  • War Thunder Hot Tracks is here and with it comes the Japanese ST-A3 Tank. The ST-A3 has a 6 second reload due to an autoloader and can fire HEAT-FS at 6.7 !
    The Japanese ST-A3 comes with decent firepower and a good reload but it's very mediocre in pretty much every other aspect. The STA3 has very little armour for its BR. Normally that would come at the benefit of mobility, but it's also not very fast either.
    The ST A3 has very poor gun handling and the zoom on the optics can be very difficult to use depending on the map and distance to the target. Overall, though... it's a decent tank and probably the best Japan has at 6.7!

    The Kikka is actually pretty cool, on the surface it looks just like an Me 262 copy but once you get down into the nitty-gritty of how they made it basically from photos of the Me 262 and photos of a cut-out BMW 003 engine (the one in the He 162 Volksjäger not the JuMo 004 in the Me 262) due to most of the documentation and actual blueprints being lost in transit and then them basically trying to fill in all the blanks and get everything to work, it's actually pretty impressive.

    Both the sta1,2 and type 67 have heatfs. The sta3 is basicly another type 67 with a 12mm and a 7.7. The Japanese still suffer from no armour to take hits but just enough the activate a shell. I wouldnt be surprised if it got pened by a shrapnel shell at 1.7

    The ST-A1 and 2 aren't abysmal in any way. They get HEAT shells with only 15mm less pen than the ST-A3.
    Yes, they don't have an autoloader but you can kill anything you face thanks to the HEAT rounds, a decent to good turret traverse and 16x zoom optics for the gunner.
    You can't even judge the ST-A2 if you haven't driven it. It seems like you just looked at it and thought it's probably the same thing.
    It's not. The ST-A2 is about half a meter shorter than the ST-A1 which lets it turn better. It also has a raised turret which allows you to aim behind the tank.
    So in short, more mobility, more maneuverability, true 360 degrees for the turret. That's quite some contrast to the ST-A1.
    I do miss the .50 cal on top but overall it's a better tank than the first variant.

      Play the one you like the look of the most (only look at the vehicles up to about BR 4.3 as that is often where frustration sets in) then when you get frustrated by getting blown up by the same things all the time go and play those things so you learn how they work, gives perspective on if the vehicle is really strong or if you are just up against people with thousands of games under their belt that know how to play really well.
      I have also found watching the kill cam of where I got shot driving those vehicles helped me learn where to shoot them more lol (watching the youtubers I like helped too as I started paying attention to where they aim at certain vehicles that I struggle against).

  • @BubbleBelly
    @BubbleBelly 3 роки тому

    More and more I think that Germany's problem around 6.7 isn't that their tanks are bad or they lack choices, it's that they don't have enough comparable, consistent, similar back up tanks to compete in drawn out matches. I see it with nations at top tier too. For instance, lets take the US: With a full 10.7 line up, you have the M1A2, M1A1, maybe ADATS, maybe LTSV, maybe M1128, and probably some sort of aircraft. Compare that to Russia who has T-72B3, T-90, T-80U, T-80B, T-72A, T-64B, T-64A, 2S6, ZSU-23-4 , and jets that can ground pound easily, or Germany who has Leopard 2A6/2A5/2A4/2k/1A5/1 A1A1/ 1 A1A1 L44/1 and of course, the G91. It just seems like the nations with multiple vehicles that fill the same roll succeed most. It's why Germany from 9.0 up works so well. All of the Leopards fill the exact same role, so losing a Leopard doesn't change much on the team. At 6.7 Germany's line up varies too much from each other to fill a consistent part of the team to preform reliably at 6.7.

It's 100% is around 2700 HP and WEP is 3000HP when the 100% should be 3000HP and WEP around 3200-3300HP. I'm not sure if they fixed it but just wanted to tell you if you didn't know already since your planning to make a video on it. Good luck in it, and I look forward to the vid. o7

    Though it pains me to admit it, the Germans do suffer in the 6.7-7.7 BR range. The problem they have is that RU251 and Leopard 1 aside, they don't have many really effective vehicles to combat the Soviets and British. At 7.0 the British have a line up of solid tanks with stabilised guns firing high pen APDS rounds. Even at 7.7 the Germans still don't have access to a stabilised gun and while the Leo has better firepower than the Centurion and Vickers MBT, its lack of armour and inability to snap shot as effectively means it tends to lose out in 1 on 1 engagements. The rest of the German line up tends to be made up of WWII tanks, which while good tanks just can't cut it at that BR. But it all evens out, 8.7 onwards is a very different story...
