The SU-18 is a Soviet tier 2 self propelled gun. If you enjoyed the MS-1 you just got out of, then you'll feel right at home in the SU-18; it has the same hull and engine, right down to the distinctive put-put-put sound. The SU-18 is slow and has a fairly short range. Armed with a 76mm gun similar to that T57, it has good accuracy and rate of fire. As the smallest and cheapest among the tier 2 self propelled guns, it is a good platform to try your hand at artillery combat. Just remember that in a straight-up fight you are actually worse off than you were in your MS-1 - you have no turret to aim with, so stay well hidden as far back as you can manage while still getting your shells to the enemy.

The SU-18 leads to the SU-26.

Historical Info

Drawing of the proposed SU-18

The SU-18 is a Variant of the T-18/MC-1.


In November of 1929 ANII K. M. Ivanov, commissioned by the UMM RKKA, produced a self-propelled gun based on the T-18, as well as the ammunition carrier for it. The prototype was a captured French Renault FT-17BS. The SU-18 kept the same design as the French vehicle, but replaced the tower with one that resembles a truncated pyramid. The SU-18 used the 76.2-mm regimental gun model 1927 with a slotted muzzle brake to reduce rollback. It had an ammunition capacity of 4-6 rounds and no machine guns. Other prototypes were created using a high-power 37-mm PC-2 gun and a 45-mm model 1930 tank gun, which was planned to be installed on T-24 tanks.

Armor consisted of 5-7 mm thick plates. The ammunition carrier could hold 10 trays with 50 rounds each of 76.2 mm shells, or 16 trays of 169 shells each of 37mm or 45mm guns. The crew consisted of one driver and one gunner. The decision to build the SU-18 was made on June 11 and stipulated the delivery of a prototype by October 10, 1930. However, due to the small ammunition capability and the limitations of the T-18 (a narrow gauge chassis and a high center-of-gravity), the design was abandoned in favor of larger and better self-propelled gun designs, and further work on the SU-18 was stopped.
