Has anyone played HS32 A few rounds and been struck by how
ineffective the Sturmtigers are. Given that they only fire on the
infantry target in this scenario the to hit mods. usually run something
like this.
Range 0-6 base hit 8
buttoned up (mandatory) +1
TEM (building +2 or +3)
target concealed (+2)
This is harsh to say the least as most first the chance of a hit are less
than the
chances of low ammo result.
  Surely this vehicle was intended to demolish buildings, it should be
restricted
to the AREA target type only Not the other way round.
Has anyone else thought this a bit odd...

Well, given the above example, The Sturmtiger receives a "second chance". If
the "To Hit Roll" is less than or equal to the the final "To Hit" number +
the number levels in the building, then the Sturmtiger hits a random
location in the building. The ensuing rubble check is on the 36+ table with
a -3 modifier.
So shoot at a known target in a two-story stone building, the mods are:
buttoned up +1, building TEM +3, building levels -2. With a rubble "To Hit"
of 6, it is reasonable chance. Also, rubble can spread.
