STA-1 Returns: Reviving the Samurai Spirit! | World of Tanks

[@M1911jln]

That first game was a thing of beauty.

[@adamadamowski8585]

A thing of beauty and overall it was only 3,9k combined with kind of "try-hard" mode. I prefer much more Indien Panzer, buffed Pershing, Panther II or even Saladin (i enjoy this wheelie tank a lot). STA-1 has far worse gun-handling than any of 240-280 alpha 8 Tier non-premium med. It is not pleasant to snipe with this tank and to use that biggest advantage of DPM - you kind of must play in front-line or 2nd line. It has also one of the worst mobility of 8 Tier non-premium meds. I was struggling far more to 3-mark this tank, than any other meds which i mention before^. It is simply so much harder to play good with this tank, than with others.

[@thegwnhq6247]

I always enjoyed this tank. You have to be kinda cheeky when you play it and the gun is fabulous. It really prepares you for the play style of the stb1

[@motozzzlife1392]

I skipped it awhile ago, went ahead and bought it last night since I already had a crew. Set it up to play more passive since it's paper. Gun seemed nice, mm was decent, took me five games to get an Ace Tanker. Support, Snipe, go aggressive mid to late game. Worked for me😊

[@VersusAllOdds]

That game sense at 10:45, Skeeeel you the man!!!

[@АндрейБелозеров-к6ю]

First game was a true carry, great team work with the light tank

[@emilgaarsmand7895]

Yep, really nice tank. I was hesitant to play with it once I got to it, but such a surprise, especially peak and shoot, where it is amazing! Same with the Type 61, is actually really easy to play with, even with the small gun, that has insane DMP😊 a really nice line overall!!

[@mitch40aw]

Your EBR in that 2nd battle, top scout running around friendly base for most of the game. That’s the type of scouts I get in my battles 😂

[@Gilmaril]

I think people hate this tank because of the unusualy horrible stock experience. At stock this tank has 165 pen with standards, 850 shell velocity, 1830 dpm, not very good gun handling and meh viewrange. You can instantly go for the middle gun and waste 19k on it to have penetration, but everything else remains the same. For the top gun you need to research the turret for 17k, which gives you 10% dpm by the way and fixes your viewrange to OK, and then you can go for the gun for 41k xp. After that tracks still help a little on moving dispersion, but the previous 58k xp is the source of the bad expression. :)

[@StephaneGallay]

Started playing with it and the grind is quite painful. I can see the potential, but it will take time to get there.

[@JDWDMC]

Thank you for this. The last couple of days have given me a lot of STAs to farm.

[@artturieskelinen7632]

I didnt remember how it was playing whit this tank. You gave me the flashbacks.😁

[@BonifacyGolonka]

I liked it so much, that I purchased STA-2 a bit later, STA-2 has a bit worse gun but still very enjoyable tank for me. Edit: It's funny when Skill names this tank STA-1, STB, STA-2 and Type xd

[@iToxicMochi]

Its an uptiered Sherman Easy 8. That alone makes it pretty damn good.

[@kripal2125]

I didn't expect a fishing lesson by skill, but im grateful for it.🤗

[@reaperex9608]

0:00 Good Day Sir, im super ready for my dose of skill, lets go!

[@Taooflu]

I feel bad for people who to face you. It’s like taking summer piano lessons and then going up against Mozart!

[@P4R4LL4X]

I really wish WG would do something about 2-3min games nowadays, it's not fun. I really enjoy the longer 10-15min games more personally.

[@rhystillo]

I love this tank with all my heart....but the gun trolls me so. This tank doesn't have DPM, it has DPS - damage per second haha It just sucks that you work so hard, play so well, and end of the game you have...1800 damage.

[@Longdn00]

1800 is much better than average tho

[@Rika101OfficialYT]

hmmm...I can feel King Babboon will play Chicken Rice (Chi Ri) next...

[@kimstock]

I wonder how you changed the UI of the champi MOEMOD. I'm printed differently. Do you happen to know the shortcut?

[@fherot8200]

I love Chi Reeeeee, STA-1 was good and STA-2 is beautiful. But the real gem is the Type 61. My favorite tier IX tank.

[@emilgaarsmand7895]

I so agree!! Type 61, is really underrated😊

[@waldmensch2010]

holy crap this tank has a high skill cap, i will die like a nook with this tank

[@MasterApeFPV]

I have the Sta-1 still stock. difficult tank to play, and should be played as a second line tank imo.. I still enjoy it though, like my other paper-armor tanks. 😂

[@Without3]

Hello skill, what about S.Conqueror? Or 121 b i dont remeber when it was last time

[@ksil5721]

11:12 buuuut skieeeeel this is Sta 1 ! 😉

[@gobartosan5768]

This tank is hard for me to play but I am enjoying it. I hate it cuz I have a lot of bad games but some games things just click in my head and I make good decisions lol and the gun wasn't nice until I got snapshot and smooth ride on my tank but I think that's allot of tanks

[@CaseyJones88]

Fantastic gameplay as always! 10/10

[@barbonson_richards]

Try it with the 156 pen stock gun to understand why people dont like it

[@KenBarrens]

I wise CC once said "If you cannot make the tank work, it's you, not the tank" and that continually applied on all tanks he played :D

[@godlyelf]

Skill, do you still play with the mod for the aiming reticle?

[@ElsinoreRacer]

The camo rating is absurdly bad. Heavy tank bad. Look it up. Horrible. I struggled with it until I looked into it. Assume you will get away with nothing and it gets playable. On wide open maps, I just figured it had the gun to be a decent TD until things thinned out a bit. Worked well.

