Profile of Tiger Baron

The sturmtiger being something equivalent to a self propelled B4 arti really wouldn't be too crazy, especially since you can only troll with b4s anyway and usually only by having multiples.

Exactly, besides that it would make the Sturmtiger into an even more unique vehicle while fixing it's core issues and providing something which the Axis don't really have in their arsenal apart from mobile rocket artillery.

All other projectiles do not have a 40 second manual reload. Neither do shells like the Brummbär's collide with objects as much because of various reasons. Either collision with yellow cover objects should be removed (a 380mm 376kg shouldn't have much trouble going through a wooden fence) or the random deviation on the rocket should be brought down so a player can actually aim the rocket past certain objects. Or make the trajectory much more of an arc.

If the arc is changed that will mean an even longer aim time, similar to the HM-38's round hitting the ground much later than the standard mortar shell.

That's why I keep bringing up that if such a thing is done it's better to just straight up make in into a self-propelled howitzer.

Thx for your feedback!
You are obviously right, the current version needs an ammo based ability and your idea of "extra training" can solve this issue. I would suggest that this training only becomes available for Pzgrenadiers / Grenadiers because they were the backbone of this division. They should not get the 5th unit upgrade but some other buff. Let us collect ideas here.

Edited version of "Großdeutschland doctrine":
1. Etra training (inf buff for Grens/ Pzgrens)
2. Counter attack tactics
3. Panzerfüssiliers (reworked - will help other commanders too)
4. Stuka zu Fuß call-in (8 CP)
• P4 H-Version call-in : Elite version of the P4 (Cp 8)

Here's the topic I recently read on GD: http://www.grossdeutschland2kpreenactors.yolasite.com/gro%C3%9Fdeutschland-history.php

The Panzerfusiliers, Halftracks and Tigers as well as the leadership of the Division are all mentioned here.

About the OKW -

Yesterday I had a match where my opponent tried to launch a Sturmtiger's rocket at my tank which was at a higher ground and failed to hit it.

Now I am not sure if the rocket actually hit an small object, as other people have pointed out already which prematurely detonates the rocket, or the rocket just hit the ground but I don't think the engine would be dumb enough to not calculate where you want the projectile to hit as to send it to that position without hitting the ground.

So unless this is fixed the Sturmtiger is rendered ineffective at least 50% of the time since you need to fire on flat ground without any obstructions in the way, which happens less often than so.

I again will suggest a lockdown ability to increase it's range and to circumvent this bug, unless the unit has the same problem of a low flying projectile similar to the raketenwerfer which causes it to hit the ground most of the time.

If not for a Tiger I E as suggested before I think at least a mechanized combat group of Panzerfusiliers inside an open topped 251 Halftrack might be a good alternative while the Sturmtiger is saved up for either Overwatch (somehow) or the new OKW commander that will come in December. This will solve the issue of the OKW not having a mobile reinforcement point while still being unique and also the need to change the Panzerfusiliers from basically a mainline replacement infantry unit to some sort of Recon/Elite infantry unit.

On the other hand Overwatch is a bit better now but still perhaps it's better to also combine Forward Receivers along with the Goliaths and Early Warning to free up a slot for the Sturmtiger, so a slot could also be opened up in Elite Armor.

I also wanted to mention that the Elite Panzergrenadier Division "Großdeutschland" had a Panzerfüsilier regiment, so using some inspiration from that could prove viable, that is in the use of Panzerfüsiliers and Tigers in the commander.

That's impossible to do because of the lack of animations sadly.
