The SU-100's story in history
The SU-100 was developed by the Soviet Union in 1944 and operated as anti-tank artillery during World War II. 2,300 SU-100 were produced by July 1945, and large numbers of SU-100 were sent to Soviet allies after the end of World War II. The SU-100 was equipped with a 100mm gun on the body of the

which contributed to the improved firepower. It was widely operated in defeating German heavy tanks at the Eastern Front.
During the Korean War, North Korea operated the SU-100 provided by the Soviet Union. The SU-100 had strong firepower, while the armour was thin, making its defence vulnerable. Therefore, it was mainly used for infantry support and anti-tank missions.
After the first battle in Budapest in January 1945, the Soviet SU-100 was used in Hungary's Balaton operation in March. The SU-100 was reborn with the help of Wargaming. Check the remarkable moments of this tank destroyer in the footage below.

The Tier VI

has a rather high damage potential among the same-tier vehicles. The strength of its 100/122mm gun is enough to offset the weaknesses of its low hit rate and long reload time.
If you want to feel the excitement of a one-shot-kill, the SU-100 will be a good choice. Don't miss the chance to experience the true charm of a tank destroyer in battle!
