9.21. ST-I Armor changes In the HD. move
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.
