Guards Tank Killer Company (SBX14)

Guards Tank Killer Company (SBX14) The SU-100 self-propelled gun was the successor to the SU-85. It was based on a similar, but not identical, chassis mounting a 100mm D-10S gun. This excellent gun could penetrate 162mm of armour at 500 meters and 150mm at 1000 meters range. Learn more about Stalin's Europe releases here... Read the Stalin's Europe Design Notes here...

The hull was improved from the SU-85 assault gun with the addition of a commander’s cupola, the same as that found on the T-34/85 tank. It was housed in a cylindrical casemate to the right of the gun.

In 1944 the first 500 SU-100 assault guns rolled off the production line at the Uralmarch factory in Sverdlovsk (now Yekaterinburg).Another 1175 were built in 1945. They began replacing SU-85 assault guns in the medium assault gun regiments and brigades in late 1944.

SU-85M The SU-85M assault gun was a stop-gap measure utilising the new improved hull built for the SU-100. Not enough 100mm D-10S gun were initially available, so 85mm D-5 S-85 guns were mounted some early production hulls. The major advantage of the new hull was that is could carry up to 60 rounds instead of 48 of the SU-85 hull. Designed by Evan Allen Painted & Stowage by James Brown
