Gaijin was kind of enough to allow Stick and me early access to the Sturmtiger. I had some reservations and I would like to see a few things done better with it, (reload, firing animation, etc.) but overall, it is actually quite freaking fun. If you are able, I recommend unlocking it while you have the opportunity!

Yesss! you finally played it, thank you!
It's the BONK tiger
Not enough explosive radius and penetration, only 20mm more pen than 15cm, but so so so much more tnt
Feel like it needs lower br just cause of how long it takes to reload,how it is at long range and how there is a massive hole in the middle of the vehicle
That grind most have been a nightmare to do. Even if i try to do them i would of destroyed my Screen from pure rage 😩 (Yes i fucking suck at this game so shut up on the "git good" shit) I still think the dev's should tone what the players who are new or low ranked should play against because new/low ranked players should Not play with players who are high ranked. Makes the game somewhat unfair 🤦♂️
70% reloading
25% missing
5% killing
100% worth it
1% Pain/Russian Bias
100% gaijin not understanding how HE works
@@smolwavingsnail9028 its a good thing this is a game and about having fun then, hey?
@@markgregory983 except having your HE just derp regularly and not do what it should isn't fun, hey ?
@@smolwavingsnail9028 again, its a game, program, computer rng generation. You want perfect realism, go travel the world and join a war somewhere. Otherwise, stop being a bitch about something that doesnt really matter.
This is the only vehicle I am not ashamed to buy.
You can't buy it
@@alexanderandersson4093 you can spend GE to complete the tasks to effectively buy it.
@@alexanderandersson4093 yes you can.
I think it will be available for the marketplace
Stop it. Get some help.
KV-2: I'm not afraid of anything but that thing.
Sturmtiger
KV-2: That scares me.
KV-2: I fear no man.
KV-2: But that... thing..
Sturmtiger
KV-2: It scares me.
(Funny TF2 reference!!!)
Kv2 at least could have defended itself the sturtiger had no way of taking on other tanks it was designed to take out buildings and fortifications
@@davidsmallwood1663 well technically both were designed to do the same thing
@@juanjorge751 the sturmtiger seems to fire the equivalent of a 500lbs bomb in terms of blast radius in the video
@@davidsmallwood1663 so was the kv2 wasn’t it?
idk
This tanks brings tactical artillery to a whole other level
Technically, it was infantry support.
@@KibuFox artillery was for infantry support
@@turtlepowa This was a more direct infantry support, so like the short barreled Stug that only fired HE. Ideally, the Stumtiger was meant to take out bunkers, or fortifications. It was also expected to operate relatively close to the enemy. At range (the furthest they're recorded as having fired from is about a mile) accuracy dropped off severely. To the point that there's no actual record of them actually hitting anything.
There's an oft quoted incident from the battle of Remagen, where the Germans were trying to stop the US from seizing and repairing the bridge, where three Sturmtigers were firing on it. Part of the quote people give is how during that battle, 3 shermans were apparently destroyed with a single shot. People attribute it to Sturmtigers, but part of the issue there is that dive bombers (Ju 88) were taking part in the same operation, and were dropping 1000kg bombs at the same time. There's no actual evidence that the Sturmtiger actually did the shot that killed the Shermans, and some serious evidence that it was one of the bombers.
The Sturmtiger was intended work at distances between 300m, and 500m to get the best accuracy. Anything above that wasn't likely to actually hit.
@@KibuFox don't talk stupidly. This tank was neither artillery nor support. This tank was designed to demolish buildings
everything in that general direction must die!
I think "derp gun" has been redefined. What a monster.
Derp gun more like God gun
I just played the sturmpanzer 2 and ... Yeah makes its reload quite quick
The Sturmtiger is basically the WT equivalent of "To whom it may concern..."
You guys made some impressive shots! Fantastic video! Thank you Bo, Fate, Stickboy, Hambone and Demonedwolf!! 💜
Hope you had an amazing time with it. You are my favorite TH-camr and I enjoy always coming and watching you and the TBLF crew. Hope you had a wonderful day.
So this is what TBLF can do with one Sturmtiger...imagine a four man squad of them!
M22 Locust comes along...
ST 1: "I'm reloading!"
ST 2: "Reloading!"
ST 3: "Reload!!!!"
ST 4: "FASTER LOADER!"
Locust: *FEASTS*
Ya know, when i first saw this tank i figured it would just be a meme tank, but Bo did way better than i thought possible. Good job Bo. Love the vids guys!!!! Good job on supporting bo in combat.
“Get your barrel outta my hole!”
Bo - 2022.
"Look at my mark on his face!"
