"Hello, soldiers!

Today I bring you a legend of WWII, a vehicle that only appeared toward the end of the war and therefore had no significant impact on its course: introduce you to the "Sturmhammer"!

The Sturmhammer is a very unique vehicle, difficult to classify as other vehicles.

Some say it's a tank, some say it's an artillery piece, some say it's an infantry support vehicle... everyone's right and everyone's wrong.

It was born from the need to provide infantry with armored support capable of destroying entire buildings with a single shot. An artillery salvo was perhaps more powerful, but less accurate, and slow to engage. A tank was perfect for breaking through enemy lines, but it was no match for infantry barricaded inside a six-story building. This is where the Sturmhammer comes in, a vehicle that, on command, was capable of destroying any enemy structure in a matter of minutes, while also withstanding direct fire thanks to its massive front armor.

Now let's get to the point: what will the Sturmhammer be like in the game?

As always, I'll try to stay true to the vehicle's real role, but I won't mind deviating from reality if it detracts from the fun.

In any case, the Sturmhammer will be a sort of very heavy tank, equipped with a rocket launcher (not a cannon!) capable of firing 400 kg of ammunition! It will also be equipped with a frontal, non-coaxial machine gun, designed for close-range defense.

I think the shells will be exclusively high-explosive warheads, what do you think?

I'm not sure whether to entrust this vehicle to just one crew member or two; I'll tell you why. If it can only be operated by one member, he can't be both at the cannon and the machine gun, so the vehicle will be more defenseless. However, if I were to use two members, one would have the unfortunate task of covering his partner with only the machine gun, which might be a bit boring, although his role could be taken by a bot.

What do you recommend?

Were you expecting this vehicle, or did you take it for granted?
