| I think the Sturmtiger was more of a psycolocgical weapon rather than a practical weapon, like the railguns Annie and Bretha.
The M60A2 was around the samething, big gun, lots of armor, and all the add-on's, but she had no practical use other than to scare the hell out of the enemy.
The Germans liked large armor anyway and its was impractical. The Tiger of which only 440 where made, really was a beast and had a big gun but, in every other way was out gunned. The Sherman had a better fuel system, was faster, turret speed was faster, huge numbers, faired better in rough terrian and mud, could fit in Europian tunnels and on rail bridges. Same goes with the T-34, much better tank than the Tiger.
I think the real "DeathStar" of WWII was the Panther Mk.4
