The Sturmtiger's main weapon is fired via an ability, so you have to modify both:

weapon\west_german\explosive_weapons\heavy_artillery\sturmtiger_rw_61_380mm_rocket_launcher
abilities\west_german\modal_ability\artillery\sturmtiger_380mm_rocket_attack

The ability already has a range value of 150, though, so it's only limited by the weapon's range at the moment.

In a high angle? Yes, you will have to modify the projectile:

ebps\projectile\sturmtiger_rw_61_380mm_rocket

Go to its projectile_ext and under "artillery" change "firing_angle_type" to "high_angle". You might have to modify the projectile's speed and some other values as well. Just use a mortar projectile for reference!

It might look strange, though, because the model is probably not designed to point the gun so far up.
