IN GAME
In the game the Sturmpanzer 33b can easily destroy enemy fortifications and infantry inside buildings thanks to his powerful HEs effectively supporting the infantry advance through the streets of Stalingrad but he can also easily destroy enemy vehicles thanks to his anti-tank shells (Grenade 39 Holladung1 / A ) capable of perforating armor plates up to 160 mm thick.
On the other hand the vehicle is quite slow, the reloading of its cannon is slow and very limited lateral swing (3 ° to the left and to the right).
