In addition to its excellent gun, in patch 1.5.1 the STB-1 recieved the hydropneumatic suspension system along with buffs to the turret armouring, allowing it to take advantage of almost any hull-down position. The STB-1's excellent rate of fire combined with a reasonable 360 alpha damage allows the STB-1 to perma-track most opponents, allowing one to farm free damage at little to no risk to themselves. While the STB-1 no longer has the highest DPM the tier 10 medium tanks, having given up that spot to the K-91, it still remains a significant threat on the battlefield, with a blistering rate of fire rivalling that of the 100mm armed tier 10 Soviet mediums. It can reliably hull down unlike its predecessors due to a much needed increase in turret armor.

The STB-1 is similar to the previous tanks in the line, with the exception that it now has much better turret armor than the tanks before it.
