About the Russian SU-100:
The SU-100 31.6-tonne tank destroyer was used extensively in the last year of WWII (and beyond) and was one of the war’s best tank destroyers. Built by UZTM, it was based on the successful SU-85, though it had a more powerful D-10S 100mm gun capable of penetrating 125mm of vertical armor (i.e. any German tank) at a range of 2000 meters. Other improvements to the SU-100 were its thicker frontal armor increased to 75mm, a commander’s workspace in the right-hand sponson, and a cupola for the commander. The SU-100 also had two ventilators installed.
