Combat on the Russian Front

[Mad Russian]

An interesting note on the SU-100 is this quote:

Having an excellent firepower and maneuverable, this tank destroyer was able to penetrate a frontal armor of any German AFV from a quite long range. It's AP shell could penetrate 125 mm vertical armor from 2000 metres, while from distance of 1000 metre it could penetrate most of German AFVs through. In spite of many guessings, SU-100 didn't have any HEAT or sub-caliber ammunition. These ammo were developed after the end of war.

Found on The Russian Battlefield.

So apparently the Soviets only made AP rounds for the SU-100 during the war. CMBB allows the SU-100 to carry AP, HE and Smoke. It appears that during scenario making both the HE and smoke rounds should be left out of the vehicle.

The vehicle was deployed in it's own units.

From December 1944, some Soviet regiments and brigades of the medium self-propelled artillery being rearmed with SU-100's. Each of that regiments consisted of four batteries of 5 vehicles plus one commander's SU-100 or T-34 per battery. A self-artillery brigade consisted of 65 SU-100's.

For those wanting to use them in their own scenarios.

Good Hunting.
