Actually it is more IS-3A than Progetto. Because it is loading faster when there is no ammo in clip. However 320 alpha and undependable armor, so it is not broken but decent tank in decent hands. But i think frontal armor will be buffed before release because it is worse than 907.
Yes this tank will be broken and one of the ultimate stat padder. It's not so broken that it can yolo push and crush the enemy team like other tanks or remove an entire tank in less than 5s, but it's broken in a way that it makes this tank one of the most consistent/reliable of all tanks. You can easily farm damage if you have just a little patience. Cooldown to fully reload the ST62 is about 31s (without skills/equipment). In real life scenarios, it has the highest DPM of all medium tanks. It takes 10 shells from an Obj140 to start doing more damage than the ST62 in less time (without considering equipment/skills). ST-62: 9 shells (2880 damage) in 50.02s, 10 shells (2560 damage) in 57.69s Obj140: 9 shells (2880 damage) in 50.64s, 10 shells (2560 damage) in 56.97s STB1: 7 shells (2520 damage) in 40.86s, 8 shells (2880 damage) in 47.67s You rarely get the chance in an Object140 to fire on reload for more than 50s. So every time you get a cool down of 20/30s, your effective dpm is actually greater than most other tanks in the game for more than 45sn then it's a little less good (but still good).
your calculation is not really correct, you are asuming the st-62 is fully reloaded and you just take these 31 sec out if the equasion, otherwise it would look like this: 3 shots reaload +shot = 35sec + 3 more shots = 56 sec = 6 x 320 dmg (1920) thats why you cant just leave the reload time for a autoloader out, otherwise i could say BC can do 4000 dmg in like 50 sec Lion would be close to st-62 (pretty sure even better)
@tobi_kekw I know this very well, it wasn't the point. Indeed autoloaders will be even better after a full unload+reload+unload. My point was that this tank will usually have 2 shells loaded, if not three. And at that point it will be the more flexible/reliable because it can adapt to all situations. No other tier X tank can get in, unload 960 damage in 4s and then pump out a shell every 7s for several minutes (apart from the Lion). Or decide to fire only 1 or 2 if he gets surprised. My point was that the main weakness reverse auto-reloaders are supposed to have is the base DPM that is worse, except this one is good enough to compete against most other tanks. But I do agree, I had forgotten about the Lion which made me mad back then. It has the same reload for the third shell but 100 more alpha, so it's even stronger as long as you don't fire the fourth. However the Lion has a much longer intra clip reload. Lion has much better DPM than the ST62 at the coast of armour. So yeah sure, that's 2 broken auto-reloaders, my bad.
I like the reverse Autoloaders, thats why Lion also is one of my fav tanks. The only downside I see in the ST62 is that the prem ammunition is HEAT instead of APCR otherwise it looks like an nice balanced tank. First time you should be afraid of 320 alpha.
I really really like short tanks like this, less area on the tank to be shot. Think about how bad the BZ 166 was at trying to hide its hull or its rear because the thing is so friking long. Same with like the kv-5, it is a real problem. But 6 head moment, what if you don't have any hull to stick out past your turret? Well looks like This is an advantage. Especially considering that is often the weakest part of the tank and where you get set on fire the most. It stays small in the front though not smalll enough looks like, but it might take advantage of people trying to shoot standard rounds and losing a shot from high angle low roll rng. Nice video daki.
It only matters that your upper plate is flat and relatively close to your turret so you can hide the lower plate and overangle your upper plate without exposing your side armour.
I can already see how you could troll people with that autobounce upper plate around a corner. Just show the very edge that they can't pen while you hide the center of the tank.
Good tanks with average or poor armor is what this game needs. I dont care how amazing the reward tanks are as damage dealing goes, as long as its not another 279e or chieftain. Atleast the hull needs to have a weakness. So far this tank is a step in the right direction.
279 is easy to pen though. It's just like the nergal, m6, is6, obj252... it bullies tiers lower than it but in it's same tier it's less armor than an E5.
Why wouldn't they give it the same mechanic as the Lion? You get punished for emptying the clip, but have good DPM if you have the discipline to keep firing on the second. Wouldn't this be less broken?
"the average player is going to struggle" : the average Joe will never play this tank. the average player doesn't put bond equipment and shoot full gold (first battle loadout was not full gold but I think Daki only used gold)
@@JohnBlack93istaken Get what looks fun to you. I skipped the VK for the 116-F3 the last maneuvers because it looked like a fun tank, against all advice, and it was absolutely the correct decision. I adore the 116-F3 nowadays. I get the same feeling from this tank, so Im gonna skip the VK for the second time to get what looks to be a fun tank to play.
reverse autoreloading mechanic specifically is much better in every way than a single shot gun, which i think is a problem. i hope wg doesn't start releasing too many tanks with this mechanic
I mean it really depends on the situation. Id take a 140/430U/907 over a Bat on a close quarters map. But I'd take a STB or a Cent or a leo over a Bat or the before mentioned tanks in other maps. Autoloaders are GREAT if you're a decent player and you have team mates that can cover you for 30+ seconds while you reload.
@@XDXD-ik5zm i think you lost somewhere tvp its a full paper medium.. with only the gun xD cant even compare them and 2 sec unload its to fast but i know why someone need to play clan wars afther all..
@@evildarkeevildark5943 ST62 was literally getting penned by a stock M46 Patton in this video no problem lmao, sounds like youre unable to get reward tanks so therefore you want them to be absolute garbage for those that can. seems a bit selfish to me bro.
@@jarrettvoyzey9893 to be toxic in this chat is just everyday..ppl who started to play this game 5-6 year ago or even less trying to explain it to old veterans sure my dude tell me more.. every freaking tank they make is just better and better then any tech tree tank and why you want to give a better tank to ppl who aredy have overpowered tank thet most ppl cant get or wont play a stupid toxic cheater mod where 99% of the clans using stupid heck mods to win.. and dont tell me they dont use mods like thet because even in a mid clan i was in they where using thet stupid things -,-
We need this, i absolutely love that tank. Its really good in pubs but isnt totally broken to the point you dominate everything all the time. But it can have monster games no doubt. More importantly, its fun to play if you dont mind autoloaders.
@@EPIConYT all auction tanks go for the same amount, same for the top 2000. That said, I think it's a fantastic choice. If I had to pick one, and I didn't have any of the ones I do now, the 116-F3 would be my first pick. I'm missing the chief, E6, and VK btw
i cant find a clan that can play regularely jumping from clan to clan and all of them get empty fast so i ll not get those tanks at all LOL i dont even have platoonmates to get carro 45t
