Specifically, the mismatch in crew values caused by commander's 10% crew skill bonus. Outside of a crew of 1 commander only, 100% crew is a fiction. The client values, given for 100% crew, will normally be taken into battle with 110% crew skill members aside from specific functions, causing their actual performance to deviate from the expected client value. These differences are taken into account in tooltip boxes.

STG

VIII

8700

The STG is a Soviet tier 8 premium medium tank.

Developed in the J.V. Stalin Academy of the WPRA Mechanization and Motorization Program. According to various sources, work on the project started after 1949. The vehicle featured a layout with a frontal placement for its transmission and a rear placement for its fighting compartment, which was unusual for the Soviet tank-building school. The project was discontinued at the design development stage.

Player Opinion

Pros and Cons

Pros:

• High alpha damage
• Very good accuracy and aimtime for a 122mm Soviet gun
• Fairly good turret armor
• Low profile and good camouflage values
• Terrain resistance values are good, they compensate the average power to weight ratio

Cons:

• Fairly poor DPM, one of the lowest for tier 8 medium tanks
• Poor gun depression
• Average power to weight ratio
• Bad hull armor has limited usefulness
• Premium ammunition's penetration boost is limited

Performance

Much like the other rear mounted soviet mediums, this tank works best as a mobile sniper. In a pinch (and depending on the map and the matchup) this tank can be a serious hull down wall that punishes poor plays with 390 alpha bombs, however the weak hull armour makes this tricky in higher tier matchups. The DPM for this tank is also very low, on par with heavies such as the Lowe, a tank not renounced for its DPM, so unless you trade shots, you will not come out on top.

Play to the strengths of the alpha damage and superb accuracy to snipe and the STG will be your best friend.

• As of Update 1.12, released on 3/2/2021, the STG (and the skinned Guard variant) has been buffed. The reload has been decreased by a second, effectively granting it ~150 more DPM, the gun handling has been buffed slightly (0.21/0.21 -> 0.19/0.19) and the engine power has been increased from 400 to 450, granting it about 1.70 hp/t more.

Historical Info

In June of 1953, a draft project appeared that depicts the hero of this article. Little is known about it, only its author (Gremyakin). This was not a proposal to the department of inventions, the tank was designed in an official capacity. The overall concept was similar to what was designed by the OKB IK SV and factory #75. The armament and armour of this vehicle were the same as on heavy tanks, but it was a medium tank in size. The armament consisted of the D-25T, but that is just a placeholder. In reality, the M-62 gun would have likely been used. Like the K-91 and Object 416, the driver sat in the turret in a rotating station. The ammunition was also stored in a similar way to its predecessors. Since the tank never received an index, it is called STG (Gremyakin's medium tank) in the game.
