History: The Sturmtiger was a rare and formidable late-war vehicle, created by mounting a 38cm RW61 rocket-propelled mortar on the chassis of the Tiger I tank. Developed to counter heavily fortified positions in urban environments, it fired massive shells weighing around 345kg. With only about 18 units produced between August and December 1944, the Sturmtiger saw limited action, including the Warsaw Uprising, the Battle of the Bulge, and the defense of Germany in 1945. Despite its destructive potential, its heavy weight and limited mobility restricted its operational use.
