@ACRScout57 The T-85 you speak of is the TR-85, an upgraded TR-77 which is based on the T-55 and is Romanian not Pakistanni.

Funny how they can't get the nomenclature right on vehicles. The T-28 was definately not a tank...tank destroyer, gun motor carriage, self propelled arty or assault gun would all fit better.

@ACRScout57 Yeah, I have seen the Sheridan fire a Shillelagh missle before, it was the forerunner of the TOW system. The 380mm on the SturmTiger was a failed shore based anti-sub weapon and was not in full production. They were used in Norway and failed and as best as I can find only about 97 were manufactured. 18 were used on the SturmTiger.

@Toddinfantry

The Sturmtiger was indeed a 'quasi' rocket launcher, much as the M551 Sheridan is a "missile launcher". The gun/launcher fired a fin stabilized round that bore more likeness to a modern RAP round than a 'rocket', as it had to be tube launched to be fired. The launcher was 380mm, the vehicle designated "Sturmpanzer morser Tiger" was originally built to tote a 210mm classic mortar but that was not ready in time for production hence the use of the 380mm already in full production.
