The SU-100s used postwar most likely have these issues resolved.Catainiumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03034282847993394837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-751737545252493205.post-88349178816795759922019-07-25T18:05:10.631-04:002019-07-25T18:05:10.631-04:00Why is it considered a "successful" Desi...Why is it considered a "successful" Design? A heavy-class 46 ton tank with a demanding engine, behind only 80mm glacis and 50mm sides. Good gun, yes.<br />But consider the SU100. 75mm sloped glacis and 45mm sloped sides all in a 32 ton tank. A simpler, economical 500hp diesel giving more power to weight and allowing twice the range distance. Less ground pressure from a much simpler roadwheels design. Full commanders cupola. And the best bit is its awesome 100mm gun. Identical armor penetration to the 88 L.71, but twice as large an HE shell.<br />You could build 2 or 3 SUs for the cost of one JP. <br />The SU100 is still in use in Yemen, 70 years on, while the JP is a museum piece. Nuff said?
