    War Thunder needs more good players making content that isn't just top tier. You're going to grow so much faster than everyone else with all the variation of vehicles you play.

    The STA-1 taught me most of what i know about war thunder, this vehicle really teaches you positioning and how to take safe shots. Since your armor is just nonexistent, you have to take shots where you minimize your exposure to danger. I appreciate this thing so much. I dont think its an amazing vehicle, but since the Japanese Tech Tree was my first, this is where i learned so many things about this game. Love the videos, keep up the great work!

    It’s not a good tank but it’s nice to have QoL features like decent reverse, neutral steering, and high zoom at a BR where most tanks still lack those things

    • @siiml
      @siiml Před 8 dny +1

      Like Jon talked about as well, I feel like the high zoom is more of a con than a pro, considering the slow ammo. ST-A3/Type 61 are much better in this (and every other) regard.

    • @BPA_JonWT
      @BPA_JonWT  Před 9 dny +12

      yes, it's not a bad tank, it's just the small things that make it annoying to play. That's why people don't really play it a lot.

      @@BPA_JonWT having about light tank armor while being as big as a rig doesn't help it either... if any competent CAS player is around you better speak your prayers.
      also light autocannons take just a second to ruin you from the side.
      without all the mobility mods and full crew skill, cqb is very dangerous.
      i just got it recently, and i'm aching to switch up to the A3 variant to try the autoloader at 6.7!

  • @shahramtondkarmobarakie1824

    and for good reason, you essentially get an M36B2 but at a much higher br and difficult to use optics

    As someone who first started the game with Japan ground. This tank really made me rethink my decision of downloading WT 💀

  • @Warbob11
    @Warbob11 Před 8 dny

    When I first played this it was when they introduced it. I still played both the St-A1 & 2, but they started with APCR only and that was before the solid shot & APCR ammo buffs. So similar to many US tanks with APCR as the starting round.

  • @astrayp01
    @astrayp01 Před 9 dny +2

    If I had to pick one, ST-A3 is much better. Rank 4 Japan tanks lack of speed. At least, ST-A3 got a reasonable auto loader. Yet, once the clip runs off ammunition. It is worse than the ST-A1, due to the reload auto loader first.

  • @kavyapatani5905
    @kavyapatani5905 Před 8 dny +2

    honestly i prefer the 6.7 sta-3 and type 61 solely because of seemingly better mobility, slightly better gun handling and better heat shell

    • @jeromes9219
      @jeromes9219 Před 8 dny

      Sta-3 with autoloader is really good

    • @siiml

      Also the optical range finder, which pretty much makes it a perfect sniping tank.

    Hey BPA_John
    What’s your opinion on the American 5.7 lineup? Your video on the jumbo encouraged me to grind and get it (loved the M24 and 3.7 lineup) - but I’m suffering from the constant 6.7 matches against Germany

  • @farmcat9873
    @farmcat9873 Před 8 dny

    I play the Japan line it was a little tougher to grind than other lines but some of the Japan line tanks are awesome and the St-A1 I enjoyed playing it. The ST-A3 and the Type 61 were alright to and it was even better when I got to the STB. Gotta have patients to play the Japanese line but it pays off in the end.

  • @jengac5803
    @jengac5803 Před 8 dny

    Mixed feelings about the ST-A1 and A2. A1 better with its 50 Cal but at 6.3 BR you always get sucked into 6.7-7.0 battles and then you simply suffer a lot. Not to mention the lack of performance on the HEATFS rounds which can get eaten by tracks and other volumetric stuff. But its a good back up to the Type 75, Type 99 which are much better heat slingers
