I review the ST-I, a tier 9 Russian heavy tank in World of Tanks (WoT), with replays of tier 9 Malinovka and tier 10 Ruinberg battles.

The ST-I has strong frontal turret armor and unusually thick side hull armor (140mm), and these characteristics pair up well with a brawling technique known as sidescraping.

Strengths and Weaknesses
+ Superb side hull armor (140mm)
+ Excellent gun depression (-8)
+ Excellent frontal turret protection
+ Good silver AP penetration (258)
+ Good frontal hull armor, albeit vulnerable to premium ammo
- Fairly sluggish mobility due to the heavy armor
- Long aim time (3.4 sec base)
- Long turret is a big target against flanking fire
- Front lower plate is weak (185mm effective), as is the driver's hatch (235mm effective)
- Poor view range (380)

Recommended Equipment
1. Rammer
2. VStab
3. Vents

This video is part of my "Road to Unicum" series in which I share what I learned as I progressed towards account Unicum rating (top 1%) with silver ammo only. I talk through how I'm reading the battle as it unfolds and discuss key decisions and mistakes. My hope is that these videos meaningfully help players improve their gameplay.
