The SU-76I is a Soviet tier 3 premium tank destroyer.
The first prototype of the SU-76I ("I" stands for "foreign" in Russian) was created in March of 1943 on the basis of the captured German StuG III and Pz.Kpfw. III vehicles, and featured the Soviet 76-mm F-34 gun. A total of 200 vehicles were manufactured. The SU-76I participated in combat actions until the summer of 1944 and was used for training purposes until the end of the war. The SU-85I was supposed to become the next stage of vehicle development.
Briefly made available in the gift shop in November 2014, the SU-76I was quickly withdrawn from sale by Wargaming.

Player Opinion
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Frontal armour is ridiculously thick, most tier IIIs ( excluding TD's ) will bounce right off
- Very strong gun with high damage will punch right through even most tier IVs
- Good top speed in a straight line and decent hull traverse
- Preferential Matchmaking, only sees battle-tier III and IV
- No frontal weak-spots, makes the armour all the more effective
Cons:
- Poor view range and bad radio means you cant wander far from your team
- Small gun arc and very pitiful gun depression
- Accelerates rather slow and hates soft ground
- Fairly long aim-time and bad accuracy makes sniping almost impossible
- Although the gun is strong, its the lowest penetrating of all tier III TD's

Historical Info
"According to GOKO decree #2758 from January 18th, 1943, factory #37 and TsAKB NKV designed and built an experimental prototype of a SU-76I SPG on the chassis of a captured StuG SPG and PzIII tank, using a stock 76 mm F-34 tank gun.
In March of 1943, the vehicle was tested at the Sofrino proving grounds over 280 kilometers of travel and 434 rounds.
The experimental prototype passed trials, and was recommended for service in the Red Army. The SU-76I SPG was accepted into the Red Army by GOKO decree #2758ss from January 18th, 1943." CAMD RF 38-11369-1
The SU-76I was a continuation of the SG-122 design, along with some improvements, like sloped armour. Originally, the project called for a ZiS-3 gun (which was later installed on the SU-76), but the only way to provide proper mantlet protection was to use an F-34 in a special frame (indexed S-1). Armour reached 50 mm in the front. The SPG kept its 300 hp Maybach engine. Due to the fact that vehicles of different makes and models served as a base for the SU-76I, various SPGs of this type can look slightly different. It is not known exactly how many of these vehicles were made from StuGs and how many were made from PzIIIs. According to M. Svirin, the total amount of SU-76I and SG-122 vehicles built with captured StuG hulls only equalled eight.
An interesting point: the decree that accepted the SU-76I into service pre-dates its trials by a month and a half. The Red Army must have really needed those SPGs. 611 SU-76I vehicles were built (compared to 550 of the original SU-76 production run).
By the end of 1943, there were almost no SU-76Is left in the army, and in the beginning of 1944, the last of them were transferred to training units. To this day, two SU-76Is remain: an authentic one at Sarny, Ukraine, and one with a restored casemate at the Poklonnaya Gora museum in Moscow.
