The changes are not large. The most significant appear to be in the size and sloping of the turret and it’s sides.

it looks lilke a cupola nerf to me which was unnecessary. WG back at it again.
The hell are you smoking to think It’s s any different?
It’s a tiny bit bigger but it’s not like it was hard to hit before.
And the cupola gets 20 mm thicker to 270 mm
Less angling and bigger. Quite a huge difference.
Not just that, but if you look at the drivers hatch on the new model, its much less sloped, so that will also be weaker :/
Seems to have 270mm of armor instead of 250mm tho
Never mind, was 200 and still is. Unfortunately you’re right :/
Something is not right. On the HD ST-1 pictures the lower hull front has a upside down isosceles trapezoid ( trapezoid in which the base angles are equal ) shape, but here on the collision model the lower hull front has rectangle shape.
Looks like the sloping might be ever so slightly worse, or should I say, not as good? Also, the shade of yellow seams a bit lighter so I think that the turret nerf ain’t all the story.
Time to sell it, i’d say. Armor is a bit worse (especially Turret with bigger cupola) and nothing in compensation. I better play Conqueror then…
The drivers hatch is a clear nerf, same thickness less angle, also it looks like the hole upper front is less angeled then before, therefore also a nerf. The 9.21 model looks like an is4 hull to me. The cupola also became a bit bigger.
Dunno if the STI need that treatment.
The cupola nerf was totally deserved, actually that isn’t a weakspot.
the new drivers hatch seems to be weak now dont know why they had to nerf it
ST 1 is on of the worse tier 9 imho
I guess they are not going to make the ST-I better than IS-4 …
Lmao, because the armor on this thing wasn’t bad enough already.
