Description
The 150 mm S.I.G.33 is a German howitzer. It stands for "Schwere Infanterie Geschütz 33" (literally: heavy infantry gun 33).
Vehicles equipped with this weapon
General info
The 15 cm S.I.G.33 is capable of firing HE and HEAT shells. Because of the short barrel design, it becomes extremely inaccurate at long range.

Comparison with analogues
- The 150 mm Stu.H 43 L/12 used by the Brummbar is of similar length, fires the same shells but needs a longer time to reload.
- The 150 mm Type 38 on the Ho-Ro fires a heavier shell with more explosive filler.
- The 152 mm M-10T equipped on the KV-2 (Family) fires a heavier HE shell but with less explosive filler and less penetration.
Usage in battles
The 150 mm S.I.G.33 is capable of shooting enemies behind cover because of the slow muzzle velocity and curved trajectory of its projectiles, but it is fairly inaccurate beyond 500 m.
Pros and cons
Pros:
- Fires a giant shell with lots of explosive filler
- Damage and armour penetration stem entirely from the explosive force, meaning for most vehicles at its battle rating, just aim centre mass
- Enough explosive filler that it can destroy unarmoured/light armoured targets with splash damage and overpressure alone
Cons:
- Extremely slow reload rate, if you miss your initial shot in a confrontation you will most likely be destroyed before being able to reload
- Slow muzzle velocity and a heavy projectile means a lot of range adjustment and leading will have to be made
- In close quarters you may end up knocking yourself out due to overpressure damage
- On heavily armoured opponents, the few ways possible to destroy them is to fire the shell either down underneath the tank or at the roof.
History
Examine the history of the creation and combat usage of the weapon in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the weapon and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Weapon-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />.
