  Achtung Panzer! - Sturmtiger
Sturmtiger used the same engine as the Tiger-a 700hp 12-cylinder Maybach HL 230 P 45-with a Maybach OLVAR OG 401216A gearbox (8 forward and 4 reverse).
Sturmtiger was equipped with a FuG5 10 watt transmitter/receiver and intercom for crew communication.
In their limited use, Sturmtigers proved to be excellent defensive weapons but were slow and mechanically unreliable, and most were abandoned or destroyed by their crews after mechanical breakdown or because of fuel shortage.
