The ST-II is a Soviet tier 10 heavy tank.
A project for a heavy double-barreled tank that is a further development of the ST-I. Keeping the original dimensions and weight, the new vehicle was supposed to feature two 100 or 122 mm guns. Existed only in blueprints.
The ST-II marks the end of its Soviet heavy line.

Player Opinion
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Incredible burst potential; dual-barreled gunfire deals 880 damage, and can deal up to 1100 with a maximum roll.
- Good single shot firepower, with respectable alpha and penetration
- Decent sidescraper, great frontal turret armour.
- The best gun depression of all tier 10 Russian heavies (-8) makes hull down a viable option.
- Impressive on the move dispersion for a (russian) heavy. Aim reticle doesn't bloom all that much which helps offset the bad aiming time.
- Sizeable HP pool for such a compact tank (2500, same as the IS-4)
- The space between the guns is noticeably smaller than on other double-barreled vehicles, making situations where only one gun deals damage and the other one doesn't with a salvo far rarer.
Cons:
- One of the lowest DPM values of all tier X heavies. Slow reload for its alpha and it keeps the 5 second gun switch time from the tier 9.
- Essentially has the armour profile of the ST-I (tier 9 heavy), so its hull armour protection is unreliable at best. Also features a large cupola that is prominently displayed at the front of the turret.
- Bad aiming time and accuracy.
- Cosmetic top speed. Bad terrain resistances and low hp/t values mean it struggles to reach its 42 km/h top speed. Even when going down a slope.
- Very vulnerable against SPGs due to it having a huge roof without a lot of armour.
- Due to the shape of the rear, reverse sidescraping is a lot more difficult than it was with its predecessors.
- Low HEAT penetration compared to other russian 122mm guns. (310 vs 340)
Performance
The ST-II is quite different from its tier 9 counterpart and requires some getting used to. It trades the mobility and frontal armour the tier 9 had for improved side armour, a more compact hull, and better guns, all of which you will immediately notice.
The tank is sluggish and its armour is like playing the IS-4 on hard mode, but boy do you get a solid pair of guns. The increase in alpha damage lets you deal some real damage especially when firing both guns at once.
The tank is best played like a hull-down vehicle, where you won't have to worry to much about its relatively poor hull armour. In a pinch, the tank can pull off bounces with its fairly thick side armour of 140mm. But, due to an unfortunate lack of sideskirts and low track placement, there is a big gap between the tracks and the upper side hull which can be angeled too far without you noticing. Also 140mm just isn't the thickest of side armour.
Now onto the good parts. The frontal turret is substantially better than the ST-I. 300mm at the front with a huge mantlet means that your turret front is safe from most shells. It does have a cupola that can be penetrated, but it isn't thinly armoured and can bounce shells on its own. -8 gun depression allows you to take positions that other Russian heavies can only dream of. The tank is also fairly small, especially compared to the tier 9.
