The T-103 is a Soviet tier 8 premium tank destroyer.
Developed on the basis of the experimental T-100 heavy tank. The vehicle was intended to neutralize fortified emplacements and could be used for coastal defense. The work on the project was discontinued at the blueprints stage. The vehicle never entered service.
Essentially a turreted version of SU-100Y, available for purchase during 2019 Homefront event.

Historical Info
The T-100 & SMK were very similar to one another in appearance, utilizing a conventional track-and-wheel arrangement relying on multiple small road wheels, a rear-mounted engine, & an extended-length hull. However, the key physical quality of both was the two in line turrets with the primary turret seated over midships mounting a 76.2mm cannon & the secondary turret fitting a 45mm anti-tank gun closer to the bow. Originally, as many as five turrets were to be included but this requirement was dropped early in development (engineers were against the multi-turret approach to begin with). Both designs eventually used a torsion bar suspension system & multiple 7.62mm DT machine gun positions. Required armor protection was to be against 45mm shells at close-to-medium ranges & against 75mm shells at medium-to-long ranges. Armor, therefore, was welded in both offerings for maximum strength & protection to the crew & vital internal workings.
While only one of the SMK form was built, two of the T-100 were completed. This model featured a crew of up to eight men charged with various duties about the tank. The tank held a length of 27.5 feet, a beam of 11.1 feet, & a height of 11.2 feet. Power was from a single GAM-34BT 12-cylinder, liquid-cooled, gasoline-fueled engine developing 800 horsepower & allowing for road speeds of 22 miles per hour & operational ranges out to 120 miles (less when going cross-country). The drive equipment included no fewer than eight double-tired road wheels to a hull side. The drive sprocket was mounted at the rear & the track idler at front. Five track-return rollers were used along the track run's upper reaches.
The primary gun became the Type L-11 weapon & to this was afforded 120 projectiles. The secondary fit was the proven Red Army 45mm ant-tank gun. Held in independently-operating turrets, the T-100 held qualities akin to a battleship with broad arcs of fire with each turret able to target separate enemies at once. The machine guns added an infantry defense measure for those elements attempting to rush the vehicle with explosives. With one turret fitted forward & the other at middle, joined by the engine at the rear, the vehicle was relatively well-balanced for its size but its length made it still clumsy & cumbersome while weight also increased - the T-100 tipping the scales at 58 tons.
Beyond the usual evaluations & trials, the T-100, along with the SMK, were both operationally fielded in the "Winter War" (November 1939 - March 1940) against neighboring Finland. SMK was disabled by an enemy landmine in December of 1939 & abandoned for two months before being recovered by the Soviets - it was never repaired nor reinstated. The T-100 had a slightly better showing in its exposure, the armor protection proving sound against Finnish 37mm & 45mm anti-tank guns. Despite this, it held terrible inherent traits for a frontline combat system & was not given official approval for adoption/serial production. At least one of the two T-100 pilot vehicles was modified to the Self-Propelled Gun (SPG) role in 1940 with a 130mm naval gun as its main armament (as the one-off "SU-100Y") to combat stout Finnish bunker fortifications. Out of desperation, this sole example was then pressed into service in the defense of Moscow (1941-1942) against the invading Germans.
There is no historical documentation to show the T-103 variant was ever considered or in blueprint development.
Historical Accuracy Errata
There is no historical documentation about the T-103. The other known proposed "upgunned variant" of the T-100 (other than SU-100Y) is the T-100Z, which is essentially a T-100 equipped with 152mm gun on the main turret that never leave the blueprint stage. There's no other known plan to design a new turret and/or modify the T-100 to accept the 130mm gun other than the SU-100Y project. So, the T-103 is considered a fabrication made up by Wargaming.
