STB-1 Review/Guide, My Favorite Tier 10 Medium
I review the STB-1, a tier 10 Japanese medium tank in World of Tanks (WoT), with replays of Overlord and Prokhorovka battles.
The STB-1 combines crushing DPM with strong hull-down capability. While the tank has fragile hull armor and limited top speed, it's ability to dish out damage is rarely matched.
Strengths and Weaknesses
+ Amazing max gun depression (-8 to -14 via hydropneumatic suspension)
+ Superb DPM
+ Excellent turret protection
+ Excellent gun handling
+ Good agility
+ Good HP (2000)
- Very weak hull armor, vulnerable to HE
- Limited top speed (50)
- Cupola is very soft
- Mediocre camo (28 with Concealment and BIA)
- Low alpha (360)
Recommended Equipment
1. Optics
2. Rammer
3. VStab
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.
