Oh, you hit nerve there! I fell in love with this tank back in high school when I started playing Squad Leader. Lot's of armor, big honking gun (150 mm). Not much range, but it's great for city fights and bunker busting!!! The big gun will rubble buildings and even destroy most tanks!
Here's some great pics!

"
The Sturmpanzer IV (also known as Sturmpanzer 43 or Sd.Kfz. 166) was an armoured infantry support gun based on the Panzer IV chassis used in the Second World War. It was known by the nickname Brummbär ("grizzly bear") by Allied intelligence, a name which was not used by the Germans."

I love the funky machine gun location on the upper left corner of the mantlet.
Rock on Brummbär!
