The SU-100P is a rank IV Soviet tank destroyer with a battle rating of 6.3 (AB/RB/SB). It was introduced in Update 1.71 "New E.R.A.".

General info

Survivability and armour

The armour on the SU-100P is best described as non-existent (25/10/8 for the hull) and although it may sometimes not trigger APHE fuses it would be unwise to rely on it in any way especially since most of your crew is exposed to MG fire.

Mobility

The SU-100P has good mobility with a top speed of 70 km/h on a flat road capable of getting you into good firing positons early-on in the battle.

It, like many other soviet vehicles, does not benefit from neutral steering which is a big downside considering it doesn't feature a fully traversable turret either.

The reverse speed is good enough to enable you to disengage easily and play peek-a-boo with the enemy.

Realistic 65 354 400 12.39 18.52

Armaments

Main armament

Main article: D-50 (100 mm)

The main gun is a 100 mm rifled D-50 cannon, almost identical to the D-10T of the T-44-100 and T-54/55 only with a higher velocity. The armament is very powerful for its BR but lacks a fully traversable turret.

The open configuration of the turret gives the 100 mm an impressive 7.5 seconds reload time with an upgraded crew.

Ammunition

The main ammunition of the SU-100P is the BR-412 with the BR-412D variant being the most deadly with the best penetration values especially at longer distances and with only a smaller TNT filler (103.7g equivalent) compared to the BR-412B (110.5g).

The 3D3 smoke round can be used to provide cover for your team and block the ennemy's line of sight.

Usage in battles

Arcade Battles

In arcade battle The SU-100P can be used to great effect against ennemy heavy armor but the spotting mechanic greatly impacts its abilty to engage from a distance without being targeted itself, especially in uptier. It is great way to remove ennemy Heavy competition such as the German Tiger II,the American T29 and the Russian IS-2 .

Realistic Battles

In Realistic Battle the SU-100P can be put to great use thank to its good mobilty it can get to great sniping positions early on in tyhe game, the further away from actual combat the better, the high velocity and good penetration of the BR-412D offer a significant advantage over longuer distances. The SU-100P is very susceptible to air attacks especially allied .50 cals on the P-47s for instance. Use your great gun to cripple the ennemy team form its most armored and dangerous tanks and expoit gaps in the enemy lines to engage the from places they will not expect you to be.

Avoid going into close quarter engagements even if your gun and reload speed are well suited because the lack of a 360° traverse can cost you greatly.

II Suspension Brake System FPE Adjustment of Fire
III Filters Crew Replenishment BR-412D Elevation Mechanism
IV Transmission Engine 3D3

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • Hard hitting and accurate gun for its BR.
  • Decently mobile hull (same as on the Object 120 but without the extra weight of the turret).

Cons:

  • Weak armour overall prone to hullbreaks.
  • Large silhouette
  • Crew is exposed to MG fire.

History

Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the vehicle in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === In-game description ===, also if applicable).
