Can we get to 10k subs this month? 🙏
I already subbed with 3 of my accounts
Hopefully it will happen
Hopefully
Next one to play it Bradley m3 at 8.3 us pleasee.
Hey Jon, can you review the PLZ-83 since it got new BEE7 shell?
Definitely
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.
I'm trying to do a bit of everything. Let me cook man 🙏
@@BPA_JonWT get on that grill for the whole damn neighborhood!
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!
If you are guy that taking lessons of fails and analyze the terrain as the cover I can say whatever nation you play u can learn so much
Playing this shitty nation its easily to fail something than america for example its giving more lessons
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
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.
and for good reason, you essentially get an M36B2 but at a much higher br and difficult to use optics
But at least you get that reverse
@@partyparrot168 not wroth the 2 br increments
I'd say the STA1 is at the good BR, while the M36 is undertiered. I like both.
The zoom on this got me killed so much at close range
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!
Now that you've played the ST-A1 you've GOTTA play the Type 60 SPRG, the little japanese rat
Maybe some Ho-Ri Prototype/Production, too, some ST-A3 action would be nice, also.
@@UmUshe already did the Ho-ri prototype a month ago
As someone who first started the game with Japan ground. This tank really made me rethink my decision of downloading WT 💀
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.
Great content man. Personally I don’t care for ground above 6.7 but I love how you explain your movement and good sight lines to hold.
has anyone ever told you you sound like carlos sainz jr? love your videos
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.
Im late but the day has come !!!!!
edit: if its not snappy enough you can try the type 74 ;)
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
Just not a lot of options in the Japan tech tree. I found this tank refreshing when I got to it. And having multiple tanks at at the same BR even. Type 75 is where its at though :D
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
Sta-3 with autoloader is really good
Also the optical range finder, which pretty much makes it a perfect sniping tank.
I hated this one when i first got it, but now it's one of my favourites because of the heat shell, gun depression and zoom. Is diabolical on certain maps. Still hate the basic green camo tho.
u should play the asu-85, its another vehicle people dont play (for good reason)
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.
I love that thing
What are your graphics settings? Curious to see what you have selected and why.
4:58 I agree with you man, 60% matches i play in war thunder are horrible, teammates that dont know how to play + no anti airs
*disaster*
ST A1 might mot be bad, same as the A2 but the stupid zoom is too high for the velocity of the shells, it disorientates me
Had a really bad time in this until i watched some guy show that you should take aphe as primary instead of heat, now im enjoying both ST-As quire a bit despite their shortcomings
idk if its me but isnt his mic cutting in and out at times. i dont know if its intentional or not or just an issue with noise cleaning.
Can you play the Ru 251, please?
Can you Play Pt76b next?
BPA try playing with one headphone challenge 😊 My one headphone's side has been broken and I tried to play without. I'm playing 6.7 br I'm doing great Its possible
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
The potato finally got is wish fulfilled! :D
Can u do TO-55 next please?
I play it all the time. One of my favs!
Can you play the object 685 next?
Jon we need to see how the t114 performs
would you play the pt16-/14?
I played it a couple of weeks ago ;)
how do i access the summer sale on xbox
I mean I did when I was grinding the Japanese tree.
hey jon,what earphone you use
philips fidelio x2hr
Would love to see you play the centurion mk 2
I LOVE this tank, I use it constantly
_i like that tank_
THERE IS ALWAYS THAT ONE GUY
I like it too, my only issue was the velocity
You should play the German M48 with the 105
The type 61 is actually pretty nice and fast compared to this one. You should give that one a go 👌
can you play the first abrams
Damm is it just me ore is this guy one of the best players😳
you should play the STRV 103 C. Its my favorite tank :)
The st-a1 isnt bad more of just, who grinds japan to rank 4?
(love the vids btw :))
rank 4 japan has the ST-A3 witch is quite underated. I will do a video about it soon. I love that thing actually
Can you play t72b3?
If u play this tank as a uboat: u r fine, the insane optics are key for players with knowledge.
Day 2 of asking Jon to play the Chinese PT-76
It's not surprising no one plays it, it's got the armor of a light tank with the mobility of a heavy tank. It's just objectively inferior to the M36.
For some reason the Japan HEAT-FS absolutely claps. It's like they nerfed everyone else's HEAT-FS and left Japan buffed or something.
i unlock it with the A2 and wait to get 50% sl to get them.. ahahah..
then i will try to spade them!! both A1 and A2..
your team is the enemy with the blue......
Can you play the Leo 1a5? dont see you playing The Early Leopards/Mid tier germany much (i am at 9.3 in germany and i need help lol)
Day 16
I still hate this and the sta2 but somehow I got my first nuke in these
#thrust vectoring for mig 15
Fiat day Bradley m3 at 8.3 lineup
try to get a nuke with the 120s and A10 combo if anyone can do it its you.
The kids would call this tank, 'extremely mid,' right? Excelling with average vehicles is good stuff.
I do
I want to play this tank btw😂
I’ve actually seen this tank in game multiple times which means people do play it ☝️🤓 (keep up the good work)
zoom is annoying on it
Day 5 of asking Jon to play 8.0 GRB Germany.
Day 1 of asking for the Strv m42 DT
day 1 asking to play M6A2E1. Potato tank.
