Range of 15cm sIG 33

Post by PreußensGlanz »

Hi
Can anyone tell me the maximum range of the "15cm sIG 33"?
I found 4700m in most sources but either it's listed as "effective range" or "maximum range", I don't think that this is the same.
I also heard that more than 6 charges could be used but only with allowance of higher formation HQ, if it's true that more charges could be used the maximum range must have been bigger than the usual listed 4700m.

I now stumbled over a "15cm sIG 33/1", a modified version mounted on "Sturm-Infanteriegeschütz 33B" & "15 cm Schweres Infanteriegeschütz 33 (Sf) auf Panzerkampfwagen 38(t)" aka Grille.
Does anyone know the difference to the original version?

A and now also a "15cm sIG 33/2" and again I have to ask again, what is the difference to the original sIG 33?

Besides that does anyone know if the new 15cm L/12 designed by Skoda for the "Sturmpanzer IV Brummbär" had a different performance compared to the original 15cm IG 33 L/11,4?
