@@bonelesschicken4455 I’m trying not to hate on them *too* much because I don’t consider myself to be particularly good and Germany is my second-most played nation, but this thing feels like a very low-effort vehicle. You don’t really have to aim, you can shoot over cover/concealment, and you’re armored well enough that you’re moderately survivable unless you’re being team-rushed. It’s just really frustrating to be in a light tank or open top TD and randomly dying from someone that didn’t actually hit you, wasn’t really aiming at you, and in all likelihood didn’t even know you were there, just got lucky with a Hail Mary shot across the map. And it happens a lot, especially on the smaller maps.
135KG per rocket at 14 rockets in the Sturmmoser for a total of 1890KG total inside the tank. So getting ammo racked with full ammo will probably kill your team
One of my favorite comments about the Sturmtiger is that a commander of one told his superiors it was TOO effective. The craters it created basically destroyed so much that tanks/trucks couldn't move in and even the infantry had a hard time.
you should also absolutely be able to kill your self if you shoot point blank, the tank might be fine-ish but the crew would be turned into a fine paste.
ALOT OF DAMAGE, with its mass, it is almost equivalent to a soviet 3000kg, or more, so any teammate in 100m radius needs to be careful, specially light tanks

some of the ammunition in this tank was capable of penetrating more than 8 feet of concrete, one of its big intended uses was to clear enemy fortification.
Maybe the explosive penetration isn't as much as expected because of the inverse square law and the distance of the tnt from the target due to the size of the shell? It could also be due to shell wall thickness, and the fact the fuze is at the front as opposed to being a base fuze projectile. Even though it is not besh, it should act somewhat like it. I mean, in game, the sc250 kg German aerial bomb has maximum penetration due to the high explosive action being only 82mm, and it has 125kg tnt equivalency, so if we base it off of that, I guess its accurate in gaijin land?
you'd think so but it takes forever on the sturmtiger. You'd have to go into the controls and change the multiplier every time you want to use the sturm
@@_invencible_ there’s a setting for what the mouse wheel does - set that to rangefinder, and set your sensitivity for the scroll wheel to where you want it. Then go into the settings for the rangefinder and set it for some keys - I use page up and page down. Then you can set a multiplier on that. So the scroll wheel will adjust your range normally, and when you hit the keys it moves it a lot. Hope that made sense
@@The_Mafia_Badger yeah i know how it works. What i meant was that with the normal sensitivity the gun of the sturmtiger barely moves. I use the mouse side buttons and i have the multiplier at a point where pressing the button once changes the range by about 50m on most tanks. But with that same sensitivity, even if i hold it down, the range barely changes on the sturm. I think it’s because it is programmed to move the gun X degrees up or down, independently of the ballistics of the round. So if you’re using a 2A6 you move the gun 10 degrees and the range increases by a 1000m. But on the Sturmtiger, you need to aim like 30 degrees up to set the range at 200m
@@_invencible_ I get you mate. I’m just saying, you can have a different key bind, with a different multiplier. You get the best of both - one keybind moves the gun a little, and the other moves it a lot. That way you don’t have to change your settings every time you play the Sturm. :)

Didn't it also take like 7 minutes to reload in real life? 😅 52 seconds is definitely an acceptable break from reality to get this Mother of all Derps in the game. 🤣
The SC250 bomb has a "radius of the destruction of armored vehicles" of 7 meters. Logically, if this shell (which has similar amounts of explosive) hits within 7 meters of a target, it should grant "hull break". I think that perhaps War Thunder's current usage of HE doesn't work that way though, so they had better make some adjustments so the vehicle is a bit more usable due to splash damage, not just to light vehicles. We already have the Brummbar/sturmpanzer to do that job.
hullbreak is gone, its overpressure now. Even bombs seem a bit wonky recently though, i've landed 1000kg bombs next to the tracks of tanks and only detracked them. I've also been bombed with the bomb landing right next to me and yellowing my tracks. So maybe explosions are just a bit fucky at the moment.
@@CrazyDutchguys Hull break occasionally still appears. It occurs when the vehicle's structure is destroyed, usually on light vehicles including torpedo boats and milk trucks, but when the crew was somehow unharmed. It's rare, but sometimes still happens. Also, yes, the 1000kg bomb hitting a tank and not destroying it happens with heavier tanks quite often. However, War Thunder only is counting this shell doing damage if it directly hits the tank, not if it lands in the vicinity like it should.
The ac130 would actually be pretty balanced because it’s still a pretty big target and can’t defend it self really from planes other than with flares so they should definitely add it

you can actually buy all the stages you missed. You only need 6 out of 7 decals so its 6x999 GE which is 5994 GE for this vehicle. I managed to get 3 done by playing since I was sick and didn't had to work. Will buy the remaining 3 decals. Worth the money for such an Iconic vehicle imo

