Combat on the Russian Front

[Mad Russian]

I'm going to duplicate a post from another thread here because I think it deserves mention.

The SU-100 was commented on. Someone else commented that it was rare on the Eastern Front. I'm thinking that may not be as much the case as the normal gamer thinks it is.

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.

Good Hunting.
