What is better to install on su 100. Military review and politics

Review of video guide for the SU-100 tank World of Tanks

SU-100 is a representative of the 6th level of the Soviet aircraft. This combat unit has a unique design, which is unique to, and was created on the basis of. After leveling up this tank, there are 2 development paths to choose from, the first starts with the model, the second path starts with the model.

The SU-100 tank, which has excellent balanced characteristics, allows you to use different styles of use for the game. Firepower provides a powerful 100 mm gun with a penetration of 175 mm and damage of 230 hp. The rate of fire reaches 9 rounds per minute. Why didn’t I choose the 122 mm gun? To be honest, it does not justify itself in battle and significantly limits combat effectiveness.

The maximum acceleration is 50 mph, and the reverse reserve is 14 mph. Excellent indicators, allowing for active resistance on all flanks on the map. Weight reaches 39 tons. Engine power is 520 hp. And the review stopped at 350 meters.

Armor indicators:

• Body: forehead - 75 mm, sides - 45 mm, pocket - 45 mm.

A certain set of modules allows you to unlock the full potential of this technology:

• Rammer - reduces the gun reload time;
• Camouflage net - allows you to quickly hide in a passive position;
• Stereo tube - increases the viewing range, which allows you to fire from a long distance with impunity.

• repair kit;
• fire extinguisher;
• first aid kit

Crew.

An excellent crew is the key to an excellent battle.

• Commander: light bulb, the Brotherhood of War, camouflage, eagle eye, repair;
• Driver mechanic: sniper, combat brotherhood, camouflage, off-road king;
• Gunner: virtuoso, military brotherhood, camouflage, vindictive;
• Loader: camouflage, combat brotherhood, repair, non-contact ammunition rack;

Weaknesses of technology

Since this battle monster is a successor, then everything weak spots were also passed down by inheritance, except that the already impenetrable areas of technology were strengthened.

The frontal projection is very difficult to penetrate into any area of ​​the tank. It is necessary to accurately target the commander's observation hatch, which is guaranteed to let damage through. Plus, you can try to break through the driver's hatch, which is located to the right of the gun mantlet, but due to the slope of the armor, it does not always break through. In addition, if it is located higher than the SU-100, then you can try to penetrate the upper armor of the gun mantlet with the canopy of the projectile, it is not so strong and its penetration makes it impossible for the enemy to shoot.

WOT SU100 world of tanks

Side projection penetrates perfectly into any area, Special attention It is worth paying attention to the aft part; a successful penetration causes an engine fire. It is worth remembering that it is mandatory to fire at the front track rollers, which can immobilize the enemy, depriving them of any opportunity to resist.

All the above information should become your key knowledge, which will allow you to make the most of your weak and strengths SU-100.

Battle tactics.

This combat model has excellent characteristics that allow this combat monster to be used in different styles games. In almost any situation (except for the position at the bottom of the team), this vehicle can be used as a breakthrough tank, this becomes possible due to the excellent armor angles and the impressive frontal armor indicator.

Equipment

This game tactic is the most preferable for this tank destroyer, since the camouflage coefficient of the SU-100 is almost the best in the game. In combination with camouflage net, stereo tube And rammer This vehicle will be an excellent ambush sniper.

Equipment

The first and second equipment slots are filled with standard first aid kit And repair kit in case of crits, the third can be placed either fire extinguisher, or tightened speed controller/lend-lease oil. A fire extinguisher is less preferable, since in the event of a fire, almost double the damage from the vehicle is removed, which leads to almost immediate destruction, considering that this AT is thrown towards level 7-8 tanks. Therefore, you must choose between a less expensive but more dangerous regulator and a safer but more expensive oil. Both perform the same function, the only difference is the result. When using the first, there is a possibility of breaking the engine, which will negatively affect the survivability of the SU-100, so it is recommended to use an oil that is more expensive, but more reliable. Actually, the oil itself will allow the SU-100 to accelerate much faster, which is a definite advantage when taking a position in a timely manner before an enemy attack.

Ammunition All ammunition is loaded with armor-piercing shells. It makes sense to take several high-explosive fragmentation ones in case the grapple is knocked down.

Equipment

When choosing this tactic, the player must understand that the SU-100 ceases to be a tank destroyer. It becomes something between a tank tank and a tank tank, designed to support the attack of allied heavy tanks, pushing through the flank. Consequently, it is inevitable that the tank's firepower and driving performance will be enhanced. This is facilitated rammer, reinforced aiming drives And ventilation.

Equipment

In this case, the equipment remains standard, namely: first aid kit, repair kit, fire extinguisher. When resorting to this combat tactic, every unit of strength is extremely important, as is every shot of this tank destroyer, so it must live as long as possible.

