[@Deuce_and_a_half]

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]

is there any source providing this? I cant imagine a human somehow putting a 350kg rocket into the tube

[@Deuce_and_a_half]

@@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]

@@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.

[@lada_niva_1.7i]

@@Deuce_and_a_half ah alright, so the 2 loaders carefully place the rocket on a tray and then slide it into the tube?

[@Hand898]

Your comment is an accurate yes they did that they did that because of the sheer white of the tank why is the crane there then?

[@pandawok301]

Just to be clear, this is an assault gun, self propelled artillery made to support infantry by blowing up fortifications.

I'm surprised it was designed and built so late in the war. I thought by that time the assault gun concept had failed. Plus with Germany shifting to defense why would they need assault guns.

Note: The outside crane was temporarily and was only used to load the ammo into the vehicle. It was dismantled after. Reloading the gun after firing while in action was done by using a trolley crane bolted to the ceiling inside the vehicle. (Using the outside crane in combat would make absolutely no sense.)

[@sthrich635]

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.

[@JaHail-oy6vq]

Incorrect, The Sturmtiger was designed to destroy heavy fortification and bunkers. It was more of an Assault Vehicles.

I guess because the barrel was big enough to fit a normally sized person, but göring was not normally sized.

[@ericbrass3434]

He was mostly aerial, but they had to stuck him in a tank when there was no air raid, in order not to float away.

[@emberfist8347]

Well Goring was inspecting the new Sturmtiger when Hitler came by while the former was inside. Goring stuck his head out of the barrel to greet Hitler. Hitler thought to himself “This is getting out of hand, now he has an entire assault gun draped around his neck.

Tiger after having a new purpose: Well... I get new gun right? Right?!

[@XAOMG]

Could you do one of these videos on the JagdPanzer?

[@alex_zetsu]

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.

[@theworldsthreat]

The external crane was for restocking shells. There is another crane inside the vehicle that assisted the loading of the projector so that no one was exposed during the process. Well, aside from the front as there’d be a 38cm hole briefly for the next rocket to be loaded.

[@alex_zetsu]

@@theworldsthreat Oh OK, so it's not as dumb as this animation makes it look. it "only" has the weaknesses of no horizontal traverse plus the usual Tiger engine problems.

[@theworldsthreat]

@@alex_zetsu Yes. The engine and transmission problems would be worse from the added weight too. On a side note: The projector also takes a couple minutes to reload, not a half hour or so. I’ve seen many people claim it took forever to reload but that isn’t true either.
