[Strippers Series]: ST-I Weak Spots

 

Frontally the ST-I’s hull armor is well protected against most tanks it will face and especially if the lower glacis is hidden.  When facing a ST-I from this angle focus on the lower glacis if you are not within 50m of them since as you get closer than that the lower glacis will become angled more and thus harder to damage.  Instead at close range shoot down into the upper glacis since it will loose some of it’s angle and will be easier to damage.  The driver’s port that is area 1 is also a good weak spot to use if you can hit it reliably since it is not very large.

The turret front is where the ST-I shines since the ST-I has enough gun depression to hull down unlike other Russian heavy tanks.  When encountering a ST-I that has it’s hull hidden you are limited in where you can damage it on it’s turret.  On the turret front area areas 4 and 5 that are your best bet in this area.  All other areas when the ST-I is facing you are very difficult or impossible to damage.  Around the gun is a flat 300mm piece of armor that is also able to be damaged but there is a higher chance of doing 0 damage if you clip the gun module.  On the turret roof of the ST-I is the cupola which also provides two small areas that most tanks can damage.  Make sure to aim in the center/left side of the cupola and do not stray to far to the edges since while this is a weak spot it is still pretty tough.




If your gun is too bad, so track him and call someone who can penetrate (arty, tier VIII-IX TDs, tier IX HTs are recommend).