Ammunition is completely filled with armor-piercing shells. With such a game, it will no longer be possible to return to base, and the D2-5S gun penetrates absolutely all tanks of the level that this tank can encounter.

Equipment

When choosing this tactic, the player must understand that the SU-100 does not cease to be a tank destroyer, but is called upon to be at the same time more active, like the ST, to support and cover the attack of allied heavy tanks and during base defense. Consequently, she uses active light and her camouflage to engage in more comfortable and best positions. In some cases it can replace RT. This is facilitated coated optics And ventilation. By resorting to this “active ambush” combat tactic, you will be able to suppress the enemy’s offensive, causing serious damage while defending the base.

Equipment

Equipment remains standard, namely: first aid kit, repair kit, fire extinguisher.

Ammunition Filled with armor-piercing, sub-caliber shells to penetrate more armored vehicles at a higher level, and several high-explosive fragmentation shells in case the base is captured. With such a game, it is possible to return to base.

Hello tankers!!! Let's talk about the Soviet tier 6 tank destroyer: SU-100.

Development history

The SU-100 was created on the basis of the T-34-85 medium tank by the Uralmashzavod design bureau at the end of 1943 - beginning of 1944 as a further development of the SU-85, due to the latter's insufficient capabilities in the fight against German heavy tanks. Serial production of the SU-100 began at the Uralmash plant in August 1944 and continued until the beginning of 1948. In addition, in 1951-1956, its production under Soviet license was carried out in Czechoslovakia. A total of 4,976 self-propelled guns of this type were produced in the USSR and Czechoslovakia. First combat use SU-100 took place in January 1945, and subsequently SU-100s were used in a number of operations during the Great Patriotic War and the Soviet-Japanese War, but in general their combat use was limited. After the war, the SU-100 was modernized several times and remained in service for several decades. Soviet army. SU-100s were also supplied to the allies of the USSR and participated in a number of post-war local conflicts, including most actively during the Arab-Israeli wars. By the end of the 20th century, the SU-100 was withdrawn from service in most of the countries that used it, but, nevertheless, in some of them, as of 2007, it still remains in service. The main weapon of the SU-100 was a 100-mm rifled gun D-10S arr. 1944 (index “C” - self-propelled version), which had a barrel length of 56 calibers / 5608 mm. The gun provided the armor-piercing projectile with an initial speed of 897 m/s. The gun was installed in the front slab of the wheelhouse in a cast frame on double axles, which allowed it to be aimed in the vertical plane within the range from −3 to +20° and in the horizontal plane ±8° (in the game we have ±12°). The technical rate of fire of the gun was 4-6 rounds per minute. During the Great Patriotic War, the armor penetration of the D-10S allowed it to destroy the frontal armor of most German tanks and self-propelled guns. The D-10S was capable of penetrating the frontal armor of the Tiger and Panther, including the upper frontal plate of the latter, which penetrated at a distance of 1,500 meters, exceeding the calculated capabilities of the gun. The side armor of German tanks, even on the heaviest production models, vertical or located at slight angles of inclination and not exceeding 82 mm, like the frontal armor of the main mass medium tanks and self-propelled guns - Pz.Kpfw.IV and StuG.III/IV, was penetrated from a distance 2000 meters or more, that is, at almost all real combat distances. The only problem for the 100 mm gun was the frontal armor of the Tiger II tank and the Ferdinand and Jagdtiger self-propelled guns produced in small series. At the same time, as shown by shelling tests on the armored hull of a captured Tiger II, carried out in Kubinka, hitting the frontal armor with 3-4 armor-piercing or high-explosive 100-mm shells from a distance of 500-1000 meters led to the formation of cracks, chips and destruction of welds, which ultimately led to tank failure. Uralmash engineers L. I. Gorlitsky, A. L. Kizima, S. I. Samoilov; engineers of plant No. 9 A. N. Bulanov, V. N. Sidorenko and mechanical engineer P. F. Samoilov for the creation of self-propelled guns in 1946 were awarded the title of laureate of the Stalin Prize of the first degree.

Any weapon is installed on a stock chassis. If you, while riding the SU-85, examined the 85 mm D-5S-85BM gun, then we go with it, if not, then we suffer with the stock gun and save 16,500 stars for the historical 100 mm D-10S gun (this gun is a worthy representative SU-100, but I’ll write about that below). Next, we will examine the 122 mm D2-5S gun for 17,000 experience. Well, in the end, the top engine, top chassis, and 85 mm D-5S-85BM (if not researched). The top radio we get is from the SU-85. I advise you to immediately research the SU-152 and SU-100M1 (even if your goal is just one branch of Soviet tank destroyers, an open tank of the 7th level will never hurt).

