Description

GarageImage SU-100Y.jpg


The SU-100Y is a premium Rank III Soviet tank destroyer with a battle rating of 5.3. It was introduced in Update 1.51 "Cold Steel". A rather large profile tank destroyer on-par with the KV-2, but with a much more powerful 130 mm naval cannon, it serves well as a defensive vehicle against an offensive force.

General info

Survivability and armour

Armour type:

  • Rolled homogeneous armour
  • Cast homogeneous armour (Rear hatch)
Armour Front Sides Rear Roof
Hull 60 mm (46°) Front plate
60 mm (71°) Front glacis
25 mm (49,70°) Joint plate
60 mm (49°) Lower glacis
60 mm Overall
60 mm (27°) Engine side deck
60 mm (5-14°) 20 mm Front
20 mm (82°) Rear deck
Superstructure 60 mm Front
50 mm (1-27°) Gun mantlet
60 + 60 mm Gun shield
60 mm 60 mm (17°) 20 mm

Notes:

  • Suspension wheels are 20 mm thick while the tracks are 30 mm thick.
  • The protection is only 60mm thick at its strongest. So it will not absorb any rounds anytime soon. Weapon calibres exceeding 20mm can pierce the armour, turning SPAAG into a real threat, if close enough. It is a good idea to stay with teammates or remain at distance from the main battle.

Usage in the battles

This tank is all about the gun. It defines what being a bonafide tank destroyer is. Bad armour, bad mobility, but amazing firepower. Just park the the tank in a position where you will be difficult to flank. That way when you do fire the gun, you can immediately run and hide while you reload. It can not be emphasized enough, this tank can not let itself get shot at. It just doesn't have the armour. But once your ready to let one of thee 130 mm shells loose, this tank fears few.

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • SU-100Y's B-13 cannon is one of the most powerful guns in the game. Able to penetrate ~200 mm of armour at 500 meters. No tank at its BR can reliably bounce a shell from this tank.
  • Astounding 2.35 kg of TNT explosive filler in the PB-46A APHE shell. Can reliably one shot any tank in the game, including the Maus.
  • With 5 degrees of gun depression, SU-100Y has better gun depression than nearly every other Russian TD.
  • SU-100Y has a very powerful engine. Accelerating to its top speed and maintaining it even while going up hill is no problem.
  • Six man crew gives this tank a decent chance of surviving a penetrating shell.
  • Huge fear factor, no tank wants to get shot at by the 130 mm.
  • Like with every other premium tank, it has a RP and Lions boost.

Cons:

  • Skilled players will recognize the threat an SU-100Y poses. Expect to be the center of the enemy's attention.
  • This is a huge tank. Finding decent cover or a good ambush location is difficult at best.
  • Sub-par armour for the BR. Every gun that this tank can face poses a serious threat.
  • Extremely vulnerable cannon breech and barrel. Problematic as a single hit to them will result in them being in critical condition.
  • With terrible maneuverability, horrifying reverse speed, and massive size, dodging enemy fire is nearly impossible.
  • Even a good crew will take more than 20 seconds to reload the gun.
