Stb 1 wot driver#
Do keep this fully in mind especially when taking more shells with the vehicle, as the fuel tank next to the driver will be filled with extra shells, which can blow up the whole tank if a shell does eventually penetrate. The STB-1 possesses a pretty nice angled upper front plate, but do keep in mind that the STB-1 wasn't designed to take a punch, only to deal a punch, so even with the good angle you shouldn't rely too heavily on it, as shells can penetrate it and won't always bounce off.

Together with the power of the engine outfitted on the STB-1, allows it to speedily move to a nice sniper spot or hull-down position and fire at targets before they realize a tank could be there. The STB-1 allows for both a more held down playstyle or aggressive playstyle versus the Leopard I due to its hydropneumatic suspension and two-plane stabilizer. The STB-1 can be compared to the Leopard I or even a stock Leopard A1A1, but has its own capabilities in its own right. The tank is quite fast and is further aided by the Hydropneumatic suspension, which allows this tank to manoeuvre the battlefield much like a Leopard, however the abundance of larger, more open maps at higher ranks means that getting from point A to B - and not getting shot - is not a simple as it sounds. It has thick frontal hull armour that can bounce shots effectively, but should not be relied on.

The STB-1 is unique in being one of the only Japanese tanks that can take a hit, like the Type 4 Chi-To Late and Ho-Ri Production. Do note that the L7 on this tank reloads significantly longer than other L7-equipped tanks. Using the tank's hydropneumatic suspension correctly can help with the tank's depression, and in some cases, aid in survivability. Instead, a cautious hit-and-run tactic like the Leopards should always be employed. Despite having considerable more armour than its comparable counterparts the Leopard 1 and AMX-30, as well as comparable mobility, it is not recommended as a front-line tank. The STB-1 is the second researchable tank in Japan's Ground Forces Rank V. The prototype of the Type 74, the STB-1 presents many features that would be in the final design.
