Briefly about the advantages and disadvantages, who will suit this machine and how relevant it is for a random house.
Hello tankers! With you Wotpack and a short review of the ninth lot Holiday calendar in World of Tanks. For the first time, we have a deviation from the merged list, are the developers really not too lazy to revise it, or is it more of an isolated case? We'll find out soon. In any case, today we have a Soviet medium tank of level 8 STG Guardsman in World of Tanks. Let's briefly go over the performance characteristics and its relevance in the random.
TTX STG Guardsman
Firepower
Of the obvious advantages, one can note a large one-time damage. Armor penetration is also not bad, which, with excellent accuracy, allows you to confidently inflict damage targeting vulnerable areas.
You have to pay for this with a long reload, which negatively affects the DPM, it is the smallest among the Soviet STs. The turret traverse speed is slow + LHV is not the most convenient. Also, the gun is poorly stabilized, the tank is not suitable for dynamic skirmishes.
Vitality
STG has a solid margin of safety, so sometimes it will live a little longer in battle. The hull is pierced by everyone and the engine or ammunition rack is often critical, also get ready for regular arson. The turret is more reliable and has a ricochet shape, it sometimes tanks at the top of the list.
Mobility and intelligence
This ST has a low power density, so it is difficult for him to keep up with his classmates, but the dynamics are enough to take ambush positions and provide support to allies from the second line.
It has excellent camouflage and a low silhouette, so it performs well as an ambush sniper. But it cannot move far away from the line of hostilities due to the low basic visibility.
Сonclusion
STG Guardsman cannot offer interesting gameplay, and playing it is fraught with nerves due to frequent module crits. Moreover, you need to get used to playing on a CT with a rear turret, not everyone will like it in practice.
Verdict — do not recommend to buy, there are many more suitable premium CTs. Take only for collectorsbecause it comes with a beautiful style. And can you recommend branch fans K-91. If they have mastered this top, then STG will also come in.
