The '''SU-100 (Samokhodnaya Ustanovka 100)''' is a Soviet tank destroyer with a casemate superstructure and a 100 mm D-10S tank gun. It saw widespread action in the final year of World War II and was utilized for many years afterwards by Soviet allies' forces all over the world. After December 1, 1950, when Soviet forces left Dalian, formally concluding a ten-year military occupation, 99 SU-100s in Dalian were sold to China, and they were all assigned to the Chinese People's Liberation Army's newly formed 1st Mechanized Division. During the Korean War, the SU-100s were extensively deployed, particularly to ambush enemy armoured vehicles.

Introduced in [[Update 1.91 "Night Vision"]], the SU-100 was the last casemate tank destroyer for the Chinese Army ground forces. With a high-velocity 100 mm D-10S tank gun and a substantially faster reload rate than the [[ISU-152 (China)|ISU-152]] and [[ISU-122 (China)|ISU-122]] in the Chinese People's Liberation Army inventory, it offers much better offensive capabilities when fighting enemy armoured vehicles. With its low profile and heavily sloped frontal armour, it can hide behind tall vegetation and wait for enemies to come closer. This ultimate tank destroyer draws the Chinese Army's ground forces World War II-era equipment to a close, combining excellent firepower, speed, and adequate protection.

The SU-100 can be effortlessly defeated by a majority of the enemies faced at the BR bracket. As such, it is most important that the SU-100 makes the first, damaging shot before the enemy could get a shot first. The SU-100 is a classical casemate tank destroyer and as such has a fixed forward gun for its main armament, not too unlike the [[SU-85]] and [[SU-85M]] tank destroyers. This gives the SU-100 a preference towards a defensive playstyle than an offensive one. As such, it is best to play the SU-100 in a supporting role, firing at distant enemies and ambushing them rather than facing them head-on. The SU-100 boasts high firepower and long effective range due to its 100 mm armament. The gun is able to penetrate armour similar to the 122 mm on the [[IS-2]], but also a faster reload rate while retaining suitable post-penetration damage to devastating enemy tanks. As such, the SU-100 can lay in wait hidden in an open field and confidently attack enemies up to 1,000 m away.
 
−
 
 
−
* [[Panther A]], [[Panther G|G]], [[Panther F|F]] - Though the Panther's 75 mm gun can penetrate the SU-100's front armour with little difficulty, the 100 mm gun can penetrate the Panther's front glacis plate at quite a distance (>500 m). Thus, getting the first shot off will turn the battle situation towards the SU-100's advantage.
 
−
* [[Tiger II (P)]] and [[Tiger II (H)]] - The front glacis of the Tiger II is impervious to the 100 mm, but the turret cheeks are still a major weak point that the gun can easily penetrate. At closer range, the lower glacis is also a weak point on the front area. If the Tiger II decides to traverse its turret slightly away from towards the SU-100, the 100 mm also has enough power to penetrate through the Tiger II turret side rather easily.
 
−
* [[IS-2]], [[IS-2 (1944)]] - The IS-2 is easily disposable by a good firing on the front glacis, though the 1944 version requires careful aiming on the front glacis, thus it is better to aim at the lower glacis for an easier time at penetrating. The turret cheeks are also easy to penetrate like other heavy tanks.
 
−
* [[M4A3E2]] - when the Jumbo isn't angling, the SU-100 can penetrate its frontal hull and turret with ease. However when it's angling the hull, it is best to shoot the rather vertical turret for better chances of penetration. The explosives can knock out almost all its crew even when exploding inside the turret.

The People's Republic of China (PRC) acquired 99 SU-100 self-propelled guns and other armoured vehicles from the Soviet Union in 1954, when the Soviet 39th Army withdrew from Lüda (now Dalian). Much of the armour, previously used by the Soviet 7th Mechanized Division, was used by the People's Liberation Army (PLA)'s 190th Division. The 190th Division was then renamed to the 1st Mechanized Division (第1机械化师), and among its materiel were 24 of the SU-100 tank destroyers.

Machine guns

Offensive and anti-aircraft machine guns not only allow you to fight some aircraft but also are effective against lightly armoured vehicles. Evaluate machine guns and give recommendations on its use.

Usage in battles

Describe the tactics of playing in the vehicle, the features of using vehicles in the team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view but instead give the reader food for thought. Describe the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).

Pros and cons

Summarise and briefly evaluate the vehicle in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark its pros and cons in a bulleted list. Try not to use more than 6 points for each of the characteristics. Avoid using categorical definitions such as "bad", "good" and the like - use substitutions with softer forms such as "inadequate" and "effective".

Pros:

  • The 100 mm D-10 gun from the T-54 series at 6.3
  • Stock shells have high penetration and explosive filler
  • Can easily one-shot many tanks
  • Great top speed and manoeuvrability (56 km/h)
  • Decent ammo count

Cons:

  • Although the front armour is sloped, it's thin and easily penetrated
  • Bad gun depression of 3 degrees
  • Can be easily taken out in one shot due to the cramped internals
  • Weak armour in overall
  • Large profile and long cannon make the tank hard to conceal

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).

Media

Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
