Side hull armor is rather decent, but isn’t something you can rely on with the side upper plate armor being angled to the sides, meaning any kind of sidescraping will be futile. When it comes to the hull, thanks to the shape it is rather hard to properly sidescrape and upper plate has a very obvious weakspot. The tank cannot reliably get hull down as the massive cupola is always visible and isn’t very hard to penetrate (albeit you can use your both guns to cover it up, but risk getting guns disabled). 900 alpha damage with double shots will make this gun system rather fun to play, albeit sometimes rather infuriating.Īs far as armor is concerned, it is the same as the regular ST-I. Overall, it can definitely work at tier X, especially when under cover by your teammates. Personally, I found it extremely confusing when single shotting both guns, as after firing a single gun the camera “snaps” to the other, which is sometimes very disorienting.Gun reload is meh compared to other tanks at the tier, cannot mount tank gun rammer and that somewhat cripples 1v1 potential unless you can manage to succesfully double shot. Makes a lot of advantageous positions unusable for other Soviet vehicles actually usable. Great at peek-a-boo exchanges with nearly 900 guaranteed alpha (as long as both shells penetrate).When firing on the move, ST-II seems alright at it, some shots might miss but it isn’t rare for a double shot to hit things on the move at relatively large distances.One exceptional but relatively useless factor is that the turret traverse soft stats are insanely good, when turning the turret you barely (if any at all) lose any accuracy and don’t have to re-aim, but there is a pretty big caveat – turret traverse is pretty bad, so if a tank is trying to get a quick peek at you, you will likely fail to turn fast enough to face him.Gun handling works rather well, it doesn’t take long to aim (thanks to amazing soft stats) and the accuracy is alright.ST-II has some bizarre firepower, and I like to call “hit or miss”. Beginning at tier VIII and leading to tier X, the new double barreled tanks are unique concepts that have a very specific and at times highly rewarding playstyle, but it doesn’t mean they are good, and as far as the ST-II is concerned, it is far from that. The ST-II is the ultimate double barreled tank you will be going for.