[@kiliantrommet9113]

Yo guys can anyone tell me where I can get the mod which used to be called better reticle mod pack from jack_aka or smith like that. I mean the one where the aiming circle is just smaller if yk what I mean. I would like to get it again but this one I mentioned above hasn’t been updated since nov 2023 or smith. So I was wondering if maybe there is a new one or there is another problem.

[@puma51921]

Like the tank. The damage is bad. No one fears you

[@nemanjastefanovic4667]

Play type 61 with stock gun, 4 seconds reload just saying 😁

[@xerox9151]

Another thing is the shots on the move. The hidden stats are good almost no aiming needed at least for sta2 wich is similiair

[@TheAlpha2112]

I smiled at the end of the first game 😍🤗

[@9011dave]

I've been trying for years to make japan's mediums to work, and still can't do it, I'm just not good enough !

[@ZAWADAL]

Nice game 👍

[@joe125ful]

Why not get OBJ 274-A,more armor,gerat dpm,better pen and gold.

[@benloveday6113]

Except the Obj 274a is a premium tank lol, of course it has better armour, etc, but not everyone is able to buy premium tanks.

[@joe125ful]

@@benloveday6113 I know STA-1 is nearly same as tree one that was my point. And if you want 8 tier med there is better options like Indian Panzer litlle less DPM but better armor.

[@benloveday6113]

@@joe125ful yeah but indien panzer I find has pretty meh mobility and the gun can troll big time

[@joe125ful]

@@benloveday6113 Well no tank is best..

[@chaozboy9482]

Tank for Unicums, for everybody else complete kaku

[@jordanandin7084]

My playstyle are more likely paper tanks but very versatile.. this one is my fav and sometimes i say the most armored one 1 played... the thing is autoaiming at this tank will automatically shoots its tiny manlet or gun because of the low profile the tank has.. i always smiled like a dog whenever i bounce 15cm gun like grille and other lazy auto aiming guys its funny because its so casual i can shoot back 3-5 times before i died

[@toivomandel6004]

this tak sucks as stock and 75% crew. But not as mutch like some other tanks like Amx65T. I have now it fully upgraded and I enjoy to play this tank. Still Amx 65T is my nemesis

[@svetlinbostandjiev4256]

lovely red ass baboon games :) gg buddy!

[@ZafrasF]

This tank is bad, but ofc Skill can make any tank work. Can't spot, not a fast tank, no armor and gun isn't that good.

[@sombrechopper9997]

That's the STA 1 , not 2 :') this lack of respect 😂😂

[@4DTrue]

Day 13 of asking skieeel for ho-ri 1 video, we are missing one!

[@kimok47]

i think sta is the least enjoyable in this line tier 7 have nice magazine tier 9 is flexible same as tier 10 but tier 8 is just too basic

[@Merlinczech]

for me tier 7 almost stops playing this line. 70% games in tier IX with 186 pene on gold is absurd.

[@kimok47]

@@Merlinczech personally i enjoyed it

[@Merlinczech]

@@kimok47 I don't mind playing it in the same tier MM, but when you have almost all of your games against Progetto, Bourasque, Char Future, E50 and Bzzzzz and other unpenetrable heavies, fun goes away. My favourite t7 medium was and always will be T20 and and maybe Leo (not with big gun).

[@krisztiansallai1322]

I never understood why people hate the CDC and like this tank. I mean CDC is faster and has a better gun

[@krstfkbl5145]

For me this tank don't work, i mean it's gun. It's nowhere near acurate like on video.

[@dadaznamsmaras]

And skip all from tier 1 to tier 7 start with sta 1 or u gonna bleed :D

[@michastari2994]

[@asocialsocialist2534]

It is easy, just camp and dont be agressive :D

[@Stefan-wp2qr]

I hated this tank so much

[@Merlinczech]

I hate this tank. Really do. Or, to be more precise, tank is fine, movement, traverse speed, but that crooked gun makes my game painfull. I suffer the same way like when I were exping TVP VTU or Indian P. Hate that tanks. Not to mention that today i have like 20% WR after 3hrs of playtime. Even exping SWE TDs during Christmas was full of joy compared to new years games. Dont't know if it's just me, but today avg WGRating of my teams was like 3000-5000 with 25k games overall, enemy teams was like 5-8k ratings, with just too many over 10k players. I'm not good player, have like 1100-1700 avg dmg on my t8 MTs, but with STA-1 I cannot go over 1k *sadpanda* and it's not because I fire 5 shots in whole game. It's like about 20 shots fired, half of them are not able to even hit standing target. I'll try to switch vents to improved aiming, but.

[@geofre]

Same here. Everything is kinda OK, but gun is absolut disaster. 20 shots fired and five hits. Rest of the shells gone who knows where…

[@Merlinczech]

@@geofre I'm watching Skills last video about 430U and that's it - very first minutes he talked about how he cannot rely on 430Us gun and miss like 3 or 4 shots a row...That's my STAs gun! But Sklill is god, he force that gun to work, I'm peasant, once my tank says "fck you", it's done :-)

Love your total lack of respect for the english language , staoan is a good tank ! :))))

[@test_nametest_surname1794]

that is correct because sta1 is japanese tank and prononced in that way

[@freddyng1843]

There is this wise saying, "It's not the tank, its about the player. A good player will make a bad tank look decent. A bad player will make a bad tank look worse."

[@Cortesevasive]

Absolute crap tank, no alpha and no armour and no camo straight to garage.

[@sunykamey4542]

Mediocre tank at best and very un-fun to play. Can't recommend unless you like playing third wheel.

[@drompimccoy9501]

Quite easy, this tank is crap! Skip it if you are able to Skill makes every tank look easy

[@frankxu4795]

It can be an enjoyable tank for super unicums. Avg Joe just follows this advice because it is true
