The Sturmpanzer II is a Tier IV German Self-Propelled Gun. With paper-thin armor but a low profile, it can hide in the bushes effectively and shoots powerful accurate shots though it has a small number of hit points and has a somewhat mediocre gun range.
The gun it uses carries over from the Bison. It is still powerful at tier IV and still has the ability to one-shot-kill. You need to move often in order to keep in range with your teammates, since the gun has only 600m of gun range. However, even when fully upgraded, it's still sluggish, which can be frustrating sometimes, especially when going up hills, trying to escape, or trying to get through destructible objects (As is slows down a lot more when hitting large destructible objects).
The armor is not very good, but acceptable since its an SPG. Its open-topped, which means any HE/HESH round that gets into the tank through the top will most likely kill that tank no matter what. It does have a low profile, which can be useful when moving, since you can use ridges to hide yourself while still being able to lob shells over the small ridge.
Overall, it's a powerful SPG that can damage any tank that it encounters. Even one-shot-them. It's very accurate at its tier and for its gun calibre and can even outperform some higher-tiered artillery of played correctly.
