 The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is the prototype of the [[Type 74]], which was developed shortly after the introduction of the [[Type 61]]. Due to Japan's late entry into post-war tank development, they were behind by one tank generation and had to compare their Type 61s to more advanced tanks such as the [[T-62]]s, [[M60]]s and [[Leopard 1]]s. To keep up with these advancements, Japan sought to upgrade their tanks with the primary goal of incorporating the new standard [[L7 (105 mm) (Family)|L7 rifled cannon]].
-It was introduced in [[Update 1.65 "Way of the Samurai"]] along with the initial Japanese Ground Forces tree. Although the STB-1 has considerably more armour than its counterparts, such as the [[Leopard 1]] and [[AMX-30 (Family)|early AMX-30s]], and has comparable mobility, it is not recommended for use as a front-line tank. Instead, it is best to employ a cautious hit-and-run tactic similar to that used with Leopards. Proper use of the tank's [[hydropneumatic suspension]] can improve its depression and, in some cases, aid in survivability. Additionally, the STB-1 is equipped with a laser rangefinder, giving it superior long-range capabilities over other tanks of its rank. This allows it to be highly accurate with low-velocity HESH or quickly acquire target range with APDS.

-The STB-1 can be compared to the [[Leopard I]] or even a stock [[Leopard A1A1]], but has its own capabilities in its own right. The STB-1 allows for both a more held down playstyle or aggressive playstyle versus the Leopard I due to its [[Hydropneumatic suspension|hydropneumatic suspension]] and two-plane stabilizer. Together with the power of the engine outfitted on the STB-1, allows it to speedily move to a nice sniper spot or hull-down position and fire at targets before they realize a tank could be there.

-The STB-1 possesses a pretty nice angled upper front plate, but do keep in mind that the STB-1 wasn't designed to take a punch, only to deal a punch, so even with the good angle you shouldn't rely too heavily on it, as shells can penetrate it and won't always bounce off. Do keep this fully in mind especially when taking more shells with the vehicle, as the fuel tank next to the driver will be filled with extra shells, which can blow up the whole tank if a shell does eventually penetrate.

-With the addition of a 12.7 mm machine gun, the STB-1 can make short work of ZSU's or light tanks alike if the heat of the battle doesn't allow for the main gun or in-case of more important targets requiring the main gun's firepower.

 With only 2 shells to choose from being APDS & HESH, APDS can be used for long-distance engagements and HESH can deal with light to medium armoured vehicles with overpressure damage, this can be done at a long range once the laser rangefinder has been unlocked as well. But due to the low velocity of the HESH round it has to be fired at a stationary target at long range to effectively hit.
