 The infamous '''{{Specs|name}}''', better known as the '''Sturmtiger''', had its genesis in from the Battle of Stalingrad where a heavy support vehicle with a large armament capable of demolishing building was desired. While the similar [[Brummbar|Brummbär]] was also produced to fulfill this role, the improving trend of infantry-portable anti-tank firepower gave concern that the Brummbär's armour would not be sufficient, and so a vehicle with more armour was desired. As a result, several Tiger I hulls were assigned to be converted by Alkett into an assault gun holding the impressive 380 mm rocket launcher. The vehicle would begin limited production in February 1944 before entering full production in April, leading to 18 vehicles being converted into the Sturmtiger. The Sturmtiger was used most famously in the Warsaw Uprising in 1944, but also saw use against the Western Front in the Ardennes Offensive as well as the Battle of Remagen.
-Introduced in the [[wt:en/news/7946-event-dreams-come-true-sturmtiger-en|"Dreams come true" 10th Anniversary event]] during [[Update "Fire and Ice"]], the {{Specs|name}} was arguably the one of the most anticipated vehicle in the game, as hinted by the title of the event it became available to unlock in. The Sturmtiger fits all the preconception of a vehicle of its kind, a large armament that with an exorbitantly long reload time and is inaccurate enough to make precise hits improbable. However, the large calibre and blast radius ensures that anything caught in the rocket's reach will be crippled or destroyed. The Sturmtiger brings considerable armour into the battle as well, allowing for some semblance of survivability while lining up the armament onto the target. Due to its specialized construction and armament as an assault gun, finding the optimal way to use it in a dynamic battlefield could be difficult and frustrating, but players would have a literal blast being able to pelt that pesky tank with a 380 mm rocket to the hull.

 The 38 cm Sturmmorser, also known as the Sturmtiger, was a heavy siege weapon intended to destroy fortifications with a single shot.
 The idea for such a heavy infantry support vehicle came out of the experiences of the heavy urban fighting in the Battle of Stalingrad in 1942. At the time, the Wehrmacht had only the [[15cm sIG 33 B Sfl|Sturm-Infanteriegeschütz 33B]] available for destroying buildings, a Sturmgeschütz III variant armed with a 15 cm sIG 33 heavy infantry gun. Its successor, the Sturmpanzer IV, also known by Allies as the [[Brummbar|Brummbär]], was in production from early 1943. This was essentially an improved version of the earlier design, mounting the same gun on the Panzer IV chassis with greatly improved armour protection.
-While the Brummbär had far more armour than its predecessors, by late 1943, infantry anti-tank weapons had improved dramatically, and the Wehrmacht still saw                                                   a need for a heavily armoured and armed vehicle. Thus, the Sturmtiger project was born.

-Initially, the Sturmtiger would have used a 210 mm howitzer. However, due to manufacturing delays, this weapon turned out not to be available at the time and was replaced by a 380 mm rocket launcher adapted from a Kriegsmarine depth charge launcher. Loaded through a sliding breech, the vehicle carried 14 rounds of ammunition. The rocket launcher fired short-range, rocket-propelled projectiles with either a high explosive charge or a shaped charge, which was primarily used                                                                                                                      against buildings and and could penetrate up to 2.5 meters (8ft 2 in) of reinforced concrete.

 In September of 1943, plans were made for Krupp to fabricate new Tiger I armoured hulls for the Sturmtiger. However, further delays in production and shortages of materials meant that only existing damaged Tiger I hulls were rebuilt and converted into Sturmtigers. The first three were complete on 20th February 1944, and full production did not occur until August 1944. Ultimately, only 18 Sturmtigers were manufactured by the Alkett company in Berlin.
 The Sturmtiger was used most famously in the Warsaw Uprising of August 1944, but also saw action in the defence of Germany against Allied forces.
