The thing seems broken now. It often doesn't shoot where you target at, but at at a point far closer to your tank than you aimed. I first thought it is a bug that is related to uneven terrain (when I shoot from an elevated position the shot always landed directly in front of my Sturmtiger), but that issue seems to happen sometimes even if there is no noticeable height difference.
It was also said that it can shoot through all world objects now but this is also not true because certain things like walls still block the shots.
So yeah, it is definitely worse than before the changes, because it is probably even more unreliable now and has less range.
