Sturmtiger feels very underwhelming compared to the B4

As the devs buffed the B4 into the high heavens, the stumrtiger is getting left behind. not only the sturmtiger only gets to fire 1 shell, the firing animations is very slow and gives the opponent plenty of time to react.
i personally feel the sturmtiger is very underwhelming right now, deserves a little bit of love.

it got a decent improvement in the latest patch with the overhaul of the projectile behavior. feels much more predictable and, thus, consistent right now. that might not sound much like a straight buff to the unit itself, but having the shell impact where you want almost every time instead of flipping a coin with each shot is incredibly strong.

Sturmtiger seems alright right now actually. The thing people forget about it is that it doesn't need to fire to be effective, if you can ride up to a Machine Gun or At Gun or even just infantry in cover and just start aiming, the target needs to leave, or atleast move immediately or die which can open up ways to initiate an attack. Not to mention at vet 1 you gain the noob tube that chunks infantry for only 20 munitions. (The buff has also indirectly made this easier to acquire.)

Just making it have the ability to fire consistently has done wonders for it's usability since even if you caught your opponent sleeping there was a decent chance you just missed and had a useless 165 Fuel box for the next minute.

The Sturmtiger and B-4 are completely different tools, the only similarity is big boom. The closest thing you can compare it to is the AVRE. Could also compare it to the Sturmpanzer too if you want to stretch a bit.

Most good players can vet up the Sturmtiger to 5. It's not a rare thing in 2v2 and 3v3. So yeah, you've been missing out. Heck, I rarely play sturmtiger, but even in those leisure games with OKW, where I don't really believe in unit preservation, I manage to vet it to 4 or 5. Easiest vs USF, hardest vs Brits for me.

Yes, the Sturmtiger should also shoot 3 shells, with about a 1.5 second unload between them, and at range 40, 50, and 60. This would enable OKW players to not feel left out. Also, the 20 munitions smoke should be made free. Other units get free smoke so this leads to feelings of inadequacy and exclusion of OKW-mains. #freeOKW

with these tips u should enhance your play with this unit. first. dont send him in first looking for enemy. use a scout infantry first and while your sturmtiger cant be seen then shoot at max range so enemy cant see sturm shooting. then boom u get to suprise them with a bang. they wont move if they dont see u

i dont see why it is not possible to get more than one sturmtiger by default, since u can spam b4, wich fire from save places 3 massive shells into their targets...

why sturmtiger cant shot above range 50? while b4 shoot on most maps into your base from other side of the map?


ok..heres the facts:

stumtiger cost 4 times of a B4, has super short range compared to b4 and cant be spammed.

yes it can move...but only need cause of super short range.

make it a setup unit which can fire above much more range and has to stay for 30sec on the same place after the shot. maybe a vet abilty

The problem of the Sturmtiger is that used behind sightblockers it's very powerful, especially now that collisions aren't a thing.
But using it "normally" makes it very hard to score an hit against a good player. So it can't be buffed because in the former case it would be broken

It is not by far. This thing can go in front, while getting hit by a TD and an AT gun simultaneously and unload with a successful retreat, as if it needs it, since it fires from a range of 40 (AVRE is 35). It also gets 45 sight range with vet and same range on its cannon.

In hectic situations it get a lot of wipes. Also it is in one of the best (if not the best right now considering ST adjust) OKW commanders.

Playing against it is mentally exhausting. That is like early game sniper, but it snipes whole squads.

you need to babysit this think by mainly 60% of yur input to be effective. B4 is like..look i build something and click every 1minute one button and will be fine.

Maybz in 1v1. In team games where u actually see this thing you have plenty of things to screen it

So you want it to wipe squads without any input? It is 40 range, most units have a sight range of 35.

if we're talking about a high double-digit number, sure why not? otherwise no.

27 Mar 2025, 09:34 AM

13 Mar 2025, 20:00 PM

Rosbone: Just making mistake after mistake after mistake.
13 Mar 2025, 19:57 PM
Rosbone: It is clear they crapped out an unfinished game. And are now barely supporting it as they make new smaller games. Coh3 is stillborn. It will be meh for at least another 2-4 years. Meaning they killed the whole franchise instead of growing it.
13 Mar 2025, 19:56 PM
Rosbone: For a thing they could fix in minutes. Literally minutes.
13 Mar 2025, 19:53 PM
Rosbone: If I did play coh3 and was mainly a skirmish player, I would be pissed and probably stop playing. And it has been like this since release. Why? I would not tell my friends to buy a game I am not even playing. Lost sales and angered users.
13 Mar 2025, 19:53 PM
Rosbone: I am just saddened how Relic keeps hurting themselves by not fixing 5 minute things like menus. Why anger users with stuff that could be fixed in minutes???
13 Mar 2025, 19:50 PM
Rosbone: I was wondering why people think I was raging. I think it was when I said "because coh3 sucks so bad". That was not my opinion. Just a general feel from top players/streamers. I dont play Coh3 and have NO opinion of it.

OKSpitfire: You can rage as often as you like btw, you usually manage to make it pretty funny.
12 Mar 2025, 11:18 AM
Rosbone: So it was a systemic failure across multiple disciplines and check points.
12 Mar 2025, 04:30 AM
Rosbone: Knowing how companies work, I imagine a new hire making the menus. The API they are using is complicated and things were hard to figure out. But at some point QA or management should have addressed these things. Usually within 6 months of starting.
12 Mar 2025, 04:29 AM
Rosbone: @theekvn I dont hate Coh3 or Relic. I just dont understand how you work on Coh3 for like 7 years and the menu system is worse than if a Programming 101 student made it. Feel free to explain it to me.

12 Mar 2025, 03:52 AM

12 Mar 2025, 03:52 AM
theekvn: Whizbang lock behind CP, meanwhile stuka is techtree progress
12 Mar 2025, 03:51 AM
KoRneY: @aerafield It's possible that it is underpriced for what it is capable of now, no need to go full retard and take it immediately as a massive problem. It costs 60 more MP than a pz.3 and in 2v2 the barrage can be quite strong.
07 Mar 2025, 19:14 PM
OKSpitfire: I do like that they made the Stuka more expensive instead of nerfing it into the ground though. Found it pretty unsatisfying to use before that buff a while back....
06 Mar 2025, 16:35 PM
aerafield: USF already is by far the shittiest faction in terms of countering blobbing and turtling, now they supposedly have one overtuned tool locked behind a BG and it's immediately a massive problem?
06 Mar 2025, 13:33 PM
Lady Xenarra: I think post-2.0 Whizbang buffs, the price is too low esp since the Stuka got nerfed in cost too. Speaking of which, how exactly is one supposed to successfully dive this Sherman in disguise? Med tank spam running into SSFs?
06 Mar 2025, 12:13 PM
OKSpitfire: A powerful, doctrinal unit that outperforms stock stuff? Colour me shocked! :P
