I fail to see how making it shoot at an angle like a mortar would not work. Sure the rocket would take longer to come down but make it silent and give it 50 range? idk.

In my opinion:

- Shot passing through buildingis is not necessary
- Passing through little object (tree/bushes) is necessary
- Passing through 1 Centimeter upper terrain in front of Sturmtiger is necessary (aka invisible obstacle)

I think the 45 range was necessary but I'm not a fan of the sturmtiger shooting through buildings because there is no counterplay there. Take that away and it is probably fine.

You can hear it... it's really loud, even through Fog of War.

yes it is very loud but how much time you have to react? around 0.5-1sec i think

Those things can't be distinguished from each other. You either shoot through shot blockers or you don't. The unit itself won't work without shooting through shotblockers because it's shell is so huge it detonates on even the tinniest little world objects.

The Sturmtiger previously suffered from a number of usability issues related to its ability to hit its target. The shell tended to collide prematurely with world objects resulting in an unintended ignition of the ammunition. By modifying the shell to ignore shot blocking and pierce, these occurrences will no longer occur. However, this has resulted in an improvement to the unit’s efficiency and utility, as it can now be used to fire through anything within the world.
Now ignores shot blocking
Now pierces through world objects
Barrage can no longer be used on a specific target; it will only take a position within the world. This prevents it from homing in on a selected unit.
Barrage range from 45 to 40

The aim time on the Sturmtiger is like 5-6 seconds.

This was because it detonated on literally everything before the change, and it could previously track targets at 50 range. This was broken for very obvious reasons so they reduced the range on it and gave it the ability to hit through shot blockers as a way of fixing the gun and giving it something in return for the fact it could no longer track targets.

I was counting it having to raise the gun. But the aim time isn't just .25 seconds. That would mean it has one of the fastest aim times of any gun in the game.