Crew and perks

Commander, gunner, driver, loader.
The first perk for the commander is a light bulb, the rest are repairs. The second commander gets repairs, the rest get camouflage, and then we reset and take everyone to the military brotherhood. The third one is downloading what was originally the second one. The fourth perk is radio interception for the commander, sniper gunner, mech-water virtuoso, charging a contactless ammunition.

Modules

Naturally, we install the horns, rammer and drives/ventilation to choose from.

Tank in the game

The SU-100, like its predecessor the SU-85, is a classic example of a tank destroyer. There are no features that allow this vehicle to do “unusual” things in battle. And I think any tanker with at least 1k battles knows how to play this technique. We find a bush and work on someone else’s light. Naturally, you need to know all the bushes where you can get damage and the principles of camouflage, which will allow you not to receive unnecessary damage (all this comes with growth combat experience). The safety margin of the SU-100 is 580 units, so we remember the rule of “three plops”. Contrary to the armor, the frontal part is 75 mm thick. and a tilt of 50 degrees, tanks of the same level will penetrate us without any problems. If you place the body in a diamond shape, thereby increasing the armor given, you can avoid damage. NLD has 45 mm. and an inclination of 55 degrees, i.e. I'll definitely get us there. The strongest place in the forehead is the junction of the armor plates (120 mm) and the gun mantlet (75 mm). Well, everyone knows the hatch in the VLD, where there is 65 mm, and where everyone who gets in gets through us.

The entire rear part of the tank is the engine and tanks; if the sides or rear are fired upon, there is a high probability of a critical attack or fire. Also often pleasing is the ammunition rack located in the front of the tank.
But in this section I would like to pay more attention to the topic of choosing a weapon for the SU-100. Which is better: 100 mm. historical weapon or 122 mm? I warn ardent fans of this PTshka: everything below is purely IMHO. Let's begin.

As a result, we get that 122 mm. the gun won in only one indicator: average damage. But without a doubt, this is enough to surpass all the advantages of 100 mm. guns. Let’s imagine a situation: you’re standing shotgun in the bushes, and a KV-1S with 350 HP is coming at you, it doesn’t see you. If you fire a 122 mm gun, you will probably shoot the KV-1Sa. With a 100 mm gun. You will need a second shot to finish off the KV-1S, but by this time the KV-1S will illuminate you and finish you off. But it’s worth remembering that the enemy’s spawn is not next to you, but on the other side of the map, and while he’s moving towards you, you’ll be working on him from long and medium distances, standing in the bushes and staying out of sight. With the role of a 100 mm sniper. The gun does a better job. Penetration of 175 units. Both guns have enough armor for the 6th and 7th level, but if you are thrown into the 8th level, then it is very difficult to pierce the forehead of the same Lowe in the NLD with a penetration of 217 mm, provided that it is standing in a diamond shape. But 235 is enough to punish the entire 8th level. Having interviewed 20 of my friends who rode the SU-100, I found out: 16 of them rode all battles with 122 mm. gun and not about any 100 mm. They didn’t even want to hear the guns. But the other 4 friends claimed: “Everyone who rides with 122 mm. the weapon is the noobs.” Personally, after riding a couple of battles with a top gun, I noticed that my average damage on the tank dropped sharply, and I continued to fight through the remaining battles with 100 mm. cannon. And, of course, the conclusion: 122 mm. and 100 mm. guns are equally good. Yes, in some specific gaming situation 122 mm. the weapon will perform better, and in another - vice versa. But in general, the choice of weapon should depend on the playing style. To do this, you need to play with both that weapon and the other, and then simply compare the results. Where the results are better, there is your weapon . And finally, according to tradition, I suggest you familiarize yourself with this VOD:

SU-100 is a Soviet self-propelled gun of the Second World War period, belongs to the class of tank destroyers, medium in weight. The self-propelled gun was created on the basis of the T-34-85 medium tank by Uralmashplant designers at the end of 1943 and beginning of 1944. At its core it is further development Self-propelled gun SU-85. It was developed to replace the SU-85, which had insufficient capabilities to combat German heavy tanks. Serial production of the SU-100 self-propelled gun began at Uralmashzavod in August 1944 and continued until March 1946. In addition, from 1951 to 1956, the self-propelled guns were produced in Czechoslovakia under license. In total, according to various sources, from 4,772 to 4,976 self-propelled guns of this type were produced in the USSR and Czechoslovakia.

