The Sturer Emil is so bad it's the only tank I skipped in World of Tanks however... with so many changes... is it actually playable in 2022?

This will always be the Saint Emil in my head

[Suiko]

Wow, years of playing WoT, only today I find out that there are mid-high tier tanks without premium ammo! I thought every tank above tier 4 has premium ammo.

[vukorevic]

St Emil was actually designed around the gun. That 12.8 cm Pak was too big for existing german TDs so there is a fun fact

Edit: wow almost 250 likes thats the most ive got ever on a comment

How could you skipped this one? It's awesome! Before the HP rework I remember you could 1 shot tier V medium tanks and it was so filthy and glorious at the same time.

[daltonbarries]

I enjoyed the grind of the emil back in the day, interesting how QB never brought up how the stock gun is also viable and people use it as it carries more ammo

[timeforgottenprince]

If the St Emil had 20-25 rounds with the 12.8, then I might consider playing it, but having so little ammunition is so annoying, which is why I almost never play my Super Hellcat.

The St. Emil is very similar to the premium at tier 6 aka. the dicker max (D.max). It also have 15 degree of gun depression and has shitty armor :)

Plus the d.max have 400 meter base view range :)

[slicertm]

Fun fact: in Blitz, this tank actually has the same type of spaced armour that it has on its lower plate up on its cheeks (you can even see the mounting posts in this video), and even through there they can switch rounds immediately, this thing at least can't be penetrated with he rounds unless you get it's side

[apedley]

It's one of the few tanks I have a Fadin's medal in. That low ammo capacity helps a lot with that!

[jameslandless]

I actually really liked this tank, amazing gun, depression and the mobility is 50/50

[pavelslama]

Sturer Emil should be a Prokhorovkian vehicle, since that was pretty much the only scenario for which it was historically designed.

[grenadecraig]

This thing was so fun! How could you skip it?! You just stay wayyy back and pummel anyone who tries to make a move. Excellent gun depression and with a whopping 128mm, One of the easiest grinds I've had.

[danielfeinour]

I actually love this tank! It is rather slow, but use its gun depression on a ridgeline, in a battle without arties, and you're golden. I can't tell you how many times I got into that narrow dip on the northern side of Malinovka and just completely shredded the enemy. Assault on Steppes is another good map for this. People don't give this tank the credit it deserves. Just had a battle in it the other day where I got 3k damage.

[dragade]

I think I remember the stock St Emil being slightly more playable than the T28 stock. You have a greater top speed, reverse and better tank traverse in the stock Emil. Where the T28 stock feels like a TOG II.

Yes you get a greater gun arc with the T28 but we are splitting hairs compared to the mobility that Tier 6 and 7 offered.

[dangerousrobot]

The ST Emil is one of my most played tanks actually. Not because I wanted to but because I was new to the game and had no premium account, reserves, bonuses, blueprints or anything to help with the grind so I just played like 200 something games in it. I remember it being so painful and once I had the Rhm it was like night and day.

[skyknight]

I remember grinding the St Emil. What fun that was. TBH, after awhile, I learned to love the tank, but my goal was always the Borsig so that kept me going.

[RRHACKKILLER]

QB you should go try the ST Emil on Warthunder. Its an absolute monster in its element with its 128mm vs its own Tier and higher vehicles.

[BertieJasokie]

Ah.. I skipped the Saint Emil too. Blueprint and free xp straight to the Borsig.

[strategicmind]

I remember skipping the VK 30.01 P, Or rather the modules since it was horrible as stock and after getting all modules it became my favourite T6 medium until WG added 10 tons reclassified it as a heavy and gave it no buffs to make it fit in as a heavy.

[andreasrodin]

The ammo capacity never really bothered me with this... because either I died quick or my team melted the enemy team before I could leave base
