?STA-1 is one of the potentially most devastating Tier 8 medium tanks. It's proper play style is a mix of the Pershing's agile, flanking harasser, hull down peek-a-booing style, and the Centurion I's precise sniping. STA's second gun is more than decent for a T8 med, and its top gun is one of the best, most enjoyable medium guns of T8, on par with the Centurion's cannon. With the 90mm gun Type 61 the tanks turns into a devastating, all-around medium, and one of the best sniper support of the game. If you're one of the top tanks of the battle, feel free to drive around the battlefield, and help your team with your superior penetration, RoF, and accuracy, wherever you're needed the most. Your 45 km/h top speed is not as good as the T-44's, but it's decent enough, and the excellent manouverability eases this small pain. STA-1 won't feel lost in higher tier battles neither, since its top guns great penetration, and the tank's good camo value makes sniping always a viable option. You'll always need to keep your eyes open though, since the extremely thin all-around armor can get you killed in no time, if the enemy concentrates it's fire on you.+

?The STA-1 is loved by one part of the community and hated by the other. Use it as ultimate flanker/harasser, and second-line support in T8 battles, or make good use of it as a precise, mobile sniper, while staying hidden in T9-10 ones.+

?The best way the STA-1 played is to be always on the run. Never stop, shoot once and then drive away. +

?* Tracks must be researched before mounting everything that adds weight, which is 15.500 xp+
?* The stock gun with 155 mm of penetration is awful, save free xp or suffer through a bad grind, because the next gun is 19.000 xp away+
?* Upgrade the turret and get the top gun+
?* Engine next, as it only add 70 horsepower+
?* Radio last+
