-The '''SU-100 (Samokhodnaya Ustanovka 100)''' is a Soviet tank destroyer with a casemate superstructure and a D-10S 100 mm anti-tank gun. It saw widespread action in the final year of World War II and was utilized for many years afterwards by Soviet allies' forces all over the world. After December 1, 1950, when Soviet forces left Dalian, formally concluding a ten-year military occupation, 99 SU-100s in Dalian were sold to China, and they were all assigned to the Chinese People's Liberation Army's newly formed 1st Mechanized Division. During the Korean War, the SU-100s were extensively deployed, particularly to ambush enemy armoured vehicles.

-Introduced in [[Update 1.91 "Night Vision"]], the SU-100 was the last casemate tank destroyer for the Chinese Army ground forces. With a 100 mm D-10S high-velocity anti-tank gun and a substantially faster reload rate than the [[ISU-152 (China)|ISU-152]] and [[ISU-122 (China)|ISU-122]] in the Chinese People's Liberation Army inventory, it offers much better offensive capabilities when fighting enemy armoured vehicles. With its low profile and heavily sloped frontal armour, it can hide behind tall vegetation and wait for enemies to come closer. This ultimate tank destroyer draws the Chinese Army's ground forces World War II-era equipment to a close, combining excellent firepower, speed, and adequate protection.

-The SU-100 can be effortlessly defeated by a majority of the enemies faced at the BR bracket. As such, it is most important that the SU-100 makes the first, damaging shot before the enemy could get a shot first. The SU-100 is a classical casemate tank destroyer and as such has a fixed forward gun for its main armament, not too unlike the [[SU-85]][[SU-85M|(M)]] tank destroyers. This gives the SU-100 a preference towards a defensive playstyle than an offensive one. As such, it is best to play the SU-100 in a supporting role, firing at distant enemies and ambushing them rather than facing them head-on. The SU-100 boasts high firepower and long effective range due to its 100 mm armament. The gun is able to penetrate armour similar to the 122 mm on the [[IS-2]], but also a faster reload rate while retaining suitable post-penetration damage to devastating enemy tanks. As such, the SU-100 can lay in wait hidden in an open field and confidently attack enemies up to 1,000 meters away.

-* Panther [[Panther A|A]],[[Panther G|G]],[[Panther F|F]]: Though the Panther's 75 mm gun can penetrate the SU-100's front armour with little difficulty, the 100 mm gun can penetrate the Panther's front glacis plate at quite a distance (>500m). Thus, getting the first shot off will turn the battle situation towards the SU-100's advantage.

-* Tiger [[Tiger II (P)|(P)]] and [[Tiger II (H)|(H)]]: The front glacis of the Tiger II is impervious to the 100 mm, but the turret cheeks are still a major weak point that the gun can easily penetrate. At closer range, the lower glacis is also a weak point on the front area. If the Tiger II decides to traverse its turret slightly away from towards the SU-100, the 100 mm also has enough power to penetrate through the Tiger II turret side rather easily.

-* [[IS-2]] ([[IS-2 (1944)|1944]]): The IS-2 is easily disposable by a good firing on the front glacis, though the 1944 version requires careful aiming on the front glacis, thus it is better to aim at the lower glacis for an easier time at penetrating. The turret cheeks are also easy to penetrate like other heavy tanks.

-* [[M4A3E2]]: when the Jumbo isn't angling, the SU-100 can penetrate its frontal hull and turret with ease. However when it's angling the hull, it is best to shoot the rather vertical turret for better chances of penetration. The explosives can knock out almost all its crew even when exploding inside the turret.