By mid-1944, it became completely clear that the means of combating modern weapons available to the Red Army German tanks clearly not enough. It was necessary to qualitatively strengthen the armored forces. This question They tried to solve it by using a 100-mm gun on a self-propelled gun with the ballistics of a B-34 naval gun. The preliminary design of the vehicle was presented to the People's Commissariat of the Tank Industry in December 1943, and already on December 27, 1943, the State Defense Committee decided to adopt a new medium self-propelled gun armed with a 100 mm gun. The place of production of the new self-propelled gun was determined to be Uralmashzavod.

The development deadlines were very strict, however, having received the drawings of the S-34 gun, the plant was convinced that this gun It is not suitable for self-propelled guns: it has very impressive dimensions, and when pointed to the left, it rests against the second suspension, preventing the driver’s hatch from being placed in its original place. In order to install this gun on a self-propelled gun, serious changes to its design were required, including its sealed body. All this entailed a change in production lines, displacement of the driver's workplace and controls by 100 mm. to the left and changing the suspension. The weight of the self-propelled guns could increase by 3.5 tons compared to the SU-85.

In order to cope with the problem that arose, Uralmashzavod turned for help to plant No. 9, where at the end of February 1944, under the leadership of designer F. F. Petrov, a 100-mm D-10S gun was created, developed on the basis of the naval anti-aircraft gun B-34. The created gun had less weight in comparison with the S-34 and was freely mounted in the serial body of the self-propelled gun without any significant changes or increase in the weight of the vehicle. Already on March 3, 1944, the first prototype of the new self-propelled gun, armed with the new D-10S gun, was sent for factory testing.

The tactical and technical characteristics of the new SU-100 self-propelled gun allowed it to successfully fight modern German tanks at a distance of 1,500 meters for the Tigers and Panthers, regardless of the point of impact of the projectile. The Ferdinand self-propelled gun could be hit from a distance of 2000 meters, but only if it hit the side armor. The SU-100 had exceptional firepower for Soviet armored vehicles. Its armor-piercing projectile penetrated 125 mm at a distance of 2000 meters. vertical armor, and at a distance of up to 1000 meters it pierced most German armored vehicles almost right through.

Design Features

The SU-100 self-propelled gun was designed based on the units of the T-34-85 tank and the SU-85 self-propelled gun. All main components of the tank - chassis, transmission, engine - were used unchanged. The thickness of the front armor of the wheelhouse was almost doubled (from 45 mm for the SU-85 to 75 mm for the SU-100). The increase in armor coupled with an increase in the weight of the gun led to the fact that the suspension of the front rollers was overloaded. They tried to solve the problem by increasing the diameter of the spring wire from 30 to 34 mm, but it was not possible to completely eliminate it. This problem reflected the design legacy of the backward suspension of the Christie tank.

The self-propelled gun body, borrowed from the SU-85, was subjected to, although not numerous, but very important changes. In addition to increasing the frontal armor, the self-propelled gun now has a commander's cupola with MK-IV viewing devices (a copy of the British ones). Also, 2 fans were installed on the machine for better cleaning fighting separation from powder gases. In total, 72% of the parts were borrowed from the T-34 medium tank, 7.5% from the SU-85 self-propelled guns, 4% from the SU-122 self-propelled guns, and 16.5% were designed anew.

The SU-100 self-propelled gun had a classic Soviet self-propelled guns layout. The fighting compartment, which was combined with the control compartment, was located in the front part of the hull, in a fully armored conning tower. Here were located the controls for the self-propelled gun mechanisms, the main armament complex with sighting devices, gun ammunition, a tank intercom (TPU-3-BisF), and a radio station (9RS or 9RM). The bow fuel tanks and some useful tools and spare parts (spare parts) were also located here.

In front, in the left corner of the wheelhouse, there was workplace the driver, opposite whom there was a rectangular hatch in the front hull. 2 prismatic viewing devices were mounted in the cover of its hatch. To the right of the gun was the position of the vehicle commander. Immediately behind the driver's seat there was a gunner's seat, and in the left rear corner of the conning tower there was a loader's seat. In the roof of the cabin there were 2 rectangular hatches for boarding/disembarking the crew, a fixed commander's cupola and 2 fans under hoods. The commander's cupola had 5 viewing slots with armored glass; MK-IV periscope viewing devices were located in the commander's cupola hatch cover and the left wing of the gunner's hatch cover.

