: Assault Gun

## [General information](/md/rv/vehicles/sturmtiger.md#general-information)

Description
: The **Sturmtiger** is an Assault Gun based on the [Tiger I](/md/rv/vehicles/tiger-i.md) chassis, built by Germany in 1944 in small numbers to mount the **380mm RW61** naval-derived rocket launcher for demolishing fortified positions. Only around 18 were converted; they saw limited use on the Western Front. The 65-tonne tracked vehicle is crewed by five — driver, gunner, bow gunner, commander, and loader — and powered by a **MB HL230 P45** engine producing 690 horsepower for 10.6 hp/t and 40 km/h, with neutral steering.
The main weapon fires massive **38 cm R Spgr.4581** rocket projectiles with a 42.4-second reload from a limited hull stash of 12 rounds. The loader also has a grenade mortar for frag and smoke. A bow **7.92mm MG34** provides close defense. The Sturmtiger has no stabilizer or rangefinder; the gunner uses a 3x telescope. Its extreme caliber and weight make it a short-range siege asset rather than a frontline tank.
