The <value_unset_error> is a [[|]] tier .
<value_unset_error>
Even when fully upgraded, The ST-I is the slowest of all Tier 9 heavy tanks available, but it's slow for a reason. It has very sturdy angled armor that is impenetrable to many Tier 8 guns and is more than a challenge to penetrate when angled properly. A properly-driven ST-I can have confidence in its armor especially when hull-down or sidescraping. The ST-I weighs only about 58 tons, almost half the weight of its predecessor, the KV-4, and thus isn't as well-suited for ramming but in turn can reach and maintain surprising speeds when pushed along by teammates. Its top 122mm gun is very powerful, yet gun handling is poor, and gun should rarely be fired on the move. Long range shots will require careful aiming. In the hands of a player who has mastered close to mid range combat, this tank can be a nasty surprise and is highly difficult for vehicles of the same and lower tier to penetrate. When top tier the ST-I can easily lead its team to victory as a sturdy breakthrough tank coupled with formidable firepower.
The <value_unset_error> marks the end of its line.

Player Opinion
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Best turret of all the tier 9 heavy tanks, nigh impenetrable facing head on.
- Strong 140mm side armor allows for effective sidescraping.
- Great 122mm gun with high penetration and alpha.
- Stunningly fast rolling down slopes.
- Surprisingly good gun depression (-8) coupled with strong turret makes this tank a beast hull-down
Cons:
- High penetration guns can punch through the upper glacis with ease and lower glacis is a known weakspot
- Devastating stock grind without IS-line progress.
- Much worse at ramming than the KV-4 due to lighter weight but is in turn much faster.
- Ammoracks are frequent in this tank when facing 600~ alpha guns
- Turret is a massive weakspot once turned away from the front
Performance
The ST-1 is a very formidable heavy tank at tier 9 and can be considered one of the best in its class. Boasting armor rivaling that of the E-75 and an alpha-powerful 122mm gun, the ST-1 is a powerhouse that cannot be considered lightly.
Armor The ST-1 has one of the best armor of the tier 9 heavy tanks. It has a massive turret that is almost immune head on, with the only weakspot being a strip of cupola which is both tiny and well-armored. This makes the ST-1's turret one of the best in the game, even better than the turrets of American heavies. Coupled with its surprisingly good gun depression for a Russian tank, the ST-1 can effectively use hull-down tactics that would render it nigh-impenetrable to all but the most powerful guns. For the hull, it is a much more different story. While the ST-1 has thinner but more sloped armor than the KV-4, the frontal lower plate is a well-know weakspot which can be easily penetrated head on and even when angled. It is therefore imperative to hide the lower glacis as much as possible. However, if The ST-1 is able to use its strong side armor to sidescrape, then it can be rendered impervious to even the JPZ E-100. Due to such qualities, an ST-1 with backup can stall an entire flank for extended periods of time, by baiting shots and eating them, while returning penetrating shots of its own. In fact, it is not uncommon for games with damage in excess of 3000+ to happen when placed in such a favorable scenario.
