or so. That said the 15cm heavy artillery guns where more useful overall since they didn't need the same planning and logistics to work, but there is something fascinating about a tank with a 380mm gun..

@@Destyvirago the heavy armour may have been justifiable for an army on the strategic offensive, but seems more of a liability for the Wehrmacht late in the war. The longish range of the mortar would suggest that a non or lightly armoured version would be more useful, increasing mobility, rate of fire, and decreasing logistical problems, without exposing the crew to excessive counter fire.

@matthewmcneany

One of the things that might be relevant is that over time people become desensitised, what might have been effective shock tactics in 1939 would not have had the same impact in 1944/5. The implication from the literature seems to have been that this was a weapon designed to be something of a focal point in assaults, deployed as much for the psychological impact it would have as the material one. Not to say you're wrong about it being an ineffective use of resources.

Mike Kent because you people are that much of a cliche that you think the Germans fell in a matter of hours after they invaded plane . You are *literally* a walking racial problem .

Just a note. The Sturmtiger in Munster is actually a captured examples shipped to the US. After examination, it was put on display at Aberdeen proving ground. When Aberdeen went through it’s revamp and reorganization, a lot of pieces were sent elsewhere. All of the tanks went to a new museum in Ft. Bennings. The Sturmtiger was sent to Munster on loan, where it is still displayed today.

First prototype of this vehicle was sent to level Warsaw during the Warsaw uprising (08/1944) and to help with demolition of the city after the rising. It was the very first version of it painted in standard issue dunkelgelb and without the flame deflector present in the later version used on the western front.