Bo - 2022
The face on Sticks sturm tiger literally screams violence is the only option
Okay, that was incredible. From the banter, to the kills, to the fish eyes everything was just amazing. Nice that you finished the video with an ammo rack, bit of fireworks to conclude the video. Loved it! Thanks for the great content, Bo, Stick, Ham, Fate and Demon!
Those were some fantastic shots. I have to say the Sturmtiger seems to be far better than I had anticipated
Congratulations on acquiring the ground launched MOAB
My jaw hit the floor after I saw that BTR-ZD kill Bo by shooting the rocket in the breech. Mad respect to him, and awesome video from the TBLF as always!
Yeah, pretty funny haha.
Thank You for filling this void of darkness as I can't sleep.
Why do I have a feeling that this thing be the backup to some rank 6 valet-warriors.
Not mine though, 35000 on ground battles only is way too much for something I'd only use a few times just to troll.
For a tank that was designed for urban infantry support, (basically a block buster), it does one hell of a good job as a tank destroyer
Turns out a mortar the size of a small child is a good weapon for destroying anything below a naval vessel lol
Love how literally the second kill of the video is a BT-5
"I need to reload so I'm gonna sit here and..."
Demon: "Cry?"
🤣
Sturmtiger (German for 'Assault Tiger') was a World War II German assault gun built on the Tiger I chassis and armed with a 380mm rocket-propelled mortar. The official German designation was Sturmmörserwagen 606/4 mit 38 cm RW 61. Its primary task was to provide heavy fire support for infantry units fighting in urban areas. The few vehicles produced fought in the Warsaw Uprising, the Battle of the Bulge and the Battle of the Reichswald. The fighting vehicle was known by various informal names, among which the Sturmtiger became the most popular.
Development
The idea for a heavy infantry support vehicle capable of demolishing heavily defended buildings or fortified areas with a single shot came out of the experiences of the heavy urban fighting in the Battle of Stalingrad in 1942. At the time, the Wehrmacht had only the Sturm-Infanteriegeschütz 33B available for destroying buildings, a Sturmgeschütz III variant armed with a 15 cm sIG 33 heavy infantry gun. Twelve of them were lost in the fighting at Stalingrad. Its successor, the Sturmpanzer IV, also known by Allies as Brummbär, was in production from early 1943. This was essentially an improved version of the earlier design, mounting the same gun on the Panzer IV chassis with greatly improved armour protection.
While greatly improved compared to the earlier models, by this time infantry anti-tank weapons were improving dramatically, and the Wehrmacht still saw a need for a similar, but more heavily armoured and armed vehicle. Therefore, a decision was made to create a new vehicle based on the Tiger tank and arm it with a 210 mm howitzer. However, this weapon turned out not to be available at the time and was therefore replaced by a 380 mm rocket launcher, which was adapted from a Kriegsmarine depth charge launcher.
In September 1943 plans were made for Krupp to fabricate new Tiger I armoured hulls for the Sturmtiger. The Tiger I hulls were to be sent to Henschel for chassis assembly and then to Alkett where the superstructures would be mounted. The first prototype was ready and presented to Adolf Hitler in October 1943. Delivery of the first hulls would occur in December 1943, with the first three Sturmtiger completed by Alkett by 20 February 1944.
Due to delays, Hitler did not request production of the weapon until 19 April 1944; twelve superstructures and weapons would be prepared and mounted on rebuilt Tiger I chassis. The first three production series Sturmtiger were completed by Alkett in August 1944. Plans to complete an additional seven from 15 to 21 September 1944 were presented to Hitler in a conference on 18-20 August 1944. Ten Sturmtiger were produced in September, along with an additional five in December 1944.
Hitler had laid great importance on the special employment of the Sturmtiger and believed it would be necessary to produce at least 300 rounds of ammunition per month.
Design
The Sturmtiger was based on the late model Tiger I, keeping its hull and suspension. The front of the Tiger's superstructure was removed to make room for the new fixed casemate-style fighting compartment housing the rocket launcher. This was located directly at the front of the vehicle, giving it a boxy appearance.
Compared to the Tiger tank, the Sturmtiger was much shorter overall, only 6.28 m (20 ft 7 in) compared to the Tiger's 8.45 m (27 ft 9 in), due largely to the fact that it did not have the long main gun of the latter which protruded far in front of the hull. It also was slightly lower than the Tiger at 2.85 m (9 ft 4 in) compared to 3 m (9 ft 10 in).
Armour
Since the Sturmtiger was intended for use in urban areas in close range street fighting, it needed to be heavily armoured to survive. Its sloped (at 47° from vertical) frontal armor therefore was 150 mm (5.9 in) thick, while its superstructure side and rear plates were 82 mm (3.2 in) thick. The hull front was 100 millimetres (3.9 in) or 150 millimetres (5.9 in) if it had an additional armor plate fitted. This pushed the weight of the vehicle up from the 57 t (56 long tons; 63 short tons) of the Tiger I to 68 t (67 long tons; 75 short tons).