So funny seeing this tank played right (or rather wrong.) I've seen so many other people trying to precision aim, finding a good camping spot, or refusing to take long distance shots and then complaining its a terrible tank. Forget aiming, this is a meme tank, you NEED to take meme shots
Kinda remembers me of the Advanced Powers Mod for CoH2. A Wolfenstein based mod where you can use Wunderwaffen as Oberkommando West and one beeing the Zombie-Doctrine/Project Phoenix. You where able to call in a Sturmtiger called "Corpse Launcher" and it did exactly what you mentioned. You can shoot Undead Soldiers with that xD

This brings up huge possibilities. Imagine you have to defend a cap circle but you are far away, you can read the exact distance under the cap and blast it from half a map away
Has the same characteristics as a 250kg bomb but acts worse than a 50kg bomb... If they're gonna leave it at 6.3, they have to buff it's explosive mass and radius by a lot.
This thing at 6.3 is the only german vehicle I hope gets down brd to 6.0 so that it doesn't face 7.3 bmps with atgms because that's gonna make this thing so awful to play.
1:23 "Sturmmörser" is a realistic contraction of the official designation "Sturmmörserwagen 606/4 mit 38 cm RW 61". "Sturmtiger" is a name likely created by soldiers.
Warthunder needs to do something with projectile mass, sending a 300kg projectile with 250 m/s into a vehicle would have some insane kinetic energy even without explosives, but a milk truck would shrug it off..
You also have to account that it also accounts for explosive mass since that is part fo the shell, so -135 is 165kg left, + since without the TNT it's relatively hollow, which allows it to "crumple" , cars, like Teslas, have Frontal trunk, which is empty instead of a normal engine, and it is used as a crumple zone which adds safety. So its a 165kg slow AP shell with bad characteristics.
@@petrkdn8224 165kg that still arrives with 250m/s, that should steal deal a ton of damage to light armored vehicles at the very least. No idea what impact it would have on thicker armor.
@@Miragexe also, guns with higher calibers already have overmatch, im pretty sure weight affects it too, since the heavier the projectile is, the more energy is needed to ricochet it, so most of the time, path of least resistance is THROUGH the armor, which is also why lot of the russian tanks rarely bounces shots because they primarily use high caliber guns 122, 152, 100 , and same with a few German tanks like the 128 and 105
Wouldn't this be considered the slowest shell now, compared to the AVRE, in War Thunder? Of course, slowest munition game has is the Type 60 ATGMs, so..
Sure maybe it's on 83mm through solid steel, but the tank it hits should just fall appart from that much tnt. Just look at what things look like that got shot by ISU-152s

