ST-I Review/Guide, Brawling with Sidescraping

Описание: 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.