Armament
The main armament was the 380 mm Raketen-Werfer 61 L/5.4, a breech-loading barrel, which fired a short-range, rocket-propelled projectile roughly 1.5 m (4 ft 11 in) long. There were a variety of round types with a weight of up to 376 kg (829 lb), and a maximum range of up to 6,000 m (20,000 ft), which either contained a high explosive charge of 125 kg (276 lb) or a shaped charge for use against fortifications, which could penetrate up to 2.5 m (8 ft 2 in) of reinforced concrete. The stated range of the former was 5,650 m (6,180 yd). A normal charge first accelerated the projectile to 45 m/s (150 ft/s), the 40 kg (88 lb) rocket charge then boosted this to about 250 m/s (820 ft/s).
The design of the rocket system caused some problems. The hot rocket exhaust could not be vented into the fighting compartment nor could the barrel withstand the pressure if the gasses were not vented. Therefore, a ring of ventilation shafts was put around the barrel which channeled the exhaust and gave the weapon something of a pepperbox appearance.
Due to the bulkiness of the ammunition, only fourteen rounds could be carried internally, of which one was already loaded, with another in the loading tray. The rest were carried in two storage racks. To help with the loading of ammunition into the vehicle, a loading crane was fitted at the rear of the superstructure next to the loading hatch. Even then, the entire five-man crew had to help with the loading.
It was intended that each Sturmtiger would be accompanied by an ammunition carrier built on the same Tiger I chassis, but only one carrier was completed.
Located at the rear of the loading hatch was a Nahverteidigungswaffe launcher which was used for close defence against infantry in addition to a frontal mounted 7.92 mm MG 34 machine gun.
They need to fix it so that the round only appears in the barrel once you are reloaded.
Well if they are going to bring that into the game, then I guess I will sit here patiently and wait for the Churchill AVRE to be added sometime with its 230mm Petard Spigot Morter, much larger gun then the Centurion AVRE's pee shooter >:)
Pee? shooter?
You mean peashooter?
Even better would be the Churchill ‘Ardeer Aggie’, basically the British equivalent of the Sturmtiger.
4:17 Sticks laugh, god damn.
I’m so happy that you mentioned COH2! And this video was very fun to watch!
I'm so pissed I never got this thing. It's friggin hysterical
The Sturmtiger is the new king of top tier. Hands down.
This is the perfect Bo vehicle
Amazing video! I was hyped for this one and you and the crew did not disappoint!
I love the Sturmtiger!
I love you 😘😂
Ayo sus
380mm rocket in your face!!!
12:36 Best smiling tank face ever 😂😆
Hey Bo I have been watching you for a long long time and you are the reason I continue to play war thunder. Thank you for making great content!
Another great and fun video 😂 Thank you Bo and crew, you guys know how to put a smile on my face
I am always amazed at the amount of firepower humans are capable of putting on a metal chassis.
A long time ago, the KV-2 got named a “moving pillbox” in a video. I think we found its successor.😂
The ultimate: get rekt in that general direction 🤣
the sturmtiger seems like a good meme vehicle at top tier
They were used for support of infantry and were effective against armoured vehicles at close range and because it's a 380 mm gun it was also used as artillery from long range but had to reposition because it'd leave a contrail from the rocket motor only 18 were built from October 1943-January 1945 some were destroyed or abandoned in combat and there's very few in museums or a tank collection it'd be interesting to go see one and admire the technological difference between German and allied vehicles weapons all of it
Your one of those people how think Germany was more advance go touch grass wehrabo
"Get your barrel out of my hole!"
~BO Time Gaming 2022
So sad I missed out on this one. However, the antics you guys have always make up for it! Thanks you guys for making amazing content!
Amazing video Bo! Perfect way to start my day!
Thank you Stick, Fate, Demon, and Ham for helping with this video!
Bo’s sturmtiger with eyes be looking like a cartoonish version of the alien from doodle jump
Another great video Bo! Had me nearly laughing myself outta my chair there XD You and the gang keep up the great work and keep bringing us these awesome vids!!
That thing is absolutely terrifying, I cant wait to use it myself
This guy's over here gettin more kills than I get in a heavy tank while having to struggle with a 50 sec. reload
Bo clearly had a lot of fun with this, im looking forwards to using it myself
That's what I love about these guys they can make War Thunder absolutely so much fun with their jokes a funny humor lmao 🤣🤣
12:09 I cannot be the only one who thought of the old-school Pingu cartoons when I saw the eye placement🐧
My main takeaway from this was that you can just point and click and expect to kill something
That face on Stickboy's Sturmtiger just cracked me up! I couldn't stop laughing! I can't imagine the terror of his enemies when they turn the corner and see this looking at them with evil intents! :D
It's interesting that they made the shell a rocket, when that's exactly what it was. The fact that they got the reload long, and kept the ammo load low, is decent. It's still not a tank-destroyer, but eh.
