too slow, bad guns…only redeeming feature is the HP pool.

actually, STB-1 is quite a good tank, so with prem acc, and constant discounts it worth the grind :D :D

Screw the XP. Those tanks just need buffs all around. Those are “mediums” that move like faster heavies, have absolutely no armor and their guns are just a bunch of made up bullshit. When there’s “1.7 s” aiming time written in the stats, you can count it as “3 s” as the accuracy while doing anything in those tanks is absolutely awful. Then when you are even able to stand still, aim fully, not get killed in the meantime and shoot something usually you will miss anyway, because the accuracy on those tanks is worse than that of a KV-2 (again, 0.37 my ass, it’s just shot spread, it doesn’t matter when 70% of the shells don’t go anywhere near the center of the reticle).
Who would play a line that is just painful all the way to the tier 10? STB-1 is not worth it.

The 19 seconds reload time, the mobility nerf and accuracy nerf and the -3° gun depression, all that leads me to believe it will lose it’s META status very quickly. And the VK36, even after it’s own nerf, is still a good tank.

True I guess, casual players would prefer USSR because they require less skill, Germany and UK are harder to play but can be rewarding. For example when I saw tanks like BP or Comet I said they are total shit, but when I played them I had great results.

(Un)fortunately, here in Europe, nations are more divided…in France i guess french vehicles are the more popular ones, while in the UK guess what…same applies to Germany.
Post-commie countries that had WW2 german influence before, are even more divided. In Ro,Hu,Cz, both german and ussr vehicles are popular either because of
a, some modified versions of the german tanks existed in these countries or
b, we received much t54 from soviet friendly russia…with vodka
This thesis can be applied to casuals.

Now let’s take into consideration skill, and non-casual players (e.g who care about their stats)
U.S vehicles in general require more skill, but they’re rewarding as well.. (hi pershing-t32-t69), thus playing with them increases your ratings (with a huge chance)
same goes for U.S.S.R vehicles and nowadays for the Waffentumour branches…
Aaand don’t forget about the reversed effects. Casuals hate the U.K and Jap lines because they require even moar skill then the U.S or U.S.S.R plus they’re not that rewarding at all.
Of course the assumption of how strong U.S vehicles are, is subjective. I personally find it more comfortable if i have gun elevation and depression over let’s say armor and such things… (maybe this is the reason why i prefer U.S and U.K vehicles despite coming from a post-commie country)

Good, the current over-buffed version should have 0 or -1.

So the USSR and OP-1S are the most popular on RU server? What a surprise. I guess Germany is the most popular nation on EU though I’m not sure about the tanks, I think some USSR tanks might be more popular here than German tanks
