Sturmtiger aim ability

From what I can see the weapon of the Sturmtiger is set correctly to do the homing nastiness you have in mind:
- Projectile is set to homing artillery calculation when no shot-blocker
- Accuracy is high enough

If you are still trying to launch the sturmtiger attack through an ability (instead of letting it auto-fire like a machinegun; shame on you), you also need to change how it operates.

Artillery attacks do not fire homing projectiles. Instead you want to adapt the ability of the Sturmtiger attack to look more like Grenadier panzerfaust (i.e., fire through an accessory weapon, check the targets, so that it's an entity, etc).

PS: You might want to ask to have your thread moved to the Modding forum. There's a ton of helpful people lurking out there.

Btw, what about a little buff of sturmtiger in the next patches, when you will work on heavy tank.
This unit is almost never used in 1 vs 1;

That's because the requirements to make it economically useful are not met in 1v1 matches. The Sturmtiger is the ultimate blob-counter, when 1v1 matches don't allow for the massive blobs necessary for the Sturmtiger to become interesting. On top of that, actually blobbing in 1v1 and recovering from losing such a blob is basically impossible, so the Sturmtiger becomes a one trick pony, which is not sustainable for such a massive investment.

So the issues are similar to those of the Elefant, ISU-152, and Ostheer Tier IV in general. Does that mean these tools should be buffed? No, not every tool is the right tool for a specific job, and as such some units simply won't be effective in 1v1 matches.
