Life Inside A Sturmtiger Tank (Cross Section)

Experience warfare like never before! Men of War II - bit.ly/SimpleHistory_MoWII_Steam - the anticipated sequel to the highly acclaimed RTS franchise is here with all-new units, locations, campaigns, game modes and true trademarks of the series: historical fidelity and action-filled gameplay on the Eastern and Western Fronts of WWII!
When tanks are designed, a number of factors are considered before the ideas on the drawing board eventually roll off the production line. Factors such as top speed, armor, fuel efficiency, ease of production, as well as strategic and tactical considerations are all taken into account before they join front line service. Sometimes, however, designers do away with such ideas as subtlety, and opt for raw power.
To this end, German engineers created the Sturmtiger, an immense vehicle that saw combat in the later portions of the war, from the chaos of the Warsaw Uprising, to the last gasp of the Third Reich in the Ardennes and Remagen, and signaled a final throw of the dice for the Wehrmacht.

5:20 that crane is for aiding with getting the rockets from outside the vehicle into the vehicle using the hatch in the roof. It was not used for reloading the gun. You got that reload from the Company of Heroes videogame

@@lada_niva_1.7i it's two humans actually, the vehicle has 2 loaders. I don't have a source but it's pretty well known that reloading the vehicle with the crane is misconception. To the point a quick Google search on the matter will show you. It's not something obscure you have to go digging for the info.

@Deuce_and_a_half 9 күн бұрын

@@lada_niva_1.7i also the rockets aren't man-handled into the 'breech' / rocket tube. There is a "loading tray fitted with rollers" (-Tank Museum website) that leads into the breech. But also its evident from looking at the outside of the Sturmtiger that the crane can't access the ammunition racks on either side of the hatch. The long and thin hatch opens over the loading tray in line with the gun, but the stored rounds are on either side, so picking them up with the crane would mean lifting diagonally with the cable scraping on the edge of the hatch. If the reload was meant to be done with the crane they would have just designed hatches over the ammo racks too so they could lift up and across onto the tray.

Sturmtiger was basically the German late-war "solution" of dropping a 300 kg bomb on specified targets, but without using a fighter-bomber plane, and by that comparison its accuracy was not too poor. Similarly to the German V-2 rockets replacing actual bombers in bombing cities at last years of war, the German developed such exotic designs when there were more straightforward or practical solution were simply put, such solution was practical no longer in face of resource shortage, mainly fuel and thus the disappearance of German planes and trained pilots in latter war years.

I figured the weakness of the Sturmtiger would be the fact that the Tiger's engines constantly wore down and was in constant demand for spare parts. I didn't know it needed a crane to re arms its main gun with its 760-pound shells (presumably they are too heavy to lift by hand). On top of that if this animation is correct, the crane is outside the vehicle, making it an easy target.