The engine compartment was located immediately behind the combat compartment and was separated from it by a special partition. In the middle of the MTO, a V-2-34 diesel engine was mounted on the sub-engine frame, developing a power of 520 hp. With this engine, the self-propelled gun weighing 31.6 tons could accelerate on the highway to 50 km/h. The transmission compartment was located in the rear of the self-propelled gun, there were the main and side clutches with brakes, a 5-speed gearbox, 2 inertia-oil air cleaners and 2 fuel tanks. The capacity of the internal fuel tanks of the SU-100 self-propelled gun was 400 liters, this amount of fuel was enough to complete a 310-km march along the highway.

The main armament of the self-propelled gun was a 100-mm rifled gun D-10S mod. 1944. The length of the gun barrel was 56 calibers (5608 mm). starting speed armor-piercing projectile was 897 m/s, and the maximum muzzle energy was 6.36 MJ. The gun was equipped with a semi-automatic horizontal wedge bolt, as well as a mechanical and electromagnetic trigger. To ensure smooth aiming in the vertical plane, the gun was equipped with a spring-type compensating mechanism. The recoil devices consisted of a hydropneumatic knurler and a hydraulic recoil brake, which were located above the gun barrel on the right and left, respectively. The total mass of the gun and recoil mechanisms was 1435 kg. The SU-100 self-propelled gun ammunition included 33 unitary rounds with BR-412 armor-piercing tracer shells and OF-412 high-explosive fragmentation shells.

The gun was installed in the front slab of the wheelhouse in a special cast frame on double axles. Pointing angles in the vertical plane ranged from -3 to +20 degrees, in the horizontal plane 16 degrees (8 in each direction). The gun was aimed at the target using two manual mechanisms - a screw-type rotating mechanism and a sector-type lifting mechanism. When firing from closed positions, the Hertz panorama and side level were used to aim the gun; when firing direct fire, the gunner used the TSh-19 telescopic articulated sight, which had a 4x magnification and a field of view of 16 degrees. The technical rate of fire of the gun was 4-6 rounds per minute.

Combat use

The SU-100 self-propelled guns began to enter service with the troops in November 1944. In December 1944, the troops began to form 3 separate self-propelled artillery brigades of the RGVK, each of which consisted of 3 regiments armed with SU-100 self-propelled guns. The brigade's staff included 65 SU-100 self-propelled guns, 3 SU-76 self-propelled guns and 1,492 average personnel. The brigades, which received the numbers 207th Leningradskaya, 208th Dvinskaya and 209th, were created on the basis of existing separate tank brigades. At the beginning of February 1945, all formed brigades were transferred to the fronts.

Thus, brigades and regiments armed with SU-100 self-propelled guns took part in the final battles of the Great Patriotic War, as well as in the defeat of the Japanese Kwantung Army. The inclusion of these self-propelled guns into the attacking mobile groups significantly increased their striking power. Often the SU-100 was used to complete a breakthrough in the tactical depth of the German defense. The nature of the battle was similar to an attack on an enemy hastily preparing for defense. Preparations for the offensive took a limited time or were not carried out at all.

However, the SU-100 self-propelled guns were not only able to attack. In March 1945, they took part in defensive battles near Lake Balaton. Here, as part of the troops of the 3rd Ukrainian Front from March 6 to 16, they participated in repelling the counterattack 6 tank army SS. All 3 brigades formed in December 1944, armed with the SU-100, were brought in to repel the counterattack, and separate self-propelled artillery regiments armed with the SU-85 and SU-100 self-propelled guns were also used in defense.

In the battles from March 11 to 12, these self-propelled guns were often used as tanks, due to big losses armored vehicles. Therefore, an order was given along the front to equip all self-propelled guns light machine guns For better self-defense. Based on the results of the March defensive battles in Hungary, the SU-100 earned a very flattering assessment from the Soviet command.

Without a doubt, the SU-100 self-propelled gun was the most successful and powerful Soviet anti-tank self-propelled gun during the Great Patriotic War. The SU-100 was 15 tons lighter and at the same time had comparable armor protection and better mobility compared to an identical one German tank destroyer"Jagdpanther". Wherein German self-propelled gun, armed with an 88-mm German Pak 43/3 cannon, surpassed the Soviet one in armor penetration and the size of its ammunition rack. The Jagdpanther gun, due to the use of a more powerful PzGr 39/43 projectile with a ballistic tip, had better armor penetration at long distances. A similar Soviet projectile, the BR-412D, was developed in the USSR only after the end of the war. Unlike the German tank destroyer, the SU-100's ammunition load did not include cumulative or sub-caliber ammunition. At the same time, the high-explosive fragmentation effect of the 100-mm projectile was naturally higher than that of the German self-propelled gun. Overall both are the best average anti-tank self-propelled guns The Second World War did not have any outstanding advantages, despite the fact that the possibilities of using the SU-100 were somewhat wider.
