So, why are these two not ingame yet anyways?
I know Sturmtiger is broken beyond belief and was tested and I don't want it ingame and there's no way it would ever be implemented, but I'd love to see at least these two implemented.
StuH is basically already ingame, albeit the earlier version - it's basically any Stug with a howitzer. But for some reason, there's no such option for the Stug IV to mount the 105mm of the Stug III G. Why is this?
I don't think it's worth the work of adding another tank, so why not give Stug IV owners another gun option? It's historical and not broken and at all.
Now, for the Brummbar - it has the same SiG model, that is on the Bison or the Sturmpanzer III. It's not near KV-2 power.
With the armor layout, I imagine it being extremely thick in the front, at least for tier VI, with a small paper weakspot where the machine gun port is, like 70mm effective so even a duck can pen it. And a small cupola with even less armor. Plus, weaker armor on the flat boxy area under the gun. Otherwise imeprvious from the front [maybe 250mm effective?], it sounds like a fun-to-play casemate TD for use in a corridor.
Give it 370 view range, only 500 m/s muzzle velocity ... that sort of thing. The sides wouldn't nearly have to be paper, maybe even 120mm thick, plus add the sideskirts and it would be awesome in city-maps, while not being op as hell. Rear would still be like 20mm
I'd imagine the pen values would be abysmal, to compensate for everything else, but not TOO terible. Maybe like a 130mm of pen on HEAT, 95 on AP and 80 on HE? That's lower than the KV-2, while still balanced enough, so it's not underpowered for a derp. Since it's german it could have better dispersion values, like 0,52 or 0,55 [KV-2 has 0,6] and shorter aiming time by 0.5 seconds - 3.5s compared to KV-2's 4s.
Lastly, I'd imagine it having low top speed of maybe 32 max, so it reaches the speed quickly, but stays low on average.
There was also a proposed version with an 88mm gun, which never existed, altough it could be a fun option to have it. I think it was the one used on the tier 6 and 7 Voll Kettens and the Tiger's historical gun.
I'd love if it was for bonds with the 88 as an option as a tier VI tank.