City destroyer XD
@@SonsOfLorgar Warsaw uprising. So... jewish partisans were its main target.
20:51 That instantly reminded me of the Fallout 4 clip of someone being shot at by a fatboy at point blank range and it misses.
7:01 Me too Bo, me too. Actually I was smiling the entire video!
The accidental M18 kill is a "task failed successfully" moment.
1:14
"Why did you show this to me?-"
"It's amazing"
That poor BT-5 LMAO
Perfect meme at 1:30 lol
0:11
The artillery behind the slaughter.
nevermind.
Omg Sturmtiger! Great video Bo and crew
Loved the video @Bo Time Gaming! Can't wait for the next video man! The Sturmtiger is a Really Interesting Tank Design, firing a 15" Rocket . It's Perfect for acting like the Spy from TF2 in War Thunder LMAO!
Dam, that thing has been sharing the top spot on my wish list with the Churchill AVRE for pretty much since I started playing.
Can't wait to get my own
Ever since phlydaily posted his take earlier, I've been waiting for this moment so much
Dear god that thing is broken. Incredible.
Everybody gangsta until the sturmtiger shows up
those were some amazing shots, well done.
I have always love the sturmtiger. So glad its in the game.
They eyes on the Sturmtigers was something I didn't know I needed in my life till now, all hail sturmfish
I paused @ 0:13 and you can see on the upper right corner how massive the shell was compared to the BT XD
1:25 XDDD idk why but this made me spit my tea
Bo shoots his gun and I decide to have breakfast Finished breakfast and Bo's shell just finished loading,,,,,,,,,,Wow that a long reload time but does a great job,,,Great fun fellas
Was going to get the cheese wedge with my saved up golden chickens this sale but since they dropped this and I don't have time to grind much I cant really pass up the opportunity. After this vid I'm no longer disappointed haha
1:13 🤣🤣🤣 that simulated shell effect is hilarious!
I need more of this. So. Much. More!
I appreciate the short bit with CoH II as I never got into it and would have otherwise quite missed the reference.
Glad to see Stick was practicing his sticking before the Sturm hide and seek video
almost done grinding the event for this and SO excited :DDD
Amazing video, had all the explosions
1:29 that meme is golden
"Get your barrel out of my HOLE!" My favourite sentence in the video🤣🤣.
Thanks Bo, watching this to alleviate my depression from missing two achievements for it
I wanted to see Bo play this so much
12:40 nah, Bo's Sturmtiger be looking like the peashooter from PvZ 2
That tank doesn't need an engine sound effect. It should just cruise around playing "Merry Go Round Broken Down"
Haven't laughed so much in a while! Thanks Bo! "creepy uncle" 🤣
I love how the sturmtiger has a small crane on its back, which appears to be for loading ordinance into the cannon
Sturmtiger literally best addition to the game ever. wow.
Good work team~
When they allow you to use cannon meant to target city block sized targets in tank-to-tank combat.
There should be special achievement for hitting aircraft with that.
You guys give me the GITS and SHIGGLES! EVERY TIME!
KEEP UP THE GREAT BATTLEFIELD PROFESSIONALISM!
4:51 I think that's called Direct Impact iirc.
I remember someone, NerdCubed i think, playing a tank level in a game.
He used the cannon on infantry which made an NPC on comms tell him not to Direct Impact infantry.
historical note: during the battle for Remagen bridge in 1945 a squad of 4 Sturmtigers were brought up to try and destroy the bridge - they didn't succeed, but one of them overshot the bridge into the town behind, landing right in a company of 6 Shermans assembling to attack destroying several and putting them all out of action.
13:50
The M18 is right there, and I'm the first to notice that than Bo, but this is an excellent example of tunnel vision.
17:16 I have COH2 and it so fun firing the sturmtiger in it
I was so sad, because i'm so busy rn, didn't have time to complete challenges. But found out i can buy it out. Wanted this thing for so long, definitely seems like its worth the money!
I wish I could get this thing, it looks like an absolute blast. (Pun intended)
Me too... I'm sad I wasn't playing during the time they added it
1:25 would be funny to see vehicles damaged like that ingame xd
Love you Bo your my favorite
1:19 wish that PS4 had that version of the new protection analysis we only have a scaled down version that doesn't do any of the fancy expansion like that, just a tiny bit of a dent 99% of the time with large HE or just simply a hole
Can’t wait to get this thing tomorrow
Love your vids
