#100mm

The Somua SM is a magnificent French heavy tank, which brings together a mix of agility, firepower, and armor that is rarely seen at where it lies in the tech tree. This tank plays more like a medium tank with its agility and high top speed, but its armor is strong enough to bounce many shells. The main feature of this tank though, is the 100mm L/58 cannon, which has a reload of only four seconds. The Somua’s autoloader allows for this but it is also able to keep the formidable ballistics of the 100mm L/58 cannon. This article will go over the Somua in detail and describe its strengths and weaknesses.

The T-44-100 is a late WWII-era Soviet medium tank. It features a well-rounded armor profile that is comparable to the later T-54 series of tanks, and sports a heavy armament that is roughly equivalent to the US T15E1 and the German KwK43. Surprisingly, it even has mobility better than its predecessor, the T-34-85! These features grant the T-44-100 great sniping and flanking abilities, letting it excel in all situations regardless of engagement ranges. However, its poor turret armor can often be exploited by attentive enemies, and it has a somewhat poor suspension/vertical drive which makes return shots take noticeably longer than in most other vehicles as the gun can take a while to stabilize. Regardless, even with these flaws, the T-44-100 is exceptionally well-rounded and can take on almost any threat it faces from any range — something that can’t be said for many other tanks at its BR.
