| ? | The Sturmpanzer II uses the same 150mm gun as the [[Sturmpanzer I Bison]], though it fires about 1.5 more rounds per minute. Despite looking significantly different from the Bison, the Sturmpanzer II has many of the same statistics. However, the low ammo storage capacity makes it necessary to not waste any shells and shoot only when a hit is nearly guaranteed. Also, the extremely narrow horizontal arc makes it necessary to turn the hull frequently which consequently results in extremely low accuracy. The Sturmpanzer II will act better as a stationary turret than an arty. To bypass this rather bad SPG, go along the light tank track, the jump onto the arty track by way of the [[Wespe]]. It will be more enjoyable for you to play. | | + | The Sturmpanzer II uses the same 150mm gun as the [[Sturmpanzer I Bison]], though it fires about 1.5 more rounds per minute.

| | All vehicles were grouped into the 707th and 708th sIG Kp (Sfl.) heavy infantry gun companies and were shipped to Libya, North Africa, from February to April of 1942. They proved prone to constant mechanical breakdowns, and only a few were operational by using other ones as sources for spare parts. Eight were lost by December 2nd of 1942, while six others served with DAK - Deutsches Afrika Korps until the spring of 1943, when last of them was eliminated (abandoned). | | | All vehicles were grouped into the 707th and 708th sIG Kp (Sfl.) heavy infantry gun companies and were shipped to Libya, North Africa, from February to April of 1942.

| ? | It is reported that British captured six abandoned and dismantled Sturmpanzer IIs in one of German workshops. It is also reported that a single Sturmpanzer II was pressed in service by the Egyptian Army and saw combat once again in the war with Israel in 1948. Based on experiences with the Sturmpanzer II, the more practical and successful Wespe was developed and produced. | | + | It is reported that British captured six abandoned and dismantled Sturmpanzer IIs in one of Germany's workshops.
