The SU-85I is a Soviet tier 5 premium tank destroyer.
Along with the creation of the SU-76I, there were attempts to mount a 85-mm gun on the captured German Pz.Kpfw. III tanks. The vehicle never entered mass production or saw service.
The SU-85I was first released during patch 0.9.0 for purchase in the Premium Shop and became available for purchase in the in game shop in patch 0.9.2
This tank was removed from sale in the gift shop and to buy for gold via the in game tech tree on the 8/6/15 Removal of Premium Tanks From Shop as part of the WG retirement plan.

Player Opinion
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Gun with good alpha and one of the best DPM of tier 5 TD's (2132.8 DPM)
- Big and heavily armored gun mantlet
- Second best HP for a tier 5 TD
- Above average view range (20m more than StuG or AT 2 and 50m more than SU-85)
- Good camouflage values, best camouflage of Tier V TD's when firing the gun
Cons:
- Overall poor armor and very tall.
- Sub-par gun arc and depression
- Besides good plain mobility, it has bad power/wt ratio struggling to climb hills
- Rather bad gun handling, long aiming time and bad accuracy
Performance
This tank has a decent gun for its tier, having one of the best DPM of all tier V TD's. However, it is not terribly accurate. It should be played like a support tank, although sniping is not impossible. The penetration of the gun with AP ammo is good enough to pen almost all tanks in tier 5 and 6, with exception of some heavys and TDs. Because the gun is not reliable enough to fire at weakspots from long distances, it is advised to carry some APCR to deal with heavy armored tanks.
While the armor is decent for its tier, it will be penetrated by almost anything the tank is matched against. It's important to make use of good camouflage to stay hidden, take shots at unaware enemies, then use mobility to move to a new location or behind cover. Remember that the tank has excellent maneuverability, and can therefore relocate very quickly and effectively.
Because of the weak armor and overall low survivability, Sixth Sense will help you to know when you are spotted. Since this is a premium vehicle, you can train any existing Soviet TD crew much more efficiently due to the modifiers.
