worse, giving it T8 AP pen, lowering alpha, lowering it's mobility,
shell velocity, and accuracy. What's even worse, is that because of
the AP reduction, it'll have to throw literally only HEAT in order
to be competitive. Last I checked, A good medium was mobile, with a
reliable gun, and some abusable armour aspect. This STB is none of
those.DomoSapien: I'm not entirely sure as to the motivation behind reducing
penetration, I'm thinking it may be an effort to slightly reduce
the dominance of tier X mediums in Random Battles? Agile heavies
dominate the competitive meta, but redline sniping in mediums is
still generally the go-to solution for farming damage in tier X.
I'm just spitballing here, though.
I added images showing a comparison of the existing and proposed turret armor values for the STB-1 to Boop's original post.
I also think an effort is being made to fit the vehicle comfortably in a specific role, because currently it's a mediocre jack-of-all-trades that's a master of none. With the hydropneumatic suspension and extra turret armor, it should theoretically fit into a similar role as the m48 Patton - mid-range ridgeline support.
Personally (this is just my opinion so feel free to take it with a grain of salt) the STB-1 would benefit from some kind of additional buff to characteristically set it apart from the new Swediums, because currently they seem to be better at mid-range support than the STB-1 regardless of buffs. On the other hand, gun depression is my favorite stat so if it's going to have amazing depression with the hydropneumatic suspension, you will theoretically be exposing much less of your turret overall when you're poking a ridge.
