      @@lada_niva_1.7i also the rockets aren't man-handled into the 'breech' / rocket tube. There is a "loading tray fitted with rollers" (-Tank Museum website) that leads into the breech.
      But also its evident from looking at the outside of the Sturmtiger that the crane can't access the ammunition racks on either side of the hatch. The long and thin hatch opens over the loading tray in line with the gun, but the stored rounds are on either side, so picking them up with the crane would mean lifting diagonally with the cable scraping on the edge of the hatch. If the reload was meant to be done with the crane they would have just designed hatches over the ammo racks too so they could lift up and across onto the tray.

    Sturmtiger was basically the German late-war "solution" of dropping a 300 kg bomb on specified targets, but without using a fighter-bomber plane, and by that comparison its accuracy was not too poor. Similarly to the German V-2 rockets replacing actual bombers in bombing cities at last years of war, the German developed such exotic designs when there were more straightforward or practical solution were simply put, such solution was practical no longer in face of resource shortage, mainly fuel and thus the disappearance of German planes and trained pilots in latter war years.

      Well Goring was inspecting the new Sturmtiger when Hitler came by while the former was inside. Goring stuck his head out of the barrel to greet Hitler. Hitler thought to himself “This is getting out of hand, now he has an entire assault gun draped around his neck.

    I figured the weakness of the Sturmtiger would be the fact that the Tiger's engines constantly wore down and was in constant demand for spare parts. I didn't know it needed a crane to re arms its main gun with its 760-pound shells (presumably they are too heavy to lift by hand). On top of that if this animation is correct, the crane is outside the vehicle, making it an easy target.

    • @theworldsthreat
      @theworldsthreat 6 месяцев назад +1

      The external crane was for restocking shells.
      There is another crane inside the vehicle that assisted the loading of the projector so that no one was exposed during the process. Well, aside from the front as there’d be a 38cm hole briefly for the next rocket to be loaded.

      @@alex_zetsu Yes. The engine and transmission problems would be worse from the added weight too.
      On a side note: The projector also takes a couple minutes to reload, not a half hour or so. I’ve seen many people claim it took forever to reload but that isn’t true either.

    I got a question. Will you be making a video of the OAS? The reason I ask is because I’m currently reading the novel ‘The Day Of The Jackal’ by Frederick Forsythe. I’m halfway through the book and it opened of with a brief history lesson and further tidbits of information on the organization
