Console: Early Access: STA-2 & Chi-Nu Kai

The STA-2 and Chi-Nu-Kai are now available in both WoT console versions. However, the console version surprisingly recieved a preferential matchmaker, which differs from the PC counterpart. Thia is also not the first deviation of console MM to PC MM:

Rumor has it you like hearing about incoming Premium tanks — and boy do we love telling you about them! Coming to a console near you is the striking Imperial STA-2, a Japanese Premium tank which you’ve got early access to!
The STA-2 is a medium tank originally designed to traverse the rough Japanese countryside and neighboring isles. This tier VIII Premium tank boasts an excellent combination of mobility and firepower, making it an effective flanker. The STA-2’s 90mm cannon features great gun depression, excellent potential damage per minute and sports one of the highest penetrating Premium rounds across all tier VIII vehicles. This is crucial given the STA-2’s tier IX preferential matchmaking; your gun will always be in the fight!
If you prefer mid-tier gameplay over high, have a look at the STA-2’s younger cousin. The Type 3 Chi-Nu Kai is a tier V tank which also boasts adequate gun handling and damage output, making it a feared sight on tier V battlefields!
If you frequent “peek-a-boo” strategy, then you’ll feel right at home with the STA-2 and Chi-Nu Kai! Like the Chi-Nu Kai, the STA-2 will eventually make it to the Japanese tech tree*, but here’s a first chance at acquiring this Imperial flanker!