you can actually buy all the stages you missed. You only need 6 out of 7 decals so its 6x999 GE which is 5994 GE for this vehicle. I managed to get 3 done by playing since I was sick and didn't had to work. Will buy the remaining 3 decals.
Worth the money for such an Iconic vehicle imo
sturmtiger used to support troops so if you have a teammate next to you as scout vehicle and can give you the range , it will be a great combo tanks
Phly, you've brought back the "Everybody" intro right? Well, there has been a certain song kinda stuck _In My Head_ phor a while that you could also bring back!
Attempt # 452
The song i mean is Virtual Riot - In My Head (feat. PRXZM)
If you ever questioned why you needed a freewheeling mousewheel, it was to adjust the range on the sturmtigers barrel.
So funny seeing this tank played right (or rather wrong.) I've seen so many other people trying to precision aim, finding a good camping spot, or refusing to take long distance shots and then complaining its a terrible tank. Forget aiming, this is a meme tank, you NEED to take meme shots
Same people crying that the AVRE is bad while i'm over here sending a Maus to the shadow realm from 1200m in one hit
9:08 you can do that with the 105 sherman or 15 cm sig, just it's a lot harder
Shhh
That poor Sherman has a rough trip.
Remember they once said that if the steumtiger ever runs out of ammo they use the gunner and loader then selves as a reserve ammo
Kinda remembers me of the Advanced Powers Mod for CoH2. A Wolfenstein based mod where you can use Wunderwaffen as Oberkommando West and one beeing the Zombie-Doctrine/Project Phoenix. You where able to call in a Sturmtiger called "Corpse Launcher" and it did exactly what you mentioned. You can shoot Undead Soldiers with that xD
Im Very glad that your back man you make me smile this whole video
Dream tank come true WHAT A LEGEND
Hey Phly! Since you made the awesome Sturmtiger video, could you also maybe do one on the event for it? The "Imminent Breakthrough"?
Imagine using that tank in real life. Without hearing protection. Absolutely bonkers
geez look how far that test t34 turret went
This was such an incredible video man. I wish I could do more to support you, your family, and your channel. Anything short of actually paying you.. I wish you guys the best. Thank you very much for gracing us with your presence dude. You offer so much more than entertainment and I appreciate it.
if you can basically go on holidays for 1/4 year, i am sure you dont need extra support… he is fine
@@DerRusher you have a good point.
at 8:53 that's a one in a million chance shot
I feel like the reload makes this more of a novelty vehicle than anything
who would have thought the tank with a 380mm mortar would be a meme vehicle??
Yeah I thought that was kind of obvious, tanks can be gimmicks.
this is definitely something that you could just sit behind cover and indirect fire on your enemies
So good to have phly back
Range with binoculars then you don't have to worry about depression
Mörser I believe is German for mortar, yes
If not it means "boom stick"
that shot at 9 min was insane! def in the comp vid at the end of the year
This brings up huge possibilities.
Imagine you have to defend a cap circle but you are far away, you can read the exact distance under the cap and blast it from half a map away
that was the greatest shot of all time
"hey guys, where did our huge force of uh.. german tanks go?" - A. Hitler, 1945
Has the same characteristics as a 250kg bomb but acts worse than a 50kg bomb... If they're gonna leave it at 6.3, they have to buff it's explosive mass and radius by a lot.
GOD I missed my Daily dose of PHLY. Good to have u back brother.
This thing at 6.3 is the only german vehicle I hope gets down brd to 6.0 so that it doesn't face 7.3 bmps with atgms because that's gonna make this thing so awful to play.
9:33 someone killed me before like that using Sturmpanzer 15 cm …..it was the most embarrassing moment in war thunder for me 🥲🥲🥲
1:23 "Sturmmörser" is a realistic contraction of the official designation "Sturmmörserwagen 606/4 mit 38 cm RW 61". "Sturmtiger" is a name likely created by soldiers.
Now we need the goofy ahh autoloading 🅱️ESH machine, the glorious FV4005 Stage I
What the heck? Yesterday i tried to search for a video about sturmtiger, but only one made by you was years old. Then next day you make one!
Holy crap that song in the first seconds of the video is nostalgia, I remember you're p1000 ratte video because of it
This on discord with a friend that has a drone in 9.0 is going to be clubbing BMP:s… finally
Warthunder needs to do something with projectile mass, sending a 300kg projectile with 250 m/s into a vehicle would have some insane kinetic energy even without explosives, but a milk truck would shrug it off..
You also have to account that it also accounts for explosive mass since that is part fo the shell, so -135 is 165kg left, + since without the TNT it's relatively hollow, which allows it to "crumple" , cars, like Teslas, have Frontal trunk, which is empty instead of a normal engine, and it is used as a crumple zone which adds safety. So its a 165kg slow AP shell with bad characteristics.
@@petrkdn8224 165kg that still arrives with 250m/s, that should steal deal a ton of damage to light armored vehicles at the very least. No idea what impact it would have on thicker armor.
@@Miragexe also, guns with higher calibers already have overmatch, im pretty sure weight affects it too, since the heavier the projectile is, the more energy is needed to ricochet it, so most of the time, path of least resistance is THROUGH the armor, which is also why lot of the russian tanks rarely bounces shots because they primarily use high caliber guns 122, 152, 100 , and same with a few German tanks like the 128 and 105
@@petrkdn8224 Overmatching works for penning armor, but it does nothing for light armor taking damage from large projectiles
I would be mad asf, and laphing my butt oph if I were the m41a1😂😂😂
8:58
the germans really know what they are doing with the most ridiculous thing they could think about and though, yeah, lets do it
I thought you could use the range finder option in binocular view now to get ranging data from there.
It makes sense to me.
He might be just a little rusty after his break. That and excited to use this beast
Wouldn't this be considered the slowest shell now, compared to the AVRE, in War Thunder?
Of course, slowest munition game has is the Type 60 ATGMs, so..
Isn’t avre slower?
This is some 800+ m/s
8:53 pure fucking intuition and actual war thunder bullshit combine to make one very dead light tank
Phly, use the grid in your map to aprox. range where the enemy is.
9:03 I was thinking “what if someone just gets killed in spawn from that shot” and literally 3 seconds later
Sure maybe it's on 83mm through solid steel, but the tank it hits should just fall appart from that much tnt.
Just look at what things look like that got shot by ISU-152s
There wouldn't be a "tank" left after a hit from that, a crater and some scrap metal at best
5:23 So the penetration doesn't account for the overpressure of the shear about of explosives.
btw on the replay you can see junichi is MikeGoesBoom, he also had anonymous on
The other Sturmtiger at 8:53 is MikeGoesBoom
You can see his name and Phly's in the replay
my first time seeing a strumtiger he was on the enemy team and i was in a sheman last thing i saw🥲🥲
