If you’re afraid your firepower isn’t enough, This tank for you.

Hull 30 mm 20 mm 20 mm
Turret 10 mm 10 mm 10 mm

This iconic German SPG is already in WT, so it might come to Enlisted too.


Armaments

It’s armed with the devastating sFH18 L/30 150mm howitzer.

Available ammunition


The HEAT rounds are incredibly powerful, with 185mm of pen, so it can handle just about any tank it comes across. The HE shells also have way more explosive filler than the Sherman 105 or the KV 2. Reload is 15s, which becomes 12s in Enlisted, so you can keep laying down suppressing fire on infantry.


Some might think a tank this strong belongs at BR 4/5. Now let me go over its weaknesses.

With only 30mm of hull armor, even BR1 tanks can pen it with no problem


Its turret armor is only 10mm thick, which can be pen by almost anything


Compared to the Nashorn

The Nashorn’s gun shield can at least withstand some machine gun fire, but this one can’t. Also, the Hummel doesn’t have a mounted machine gun.


As an iconic vehicle, its introduction would add a lot of enjoyment for players. Furthermore, the Hummel was the last heavy self propelled howitzer used by the German military during WWII. It was primarily deployed in the artillery regiments of armored divisions. During mobile warfare, it was often used alongside the Wespe self propelled howitzer and attached to tank battalions tasked with main combat missions. It was most commonly seen on the Eastern Front, first seeing action during the Battle of Kursk, where 55 units were deployed. From its first engagement at Kursk in 1943 to the Battle of Berlin, it served on the Eastern Front, Western Front, and in Italy. By the end of the war, a total of 714 Hummels had been produced and assigned to 40 different units. For these reasons, I believe it should be introduced as a tech tree vehicle

didn’t knew it was in war thunder.

and truth be told, i think i’d find this more interestring than the nashhorn.

but hey, i’m sure it’s good to eventually have both.

this would kinda be a higher br sturmpanzer II.

but, imo should be a br IV.
cause, the sturmpanzer II is already br III.

Its artillery, I have no idea why people want to push long range self-propelled artillery guns into frontline use. Hummel, Wespe and other artillery SPGs are supposed to sit back so far behind the front lines that they simply cannot appear in the tiny maps of Enlisted.

I think it’d be important to compare it’s shells to the rest of the artillery tanks we have

I vote no, I want more infantry stuff, less tanks or plane crap, it’s a game focused in infantry, if I want vehicles I would go to War Thunder

I vote yes, I want more vehicle stuff, less infantry prototype weapon crap, it’s a game focused in combined arms

IT’S AXIS, open top, no mg…

But it has a powerful gun so it must be br 5 at least!

Haha. We all had a pretty good idea what BR these tanks should be at, but DF always makes unexpected adjustments.

Bro, the Sturmpanzer II was supposed to be BR 2, while this vehicle should be BR 3. Actually, Sturmpanzer II got its BR raised simply because players at BR 1 barely know how to deal with it. If the game ever adopts the separate BR bracket system just like the Chinese server, I believe the Sturmpanzer II can move back to BR 2.

Maybe in a event with a squad would be nice!

On one hand you are right. On the other there’s no reason why you can’t just shoot your noob tube straight at the enemy :wink:

Just to have it included in game I support it!

Combined arms!

I am surprised that Hummel had HEAT rounds hu? Didn’t think it was used for direct fire.

Its useful for self-defense, sometimes they would come under attack from enemy infantry or even armoured vehicles so a few shells were nice to have, but they were NOT inteded for frontal offensives.

Tanks being added does not prevent small arms being added. Every update will include a tank or plane because it’s easy to port over from war thunder.

Guns are added to the game, though.
Every 35 days, a new BP gun :stuck_out_tongue: , isnt that what we all want?

Exactly. but those who missed the event will never be able to get this fun vehicle again. Everyone loved the short 150mm Sturmpanzer II, but very few people actually have it. I don’t want the same thing to happen to the long 150mm version where people can only hope to get it from a giant pool of random boxes. That’s why I hope it goes straight to the TT.

That’s just my own selfish hope.

Yeah, it uses the same hull as the Nashorn.

Both this and the Nashorn should be BR 3.

Wait a minute, if we include the Wespe self-propelled howitzer, wouldn’t it be considered an armored mobile mortar launcher? Because although it’s a howitzer, its ammunition is launched from long-range projectiles, like a mortar, rather than firing directly like the Bison 2 assault gun.

I think I’m getting tired of the idea of adding low tier large calibre HE throwers.
