I've been wondering this for a while now.. the US has the ability to self repair vehicles.
The stuart has a vehicle crew with vet 3 and the sherman/other tanks have vet 0.
Is it viable to put in RE inside a tank and take the vehicle crew with you? or should you always put in the vehicle crew it originally belongs to? Does the crew matter how the tank performs?

They're indirect fire artillery, they're supposed to be fragile because other units are meant to defend them, and they can be hidden when not in use. This doesn't apply to the Sturmpanzer or Sturmtiger, and I'm not sure what you're trying to prove by bringing up irrelevant units anyway.

The range of both those tanks is MUCH shorter. They have to come into the line of fire to get off a shot, the Calliope can fire from deep in the fog of war.

I have no idea what you wanted to say. Calliope CANNOT be compared to Sturmpanzer and can only vaguely be compare to Sturmtiger.

It should have to decrew to reload.

I thought of an alternative way to balance the calliope, reduce its max range. Since it has the hp of a regular sherman, it shouldn't be able to kept behind the lines bombarding buildings, so USF players will have to position their units well to cover the calliope when it fires to protect it. Considering you can literally call in two calliopes on minsk pocket, sit on your one vp and bombard Axis all day currently, i think this is a good idea. There needs to be more of a risk to indirect fire weapons.
