The SU-100 was to replace the SU-85 in front line service and started to do so from late 1944. Improvements over the SU-85 were the almost doubling of the frontal armour to 3 inches, improved commander’s fighting compartment and cupola and a beast of a naval gun – able to penetrate the frontal armour of any German tank with the possible exception of the King Tiger. Indeed the Soviet tank crews gave the new tank destroyer a nickname that we cannot publish here as a result.
The SU-100 saw extensive service in the last year of the war. This was one of the most powerful tank busters of the war, able to wreck every German tank it saw. With penetration of over 125mm from up to 2km away.
