Soviet heavy SP guns

[Mad Russian]

Why nobody mentioned the best Russian tank killer su100 ?

This thread is mainly about the HE chuckers. Kind of. So the SU-100 wouldn't fit into that category. It's all about high velocity and killing tanks.

Quite an impressive TD though.

It's not quite as rare as people think. There were 1,675 of them produced.

That's more than the number of PzIII's that invaded Russia in 1941 and people don't think the PzIII in 1941 was rare.

There were 1348 Tiger I's made and I see them in scenarios all the time. The Tigers were around from 1942 to the end of the war though and the SU-100 was only available in 1944 and 1945. That makes it less available for the longer time period but more available for the time it was deployed.

So, while the SU-100 wasn't the 13,000 vehicle workhorse of the Red Army they were made in considerable numbers and deserve to be seen more often in battles.

In my opinion the best tank killer in the Red Army is the T-34/85. It's fast, maneuverable, has a gun that will kill anything from at least the flanks and most tanks - including Tigers I's - from the front.

Good Hunting.
