-This tank is all about the gun. It defines what being a bonafide tank destroyer is. Bad armour, bad mobility, but amazing firepower. Just park the tank in a position where the SU-100Y will be difficult to flank. That way when the vehicles do fire the gun, it can immediately run and hide while the gun reloads. It can not be emphasized enough, this tank can not let itself get shot at. It just doesn't have the armour. But once ready to let one of the 130 mm shells loose, this tank fears few.

-The SU-100Y was developed after the failure of the T-100 in the Winter War. The vehicle was intended to fill a similar purpose as that of the KV-2, basically disable enemy fortifications with a heavy gun, a 130mm naval gun was thus installed into the vehicle, although a 152mm one was also proposed. While the tank was being service, its prototype was rushed to defend Moscow, the tank never made it into serial production and no combat records of it are known, but it is still preserved at the Kubinka Tank Museum.
+The SU-100Y was a Soviet prototype developed from the chassis of the T-100 heavy tank prototype in the Winter War. The vehicle was intended to fill a similar purpose as that of the KV-2, using its 130mm naval gun to provide support to infantry against fortified positions. The use of a high velocity 152mm gun was also proposed. The tank never made it past a prototype phase, although the single prototype built was reportedly used in the defence of Moscow in 1941. The sole model in existence is currently preserved at the Kubinka Tank Museum.
-It was introduced in [[Update 1.51 "Cold Steel"]]. The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a very heavy tank destroyer, with an extremely powerful gun but nothing else, it plays in a relatively similar way to the ISU-152. In some aspects it can be considered more like a regular Su-85 or Su-100 tho, the tank features mediocre armour at the front, and can be penetrated with ease by most enemies around its BR at close ranges, its mobility is also very lacking, with poor reverse speed and a low top speed. Its gun is a 130mm B-13 naval gun, which uses SAPCBC as its regular ammo, the projectile has similar performance to APHE, but it is designed for naval combat and that is reflected on its poor performance against angled surfaces and its large explosive filler.

Its mobility can be considered average at best, reaching it's top speed relatively quickly for a tank of it's size, although the reverse speed is very poor. Its gun is a 130mm B-13 naval gun which uses SAPCBC as its regular ammo. Boasting a large amount of explosive filler and high penetration even at long ranges, the SU-100Y has no trouble destroying enemy tanks.

 The SU-100Y prototype was sent to Kubinka in 1940 once the project stopped, however in the Battle of Moscow in 1941, the SU-100Y and its T-100 self-propelled variants SU-14 and SU-14-1 were pressed into service in the Independent Artillery Division for Special Duties. Combat records for these units are not known, but it left the SU-100Y in intact shape, allowing it to be preserved today in the Kubinka Tank Museum.
-=== In-game description ===
+{{break}}
 The SU-100Y heavy SPG was built on a modified chassis of the experimental T-100 tank on which a new cabin with a 130 mm B-13 navy gun had been installed. An experimental model was assembled at Factory #185 in March, 1940. Because combat operations on the USSR-Finnish front had ended, testing the new SPG in combat conditions was impossible. After undergoing tests, the vehicle was sent to the NII BTT research institute testing ground in Kubinka. Further work on this vehicle was abandoned.
