The 38cm Sturmmörser commonly known as the “Sturmtiger” is a German SPG from WWII built on the chassis of the Tiger heavy tank. It is a specialized SPG for city battles: its 380mm cannon is excellent for destroying buildings and fortified points but when fighting against other vehicles, it has low accuracy and a long reload time. It may be difficult to hit anything with it, but if you succeed, your enemy will be in trouble - everyone will envy such a caliber!

From 11:00 GMT on the 31st of October until 11:00 GMT on the 14th of November

• AS42/47 - the rate of fire has been increased from 12 to 20 rounds per minute.
  
• Parameters for the default rangefinder have been adjusted; the maximum direction error has been increased from 100 to 150 metres.
  
• The following list of vehicles have had their “Rangefinder” modification reconsidered. Previously, stereoscopic rangefinders were notionaly divided to ‘early’ and ‘late’. We decided to discontinue ‘early’ rangefinders, since they did not differ much from default rangefinders. All vehicles that previously were equipped with ‘early’ rangefinders will now have ‘late’ parameters.
  
• The Rangefinder's maximal distance has been increased from 2,500 to 4,000 metres. Max distance error reduced from 150 to 100 metres.
  Vehicle list: M48A1 (China), M48A1, Magach 1, Maga...
