Tank description:

The Hummel is a German tier 6 self-propelled gun.In the autumn of 1942 the Alkett company started the development of a new SPG with a 150-mm gun. To boost new vehicle production, it was planned to use the readily available components of Pz. III and Pz. IV vehicles. The SPG was made on the same chassis as the Nashorn heavy tank destroyer. A total of 714 vehicles and 150 ammunition carriers that used the same chassis were built.Built on the Pz.Kpfw. III/IV chassis, the Hummel is a very well-rounded piece of artillery. The second gun can take down or seriously damage any heavy tank. This, combined with a good accuracy, makes it one of the best T6 SPGs. It can also be played in "tank destroyer mode" (direct fire) when needed. However, because of its height and low gun depression, going into a short-range gunfight is not advisable, since you''re likely to just overshoot anything in front of you. Interestingly, it was the first SPG to be introduced in the game, one of the first seven tanks created when it was still in Alpha testing.The Hummel leads to the G.W. Panther.
