4 thoughts on “WoT: The STK-2’s Gun is Better Than You Think”
I got it down to .17.
The worst thing about this tank for me is that the lower plate isn’t even low, it extends so high up that even peeking minimally you can get shot in the lower plate.
I agree with you, It’s not the cannon that’s holding the STK 2 back. Tub is so poorly designed that even the 14 degree gun depression is worthless. .And the armor is for the rectum.
The issues with STK-2 are so much:
Gigantic lower plate, that is really hard to hide;
Huge length – I catch STK-2s in the rear hull all the time, while they are trying to escape
And the mechanic would’ve been fine-ish… if Type 71’s gun wasn’t that good. With Type 71 you just shoot, reload and if you wait for 3s extra, you have 0.22 dispersion. And you are not punished for continuous firing. While STK-2 is getting punished a lot for firing 2-3 shots in quick succession. And not only your dispersion becomes horrible, but also you need to wait for good 30s before you can enjoy the 0.22 again. That’s just sad compared to Type 71.
The whole mechanic could’ve been sth like this: If you fire continuously and your dispcerion increases, your alpha increases too. For example, the base alpha is 420 and when you are fully heated up the alpha is 480. In this way, it would sort of mimic T803’s mechanic (DPM boost for continuous firing), but rather than increasing the rate of fire, it increases the alpha at the cost of accuracy.
Either way, I believe WG will buff this tank in the upcoming months, because there’s just no incentive to play it, when T803 exists (for a T11) and Type 71 exists (for a gun-cooling HT).

The Type 71 feels way better than this thing.

yeah, the problem is that wg usually buffs or nerfs the stats but doesn’t change the model, which is a problem considering the massive lower plate
